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.
