Hello again....

It’s been about 3 months since my last post. A lot has happened to keep me from posting but, I’m looking forward to getting back into the rhythm of normal life at the Lee house.

Just to pick up from where I left off from my last post, tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum had gone broody one too many times for my style. They were re-homed at the end of November to a nice couple that live on an acre of land. Happy ending….goodbye!!

Since then, I’ve been here and there, collecting different breeds, to up my egg count (from my girls….). I now have quite the collection of hens- 7 of them. Except that one doesn’t lay… don’t think she ever will. She goes in the nest everyday as if to lay an egg but forgets to leave her deposit. Never mind about her shortcomings…. I have 6 other hens to compensate for her lack of!

Now that I have 7 hens, things get a little noisy as feeding time. Here’s a video showing what feeding time sounds like. Notice the grey hen sounds like a sheep…. Figures as we are in New Zealand.


In case you didn’t hear my growling hen, Gingernut, here is a short clip of her growl. She does that only when she sees me… It’s funny.

(my videos are now linked on you tube as some of my readers have been unable to access the videos that were directly loaded into my blog. For the inexperienced, once video is finished, hit the back arrow twice to return you to the blog.)
