 Nothing like an actual medal to drive away rainy melancholy of La Niña autumn 😁 🏅 Very honoured to receive Excellence medal from the Royal Agriculture Society of NSW. And what are medals for if not for bragging? #brag #medal #excellence #eggs #pasturedeggs   Excellent views, high side of the street, king-like position, looking over - but also down- onto the subordinate chicken population- what’s not to like?
Our two young apprentices, looking for a dry place after last night’s deluge, had climbed on top of the hay bales. The apprentices (the beautiful puppies named in our @hyattregencysydney collaboration) are now all living in the flocks with the chickens, and working under the ‘guidance’ of our experienced Maremmas. Notice the adult Maremma had not deemed it appropriate to clamber onto hay bales, as the young hotheads had. View may be nice, but what about dignity?

drenching me in golden mist I reached out to touch but couldn't hold." Photography by Eric --poem "Jeogla 2" by Peter Skrzynecki, post-second World War Polish immigrant to Australia, who lived in Cowra, not far from our farm. The poet and the chickens were looking at the same skies. #rainbow #pastured #pasturedeggs #farmlife #poetry  Our attempt at a rainbow Easter egg 🌈 #autumn #easter #eggs #pastured #pasturedeggs #rainbow

#rains #pasture #pasturedeggs #farmlife  From little things, big things grow.
Our youngest chickens’ tiny eggs, compared to the giant eggs we sometimes get. With the abundance of rain, we have flowers in the golden autumn light in all paddocks. Everything grows on the farm. #littlethings #grow #purpleflowers #eggs #pastured #autumn   “In the dappled sunlight and peaceful calm…
Hidden away from the harsh cruel world From all their anger and sadness unfurled” The speckled sunlight of the gum trees is the favourite place on an autumn afternoon. Half sun, half shade, adventures on branches, in leaves, with bugs and worms. #peace #dappled #sunlight #pastured #pasture #shade #chickens #shade #speckled --Poetry by mantis180 https://allpoetry.com/poem/1523756-Dappled-sunlight-by-mantis180  Is it the ‘connect’ button?
There is no mobile service the whole day today on the farm, not in the whole Boorowa region. No phone, no emails, no messages. Maybe we should have pushed the ‘start’ button on this egg? 😂😂😂 This is what happens when you give a weird egg to a farm full of software people 😃😃😃 This message has come to you because the software people couldn’t bear it anymore and drove 1.5 hours to the next tower. 😃😃😃 We hope everyone in NSW is safe. #funnyegg #weirdegg #nophone #nointernet #pasturedeggs #farmlife #reallife  And the winners are…
We now have names for the puppies, thank you to everyone who participated in our project with Hyatt Regency. For the 3 boys: Olly Cheeky Sandwich For the 6 girls: Elerinka Giggle Precious Bianca Trudy Cassandra Sending some sunshine from the farm to everyone who is missing it across NSW and QLD. #naming #puppies #winners #maremma  Trying very hard, all the while I am trying to collect the eggs and stack them.
Dear Hen, there is not even one rooster in the whole farm, so even 21 days of sitting will still not do the trick... #broody #hen #pasturedeggs #eggs #farmlife #beingsilly  Must be something adventurously attractive to go to the ‘end’, to the ‘danger zone’, to the limit of reality as known to a chicken. Exciting and dangerous!
Well, we humans also enjoy some treasure hunting adevntue too – so, got you! One more hiding place disovered… #eggs #hidden #pasturedeggs #borderzone #busted Our own Romeo, doing everything to get together with his Juliet.
Busted! One of our male Maremmas, bravely climbing the fence of his paddock, to be together with the beautiful female Maremma in the next paddock. He tried several times and finally succeeded. Love will conquer all. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! #busted #valentinesday #love #farmlife #pasture #Maremma #dogs #jumpingfences  Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy-bitsy chicken went to check for dinner #aftertherain #grass #pasturedeggs #pasture #farm #eggs  The sudden rain made me come to the house to pickup the jacket, and in the basket for keys, right next to the door, I found this chicken, preparing cosily to lay her egg today.
Dear Chicken, you have one million and one cosy caravans, one million and two hiding places in the grass, last week you took over the Massey Ferguson too, and the space under the water, and in between the hay bales. Please, leave my basket for key - for the keys. The places you will find chickens laying on this farm... #surprise #find #chicken #eggs #pastured #allovertheplace  We found eggs under our Massey Ferguson TEA-20 hood. Ever expanding the list of places chooks will lay on this farm. Never ceases to amaze.
The 'Fergie 20' has come a long way from England to our farm, it was built around 1948-1949, one of the first ones of the model. It may remember the aftermath of a World War, that tractor. But it has never before met with the fierce force of two chooks looking for a shady place to lay. 'TE-20' stands for 'Tractor, England, 20 horse power' (very creative product naming), and the Fergie we have is 'TEA-20', which possibly stands for 'Tractor, England, Australia, 20 horse power'. We suggest to rename it: TC-2, short for 'Tractor, Chickens,2 laying' #ferguson #masseyferguson #chooks #pastured #pasturedeggs #eggs #history  So many problems, so many late nights and early morning. So many complicated problems to solve.
Sometimes we just need to look up. #justlookup #justlook #pasture #summer #eggs #farm #life  Happy New Year! May 2022 bring everyone inspiration to create!
#newyear #inspiration #eggs #pasturedeggs #artpalette #art And when one cannot find the rolling pin, just use a cider can:  My favorite design this year: the Superman   The recipe is on our website: Christmas gingerbread cookies.
Merry Christmas everyone!  This guy is always ready to run with me through the paddock or dig up a hole or some other mischief, as the last rays of sunlight are reaching down warmly over the hill tops.
Ok, I’m coming! Who could say no to these hazel eyes? #mischief #play #pasture #sunset #farmlife #maremma #eggs #sunset  "Amongst the tall grass
everything is short and everything is quiet amongst these walls of forts nothing can be seen, amongst the waves of green" --from the poem "Tall Grass" by R Guildenstern  That rare, precious, cherished, irreversible moment when they dog is smaller than the chicken ! We have used these weeks to socialise the Maremma puppies with chickens, as this is a gradual process and the bond takes time and patience to built. Naturally, dogs are carnivores and predators and chickens are quite low in the food chain. #maremma #eggs #pastured #pasturedeggs #puppies #training #preciousmomentsedit.   This past week we had plenty of rain, we couldn’t even get to some paddocks for days. Glad to enjoy some silver lining in the shape of a rainbow 🌈 #rainbow #rainydays #eggs #farmingintherain
 This week certainly feels like November in the Northern hemisphere, so snow wouldn’t be surprising. It’s actually the acacia tree, sluggishly undressing its beautiful spring blossoms. The chickens love to peck them so we think you might get sweet-flavoured eggs this week. #snow #november #freerange #pastured #eggs #sweeteggs #acacia #springisending #blossoms #petals #snowinnovember
