Happy new - Brendan Cowell

People dont really accept chickens, which is wrong, cos we invented the pecking order.' The outback. Danny and Lyle were abandoned by their mother in the chicken coop. Discovered after several months, surrounded only by hens, feathers, pecking and clawing, they are taken into care. Over the years, theyve become media celebrities. Sultry TV journo Pru has entered their lives. But now, society is bored with them. Its New Years Eve. Tomorrow, Danny and Lyle must leave care and step out into the world alone for the first time. But are childhood traumas coming home to roost? Whats Pru hatching? Whys she egging them on? Will they ever eat Nandos again? And of course, which came first?
