What goes cockadoodle doo at a decent hour?

What goes cockadoodle doo at a decent hour? My 4 roosters!!

Yes I have 4 roosters from our chickes. When they were little I thought that it looked like 4, and I am quietly chuffed that my predictions were right. Not bad for a first timer. I know we don't need 4 roosters so we will sort that one out later. They have just started crowing in the morning. At first we thought they crowed as arama left in the mornings - that is about 6am.  Now they are crowing later - and that seems to be when arama leaves too. A pretty good way to train your roosters I suppose. I AM grateful that they are not crowing from 3am and most of the day like their daddy! ah, simple blessings!



I have been a bit bummed that I have not had ANY eggs from my chickens yet but I did gains some sympathy for them when I went to close their coup for the day ( they get to wander the land during the day if the dogs are tied up) and found this....



It has been so cold and the hail has been so frequent that even after a day of sunshine these two little blocks of ice were still sitting there. Now I am no chicken but I would not be enticed to lay an egg in this weather either! (giggle - not that is something I never thought I would say!)

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.
