Hi everyone,
Welcome to my new blog to showcase my 2 pet chickens named
Curry and Giblet. Due to popular demand, I've created a blog so people all over the world can enjoy the latest photos and stories on my 2 funny, feathered friends.
My goal was to create the blog at Easter time, which is a traditional and symbolic time for eggs (and chickens of course!); however Curry went on strike on Easter Sunday and never produced an egg whilst Giblet laid a perfect egg in the nest to be enjoyed for Easter breakfast!
For my first blog post, I will introduce the two happy hens with their individual biography.
