Lovely little Lola has gallantly sat on a huge clutch of eggs this spring and successfully hatched 13 gorgeous little pure bred Belgian d'Uccle chicks. They are so tiny, we have nick named them 'popcorn chicken' while the Australorp chicks are 'Chicken Nuggets'. We snuck them into the studio today ...
Our lovely Rhode Island X Wyandotte girl Lola has done a great job of raising eleven purebred Australorp chicks. They are so cute, I had to take them to the studio for some photos before they got any bigger. None of these photos are composites, just single shots!

Fairly heavy rains upriver from us in the Blackwood Valley catchment area caused the Blackwood River to flood this year. Although we did not get any rain here, both ends of our road were closed for a few days - something that we honestly did not expect to see again ...

There is no better way to start the day than watching the sunrise at 5.51 in the morning! But it was certainly warmer later in the day! We've got a lot more cape weed growing this year, as well as more clover, rye and barley grass. In the second paddock ...
