The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple. ~Doris Janzen Longacre

Hey the chookies are big girls now... almost


Bet ya haven't seen this road sign before!



Harry and the Matildas have done well! The chicks are nearly all grown up now and it looks like I can safely say we don't have any roosters "Yet". The new little pullets have not started laying yet, can't wait for that day. You will see the sign out the front "Eggs for Sale" ... Jumbo sized eggs.



This is the favorite spot for them to get a drink when they free rangeing.

Egg production is done a bit atm, but won't be long and the girls will start popping them out again, just ya wait and see. Should be just over a dozen eggs a day!
