Nothing better then a sunny Sunday

CRUNCH TIME.... 🍎
Is there anything better then a crisp, crunchy apple? Comet doesn't think so, apples are one of her favorites!

A little snippet of one of the many daily chores we do around here... multiple containers of sprouts for the animals all at different stages.
BUT... we only ever do the best of the best for the animals in our care and what better way to add supplements to their diet then to sprout it yourself?
All for the animals

DIRT BATHES
To the general public it really doesn't seem like much...
For the hens and for us it means the world...
It means these newly rescued hens are exploring, having freedom and learning new aspects to life.
We have a area that's rather large and designated purely for hens to dirt/dust bath. In the below video you can see one hen who is taking full advantage of this new experience and of course it's all loose so she can flap and roll as much as she wants.
This is pure happiness.
We currently have 155 newly rescued hens here until they head to their homes on Saturday morning and it's an absolute joy to watch.
HOWEVER every rescue comes with rehab hens! And we have a fair few who require extra care, isolation and ALOT of tlc. So we need your HELP!
We are running a raffle that closes in 7 days!!! We have just over 100 tickets left to sell. You can have a look at our page to see the 3 amazing prizes up for grabs! And tickets are a small $3 each. So please if you can support what we do and purchase a ticket or few.

Here at the rescue anything that's come out of animal shelters generally goes into the garden as a way of composting but also providing the garden nutrients in a eco way.....
Well Bubbles and Cherry wouldn't have a bar of it and before I could get it out into the garden, they were right into it spreading it around looking for worms!
Safe to say they were happy chooks but me.... not so impressed for the gardens sake 🤣
