Merry Christmas 2018

Chickadee stands tall on Christmas morning.
This is Speckles and Frenchy’s first
Christmas as 11 month old pullet half-sisters.
Frenchy sits under the shade of a leafy tree to
beat the hot summer weather on Christmas day.
Chickadee spends another Christmas broody.
Frenchy stands and preens whilst
Speckles and Chickadee sit and rest.
Speckles looks cute leaning to one side very relaxed.
Merry Christmas from 'the girls'!

Summer Time Christmas

The weather is warming up in Australia as summer is here.
Frenchy walks across the ground creeper vine.
Speckles likes to play in the greenery too.
Frenchy takes a big bite of watermelon whilst Speckles waits for her turn to eat.
The girls like to eat nice, juicy watermelon.
Chickadee pants on a hot summer's day.
There's lots of fresh water for her to drink.
Chickadee has gone broody again.
Oh no! We'll have a broody hen for Christmas!
Chickadee has been locked out of her nesting box in the
coop whilst she's broody. She sits in the dirt instead.
BFC = Broody Fluffy Chickadee!
This is about the 13th time Chickadee has gone
broody in her four year life span so far.
