Hanging Out In Winter

It's been a long time since blog posts.....

Here's photos of the 4 hens hanging out in winter.

From left to right: Speckles, Coco, Frenchy and

Lexi hang out near their favourite bush.

Frenchy is fluffed up trying to keep warn whilst Lexi is hunched over.

Lexi (on the right) looks sleepy.

 Speckles comes out of the bush to see if Lydia has any snacks.

Corny Chickens

 Lydia went away for Easter so there were no Easter photos of the Happy Hens. 

Instead, you can be entertained by these 'corny chicken' photos.

From left to right, Coco (moulting, with no tail) pecks a fresh

corn cob with Lexi, whilst Frenchy looks the other way.

Lexi and Frenchy enjoy eating the corn cob.

Coco walks towards the two feeding hens whilst Speckles

feeds her face in a bowl of pallets in the background.

Speckles is not a huge fan of fresh corn on the cob.

Lexi takes a break from her corny breakfast.

Coco takes a break.

Frenchy is looking old with corn crumbs on her beak.

She's over 7 years old now.

Speckles and Frenchy Turn 7

Speckles (far left) and Frenchy (middle) turned 7 years old last month.

We've never had pet hens live so long before! They are 'grandmas'!

Lexi the white leghorn is about 5 years old.

Speckles is an inquisitive hen. We love her fluffy face and beard. 

Frenchy is moulting and she has lost half her tail feathers. 

The 4 happy hens sit under a tree in the corner.

They are all beginning to moult.

Coco (the grey hen) is about 5 years old, about the same age as Lexi.

Speckles, Frenchy, Coco and Lexi eat laying pallets from a bowl.

Dirt Bath Dirty

Coco feels the summer heat in Western Australia

and she loves to have dirt baths to cool down. 

 Coco likes to walk around dirty without shaking the dirt off.

Coco takes hours to preen herself after a dirt bath.

Our little grey hen has turned brown!

Coco is dirt bath dirty.
