We are working with the team @littleflowerssydney to solve your Christmas tree dilemma of discarding your 🎄in January!
Everyone knows what that feels like😵💫
The incredibly forward thinking sustainable team at Little Flowers will deliver your mini Christmas tree in December and then pick it back up again in January and drive it down to our farm so we can replant in nature rather than hitting the curb!
In return we are creating a thriving bio diverse green corridor protecting our creek lines and soil for years to come, sounds like the better option right⁉️💚
The chickadees so happy to be roaming around in the cooler misty breeze today. All the birds and bugs buzzing around me quite loudly in the trees as I make my way around the farm. It’s quite deafening actually but a nice kind, just the traffic of the wild💚

Cake for the chickens, yes that’s correct🎂🐓🐓🐓
This was the first time they had ever seen or tasted cake so it was a special event thanks to the lovely Julia @cookedbyjulia who uses our eggs in all her beautiful cakes.
If you feel like a giggle at my expense watch till the end and on repeat like the rest of my family have🙈

Serious chicken business going on this morning👩🏼🌾
A change in routine due to the heat building today and the caravan was feeling a bit too warm for my liking. So 2 days and they are out, it’s usually 3 but I think it’s time to get them out on grass today as there is a nice breeze and some shady spots to protect from that burning sunlight before the cooler changes comes through..
Love watching them jump out one by one🥰
Happy days on the farm💛
Nesting box training on this gorgeous day!
Our newest recruits who are excelling in egg laying from a young age🙌 are however laying a few (maybe 15 a day) ground eggs under the caravan and feeders, not in the nesting boxes.
We cannot sell these eggs so they go to waste. After watching a tutorial by @chickencaravan they suggested that we come out at egg laying time and walk around and for all those chicks that squat pick them up and place them into the nesting box. Ideally blocking off these areas too will help but I’ll try this technique firstly to see if I can alleviate those ground eggs so they learn that the nesting boxes are the best place. Consistency is the key🥚🤞
Spring Chickens🐓🐓🐓
Loving pasture raised life and bedtime in their caravan, fitted with night lights to help lead the way to slumber😴
How good are these Spring nights✨?!
Once upon a time I embarked on an egg farming life and chose a much BETTER adventure when we discovered @chickencaravan 🙌
Quite possibly the only reason why this adventure still continues as it just makes pasture raised life for the chickens and us farmers that much sweeter💚
I get asked all the time, what is a chicken caravan?!
So here you go I will show you👌
This is our 4th caravan and the idea of this one is to keep the eggs flowing all year long, no more changeovers of chickens before the new ones come as we can house our older girls for longer whilst the new ones come onto lay, for those who know, know...

High in protein and all those good fats for our chicks on a cold and windy old day!
Feels like it’s -3.4 so they say, but no snow?!
We have been feeding our girls @goterracbr as a supplement to keep them healthy and happy and laying strong and after collecting eggs today I’m pleased to report it’s working as the egg lay rate and shell quality was strong on a day you would not expect it to be so🥶❄️💨😵💫
Clearly the chicks are loving their treat time as you can see😍
Imagine a future where nature and automation work in tandem to reduce food waste and secure a food chain supply💭
@goterracbr are doing just that and we’ve jumped on board!
We tested this product a few months back and the results were amazing, we just had to work out the best logistics which we did. This supplement is giving our hens high protein which is organic, natural, sustainable and healthy for them🐓🥚🥚🥚💪💛

Monday mash quite literally😵💫
Starting the week with a massive bang💥💥💥
Much anticipated egg packaging delivery as down to last legs and then enough rain overnight just to make the ground nice and slippery. Get the cartons off (challenge in itself) and next minute truck sliding down the hill, into our fence, close to wipping out the much loved monkey bars and tractor near bogging trying to pull the truck out on the right angle.
Special thanks to @sam.demuth to quite literally saving the day for the monkey bars, truck and maybe our marriage!
Front lawn not so happy🙈
Tomorrow is a new day🤪 Farm life?!
Egg update from the farm.
I’m hoping the new girls (not so new really just a little slower) are turning a corner and I’ll be rolling around in my buggy with hundreds of eggs v soon💃
Thank you for your patience with eggs not always being on shelves, no bird flu just the slowest ever changeover time🙏
