Merry Christmas! I was trying to think of something to do with Christmas and it’s with thanks to Dale and Zoe I have the true tale of Wendy Bendy Bertha.
Poor Wendy (formerly named Bertha) the Chicken, somehow broke her leg. Dale and Zoe took her to the righteous vet at Raymond Terrace who set her leg in a cast.
Wendy in the cast
Poor Wendy had to be suspended in a basket and with lots of loving care was slowly on the mend.
Poor Wendy on the mend
Because she was so good, the next trip into the Vet for a checkup Wendy got a little special treatment.
Wendy picked out a video - her favourite Chicken Run of course.

Wendy even got to sit on good Santa’s knee and tell him what she wanted for christmas.

Wendy eventally got back out in the paddock with all her friends especially Scooby the horse, but now Wendy has a very unique Chicken Strut .

A week of rain pushed lots of fresh water out to sea, then a raging southerly whipped it up to make some serious froth. Redhead shark tower.

A close up of the thick goo whipped up by wind on fresh water, maybe with some additives the compliments of 20th century living.
