Contrary to Honky, our frizzle hen Fluffy has been broody for several weeks and been sitting on no eggs – chicken brains are funny. So we decided we give it a go and shoved the three duck eggs under her. She’s been a happy chicken…

A few times in a row I have now been observing them in the paddock in the morning, making their way up the hill back to the house. Down at the pond or on their way up they must have met our resident paradise ducks.

Today was a sad day at Pukeatua Farmstay. We had to say goodbye to Peekie, our female Buff Orpington Duck. She was all well last night and this morning we found her in a corner of the duck run. She must have died overnight.

Today we got some more ducklings they are called Nemo, Hank, Dory and Marlin.

Most animals stick to electric fences – our alpacas do not.

Spring soon will turn into summer and the weather during the day is already so awesome.
