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. Her name now is Wendy Bendy Bertha.

Poor Wendy had to be suspended in a basket and with lots of loving  care was slowly on the mend.

Because she was so good, the next trip into the Vet for a checkup Wendy got a  little special treatment.WBB went shopping

Wendy picked out a video – her favourite Chicken Run of course.
