Chicken Fodder



This pic shows our beds in rotation for our lovely hens. We sow alfalfa and a mixture of pea and oats - the chickens love it and do such a great job turning the soil over for me :-)

Update on the new vege bed





this took FOREVER mostly due to the massive amounts of rain we endured during June and July months grrrr! Not long to go now :-)

Chickens have started to lay yippppy


Its official one of our girls has started to lay :-) I couldn't believe my eyes when I found a tiny egg in the nesting box 5 days ago - it was so so exciting!! Now I've become obsessed in egg collection. She was a mid-day layer but now has settled into laying one every morning :-) we are so proud!!

Guess which one is ours hehehe

The tank is in YAY!!!




People the tank is in!! we have not had one problem too! Chris managed to slide the tank easily into place with out a hitch!! We have the hose underground along the fence line with the tap situation by the chicken house - a very handy place to have it :-)
