Broody Hen incubates ducklings, Kune Kune’s arrive and Flowers

What a busy month! Maleficent the broody hen got her wish and was provided with 6 fertilised duck eggs, three of which made it to being the cutest wee balls of fluff. Maleficent has been the most attentive albeit confused dook momma ( dook being an amalgamation of chook and duck :) especially when they happily splash an entire water feeders worth of drinking water around the hen house.

My three wee ( or not so wee now) Kune Kune piglets came home to become collectively known as the pylon pigs due to the location of their new home. Penelope, Wallace and Bruce have become firm favourites on the farm! They really are adorable, fun and quite captivating creatures. They will happily roll over for a tummy rub, massage and lots of attention.

And finally the flowers have appeared!! The 200 upwards mixtures of bulbs and countless amounts of seeds have emerged and I must say mother nature really does look beautiful this year.
