Esperance Poultry Show 2013

Gerard promised fans of the 2 Happy Hens blog that we
would show some photos of poultry exhibited at the Esperance
Poultry Show held in Western Australia in July 2013. 
Lydia took dozens of chicken photos at the show and has
 chosen just a few of her favourites to post on her blog.  
 
The 2 Happy Hens (Nestle and Chilli) were home alone for
a few days whilst Lydia and Gerard escaped to Esperance for
 the poultry show and to relax by the sea for a few days.
We returned home to 2 Sooky Hens and a destroyed yard 
with holes and dirt dug everywhere! Many thanks to our good
friend Laurie for "Chick Sitting" whilst we were away!
 A pair of large white birds.
The hen had a floppy comb which flopped from
 side to side as she moved her head.
 Big birds!
 The White Sussex breed was a feature of this year's poultry show.
This hen just laid an egg!
Strange to see the hen sitting next to the egg and not ON the egg...?
 A pair of black and white beauties separated in different cages.
A stunning little rooster.
His feathers would be great for Lydia's millinery work! 
 A pair of fancy bantams.
 A naked neck frizzle. 
 Another naked neck.
Wow, that is the fattest chicken neck I have ever seen!
