Could watch the babies all day! This was a delayed hatch due to the loss of power in the storms - the kids are ravenous though and ready to snack. Some delicious pink 🩷and grey 🩶 eggers are here, as well as cream legbars, Araucana and Brahmas #chicks #creamlegbar #araucana #oliveegger #pinkegger #pinkeg #dayolds #babychicks #brahma #rainboweggers #rainboweggs #eastereggs #eastereggers #cute #ilovechickens #hatch #freshlyhatched #carrot #healthystart #digestivehealth #chickhealth
The ladies are in action in their Mothers Group - Matron is rocking the single gal life while Godzilla and Griselda are raising little critters 🐥🐥 #poultry #backyardpoultry #petchicken #pet #pets #chickens #chickenreels #mumlife #mothersgroup #adventuresofgriselda #broodylife #freerangechicks #broody #ilovechickens #farmlife #adventuresofmatron #matron #griselda #godzilla #cute #critters
Oh Griselda 😱 It’s official, she’s a recidivist. She’s gone and done it again - kidnapped (or shall we say chicknapped🐥🐥🐥🐥) 4 more chicks to join her little family and now she has 8. What a peculiar habit! #kidnapper #broody #broodylife #chicks #freerangechicks #griselda #adventuresofgriselda #criminal #backyardchickens
Ran out of chicken feed in the growout house and they gave chase down the hill 🤣 #growouts #hungrychickens #backyardpets #chickensofaustralia #petchicken #backyardchickens #breakfast
Beach day with the egg kids. Feeling inspired by the beautiful seaside rocks, the rainbow eggs just had to go for a quick photo at Terrigal Beach! A few human kids approached and asked if we found these at the beach - alas they were palpably disappointed to find out they came for a drive in an egg carton from our farm 🤣 #rainboweggs #backyardpoultry #chicks #chickenmad #eastereggers #centralcoastnsw #seasidephotography #terrigal #coloredeggs #chickensofaustralia #eggs #beach #eggsonthebeach #eggphotography

Weird things you see in a plant nursery 🤷🏼♀️🦆
CHICK HEALTH HACK 🐣🐣 Day old chicks can be so fragile - and the first week is pivotal in their development. Warmth, hydration, digestion. Some chicks get it straight away (yes those chunky Marans fluff balls) and some breeds or lines just seem a little slower. A great way to teach them to eat and also to jump start their digestion with fibre is to make their first meal a finely grated carrot 🥕🥕 it acts to hydrate and clear any blockages, and the bright attractive colour teaches them very quickly about food. So if you have any early deaths or failure to thrive, or even chicks that seemingly don’t understand how they’re meant to eat (Polish and Araucana seem a bit prone to this - chirping helplessly but not eating like they should) GRATED CARROT should help them 🩷🥕 #poultry #poultryhealth #chicks #chicksofinstagram #chickhealth #hacks #poultryhacks #carrot #backyardpoultry #backyardchickens
Here is trouble… the Guinea Fowl in action. Known for their consumption of all your delicious and unwelcome bugs - particularly ticks. You just can’t look at them without smiling, saying “uh, Guinea fowl” and shaking your head #guineas #guineafowl #backyardchickens #backyardpoultry #ticks #noticks
We’re back from Facebook jail! Woo hoo! We were imprisoned erroneously 😝
All ready for some respite from the young foxes, we had this unwelcome monster - part dragon part dinosaur - a thoroughly prehistoric visitor that would gladly snack on a chicken, we’re reliably told. #farmlife #goanna #dragon #monster #dinosaur #predator #chickensofaustralia #centralcoastnsw #tastychicken #nightmare #neverleavingmyhousenow
