Freedom

A couple of weeks ago we had some work done in our yard so
we had to restrain the 2 Happy Hens from entering the work area. 

We erected a temporary plastic fence which upset the girls for the morning. 
 

 Giblet coped better than sooky Curry did. 

Giblet scratched around and went in the coop to sit

on the fake egg in her nesting box just for fun. 

Curry ran around in circles whimpering and

making sooky noises as if she was a jailbird! 

Curry was desperate to get out and have free rein of the yard.
 

 The clock struck 12 noon and the 2 Happy Hens were set free. 

Curry walked about 2 feet from the temporary fence,

 sat down and went to sleep in the bush for over 2 hours! 

So much for wanting to roam free!

Sleeping....

Dreaming.... 



 

 Awake!

 

 



What's over there?

You can't see me!

Jungle Curry, Jungle Giblet

 Curry stalking through the green, grassy "jungle".



Giblet stands tall and peeps through the grass.

Curry sits low trying to camoflague in the "jungle".

Curry has no fear and takes a nap in the grassy "jungle".



The 2 Happy Hens chill out.

Giblet watches over her sister Curry.

Giblet looks through the grass whilst Curry sleeps.

  Giblet gives the camera "the look" whilst Curry lazes in a dirt bath hole.

  Curry looks like a fat "Curry puff" in this photo!

I really like this photo of Curry.

Giblet's Giant Egg

 Can you guess which egg was laid by Giblet?

It is as big as a duck egg!

Miss Giblet laid this huge egg during the "Eat My Bed"

 event in the coop on 7th July.

Curry went crazy and did 3 "egg songs" in excitment over her

 sister's egg laying efforts. 

Refer to a previous blog posted in April 2012 titled "Easter Egg Song"

 to see Curry in egg song action!

These photos compare Giblet's light coloured egg with shop brought

 60 gram "free range" eggs. 
Nothing can be as fresh or free range as eggs from the 2 Happy Hens!
