• Missing You.....

  Some of you may remember from a previous post, that Kristen decided to go and live with her father over in Sydney. I thought I would post a few photo's so you can all see how beautiful she is. I miss her terribly.

  This is Kristen and Murdoch. She is really great with the twins.

  Come back soon baby.....

  These are our two chooks, Polly and Lena, they are frizzles and they are about 1 year old. Polly went broody and a few days later Lena was broody too. We wanted to increase our flock I got some fertile eggs from a lady up in Hovea. The eggs are aracauna x pekin or golden campine. Every day when I feed them I make sure they get off the nest and have a feed and poop and a drink. Especially important for them to drink in this hot weather.

  They are only off the nest for a few minutes before they make their way back to the nest. Can you make out both the chooks on their nest? I hope they will share mothering duties too. They ditched their nice nest, and chose this place in the pen. It is under the grape vine and is very secluded, so I hope it will be ok.

  The eggs are due to hatch on Saturday, so only a few days left to wait. I can tell you the waiting is just as bad as if you are sitting on the eggs yourself.
