Something warm this morning on a day where the winds are quite icy. The old girls took their fair share out the front before I took it around the the masses.

Scones beat hay any day... #cows #steers #combaning #riverina

The chooks never hop on the back of the ute, but park it put the back and it's the new attraction. #farmchooks #isabrown #freerange #combaning #riverina

Like lots of places at the moment, the dams are full and the ground is saturated. So it doesn't take too much for the creeks to get running for a little bit. #creek #intermittent #combaning #riverina

I'm sure the girls would appreciate a day of sun too. No sun equals no power for us. We've had to use the genni a bit this past few weeks to top up our batteries. On the up side, everything is well watered and the dam is full again! #combaning #riverina #cloudy #offgridliving #solar #isabrowns #chickens #farmchooks #freerangechooks

A snippet of my organised chaos. Garlic, spring onions, rainbow chard, birds eyes and rocotos. I'm hoping to extend the beds in here this weekend as it's full up. #backyardveg #backyardfarming #growyourown #organicveg #chemicalfreeveg #garlic #silverbeet #combaning #riverina

Dropped off a bale of hay for the boys last night, they've been on a binge eating session since. We haven't had to give them hay since last summer. They also care not for sharing with the sheep. #cows #steers #whatgrazers #gutsaches #smallscalefarming

A bit of thyme for drying and chillies for jarring this afternoon. #thyme #herbs #chillies #jalapeño #rocoto #chemicalfreeveg #organicgardening #backyardfarming #veggarden #backyardveg #growyourown #combaning #riverina

Located one of those elusive egg stashes today. Surprised no one took the liberty of going broody really... #eggs #freerange #freerangeeggs #farmchooks #eggstash #combaning #riverina

They might be small, but there's no shortage of flavour in these honeydew melons. #honeydew #melon #fruit #homegrown #backyardfarming #backyardveg #chemicalfreeveg #organicgardening #combaning #riverina

The chickens have started hatching out over the past 24hrs. There's three so far with the fourth on it's way. #chicks #hatchling #farmchooks #poultry #freerange #twomums #combaning #riverina

I've been trying to get a pic of this chick for ages. I managed this one the other day, best I've done. I think that it's mottled pattern is a throwback to it's grandfather as he was like that. He hasn't been around for a while now. It's mum is one of a bunch that's still moulting. #chooks #farmchooks #freerange #chicks #poultry #backyardfarming #smallscalefarming #thereisgrasssomewhere #combaning #riverina

Two of our 5 Sussex roosters. I purchased 6 as days olds along with 5 austrolorps. We lucked out on both lots with only 1 hen out of the 11. That's the gamble you take though I guess. #lightsussex #freerange #roosters #farmchooks #roosterville #combaning #riverina

Pollination this past season had been a bit average to say the least. We have an apiarist that brings their hives to our place from time to time when the grey box and ironbarks are flowering. They've been over the back for a month or so now and those bees have really helped our patch out big time. Some jalapeños has turned into a bucket load. I suggested last night that we should have a hive of our own, which I've always wanted to do anyway.... But I'll have to keep working on that one. #backyardveg #bees #pollinators #jalapenos #backyardfarming #savethebees
