Having left the winter solstice behind us, days are short and in some shaded areas of the garden the frozen lawn doesn’t even melt during the sunny days. Though, the weird thing about New Zealand winters is that at this time of the year, many native trees begin to flower and the birds’ twittering in the early mornings increases in volume day by day.
The chicken are doing well, one of them laying a green egg every second day and another young one just started laying brown eggs. The little bantham hen turned out to be a rooster though. It’s not crowing incredibly loud, but quite frequently. We’ll see what we will do with him…
