There is plenty of rain on the farm the rainwater tank is overflowing and there are also muddy areas in the chook pens !!
Its rather cold, the fire is cranked up but there is work to be done in the barnyard, we will dodge the rain this arvo and complete a maintenance check on the chook pens as there is more weather due this weekend ✔️

Check the hen house for leaks or holes and fix as necessary.....
Maintain adequate ventilation but no direct wind channels... shade cloth/tin is helpful to stop direct wind into the hen house
Make sure there’s plenty of clean, fresh bedding material
Keep the hen house clean and as dry as possible – wet litter build-up can cause elevated smells...
Ensure drinkers are in good order and off the floor
Reduce mud around the coop and in high traffic areas (you can throw down some woodchips as a temporary solution)....

Your feathered friends should weather well they have feather coverage to keep them warm, you may see them put their heads into their wings, this is normal behaviour as they protect their combs in extreme weather conditions...
In heavy downpours, check your feathered friends are sheltered 🌧

Lovin' local 🤣 Snags and gags !

📜Legend of a Miracle Snag📜
~ a true farm tale….

So a bloke walks into the butcher and says,
“Mate, I need the best sausages you’ve got. The kind that’ll win over my in-laws, fix my tractor, and maybe even get the dog to listen to me for once.”

The butcher leans on the counter, wipes his hands on his apron, and says,
“Son, you’re not after sausages — you’re after a miracle.”

But he goes out back, and after a bit of banging around in the cool room and maybe some quiet prayer, he comes back with a pack. No label. No price tag. Just a knowing nod.

“These,” he says, “are the snags my grandfather made when the crops failed, the cows broke out, and Nana ran off with the bloke from the hardware store.
He cooked these up, fed the neighbours, and by sundown, the cows were back, the rain came in, and Nana changed her mind.”

The bloke takes them home and cooks them up. The following morning, the in-laws are smiling, the tractor starts first go, and the dog’s sitting by the door with a newspaper.

Moral of the story?
Never underestimate a good sausage ❤️😉

(Disclaimer: Mostly true. May have been some embellishment. Definitely happened somewhere between the paddock and the frypan 🍳🐑🍃

Come see us for all your winter sausage requirements! We also love a good jokes so bring us your best 😝🙏

Ever so slowly they will resume egg laying and recovery from moulting, chooks health will benefit from adding food in the afternoons to give extra energy this supports your chooks to keep warm through the cold nights, cracked corn & oats makes a top addition to your chooks feed 🐔

Please check on your chooks with the extremely cold weather we are experiencing 👍
