While Farm Girl hits the books in earnest,

sometimes requiring a bit of input from someone who’s been there, done that,

The Bean Counter edges the back paddock – a good fire precaution,

before lending me a helping hand with the makeshift sleep out garden fence,

and Little Olive tends her new family. There’s 13, we think – they’re hard to count! That’s double the current coop population which means more walking-the-walk features strong in our future.
Saturday on the Homestead; it’s all go.


I am impressed by the lawn mowing.
It’s very satisfying and makes the paddock look both tidy and productive
Ahhhhh, the pitter patter of tiny feet and the associated chirping! More reasons to mess about and make the most of chickens.
They’re great time wasters. I spend too much of my day just watching them
