Coco on the Christmas Tree

In late 2019, Lydia's friend Jen went on a holiday to Canada. Jen kindly gifted

Lydia a chicken decoration bought from a market to hang on the Christmas tree.

Little did we know that the hanging Christmas tree decoration looks like Coco! 

Coco came to live with us about two years after

Lydia received the decoration as a gift.

Merry Christmas from Coco and the 4 other happy hens.

Egg Peak Hour

Coco stands at the top of the ramp and looks inside the Taj Mahal Coop.

Lexi looks from ground level. Both hens have an egg coming. 

Coco stands on the perch inside the coop in front of Speckles

who's sitting in the nesting box. Lexi looks through the coop door.

Coco says, "Hello Speckles!" as she peeps over the nesting box dividing wall.

Lexi comes closer as all 3 hens are preparing to nest and lay an egg.

Four fresh eggs. Lexi's large white egg is pictured on the left;

the brown egg is from Speckles and the very pale green egg

(on the right) was laid by Coco. Bianco laid a small white egg later that day.

Have a Look Chook

Lydia was packing the car with handmade goods

to sell on a Christmas market stall the next day.

Lydia left the car door open and Lexi decides to jump in!

I think Lexi wants to go for a ride in the Holden Commodore?!

Have a look chook.

('chook' means 'chicken' in Australian slang language).
