Coming soon to Frogknot!

So...Pacha is sitting on 10 White Crested Polish hen eggs (she accidentally broke 2!) that are due to hatch around the 14th Feb!

Job done!

A wilderness taming weekend.

So much of this holiday weekend has been spent in mowing and weeding and taming the wilderness around us...give her an inch and Mother Nature takes a mile!

Next on the agenda for Nickification....

Cooling off.

So...with all the hot weather recently we have pretty much been having a daily dip in the dam to cool off. Today we had just got in when a swamp wallaby appeared over the hill and cautiously came down to the waters edge for a drink. I don't know if he saw us in there trying to keep as still as possible but he had a good drink, I could hear him lapping away behind the reeds, before he hopped off and left us to enjoy our swim.

Fort Cocks!

So...the 'chooks' survived the night in The Pen of Doom and today I have added even more security measures to make it quoll proof. It will be an ingenious quoll that gets in there now.
