Hey everyone! We had very humid weather (horrible) then we had a big thunderstorm. A farmer not far down the line had 4 cows hit by lightning in front of him and they fell down dead. He'd just gone out to check on his flock so it could've easily been him. They were worth a bit of money so he was a bit gutted to lose them. Here in Auckland a few people got zapped too but not directly so everyone was OK. Now we have a cold front moving through but that should be gone by the weekend.
Just had a share a photo of our sweet Daisy. Usually when you point the camera at her she closes her eyes.
Weve been making candy cane sleighs to give as presents and we tried out a batch of melting snowmen cookies (though ours were mudmen as I had some milk chocolate to use up).
We'll make proper ones to give as gifts too. The kids had a ball decorating them
I also tried making Santa bread (in the shape of Santa's face) but the recipe was far too dry so I have another one to try. It tasted yummy (I had to add more milk) but it was hard to make the shape as the bread kept puffing and not wanting to stay stretched out for the hat band. My hat didn't want to stay flopped over either. But he tasted good.

so I'll probably have to reduce it to like 3 or just not add more. Or build a bigger coop or separate coop (not really feasable). I'd also love a Cochin or Brahma but I'm trying to only add good egg layers since mine are slowing down a lot. Would add a leghorn too but they have the big, easily frostbitten combs. Oh well. And I only added them all to the cart too see how much it would be with shipping and stuff, not actually going to hit order ha but I wish.
