the start to 2011


"Holly" guarding the "Hooligans" - the 16 week old hens..  
These 300 girls will start production when our original 1000 hens start dropping production in March.  They will be joined with the 450 babies that are in the baby shed - keeping warm and socializing until they are ready to go out to the paddock like these little ones.  
They are so much fun to watch grow. And they grow SO quickly! Their little long necks sure were long when they first sighted the outdoors and the grass they were about to step onto for the first time. They've been out for about a month and are foraging and growing like proper little hens!
Funny thing - this is not the first blog post that Holly has been in... Check her out here... 


a little Christmas Eve Eve paddock get together...





Hello there - just a few happenings from around the place. 
We hope that your Christmas was joyful. Ours was for sure. 

We are so happy to be where we are, on this special farm, in a warm and inviting community here at Fish Creek.  We've been beaching and walking at the Prom - amidst the farm work....
