Love is in the Air

And in the paddock on the farm.  Our Ram "Neil", has just been returned to all his girlfriends this week, and was very pleased to see them, and to be honest they seemed quite excited to see him too!   So love is in the air, and before we know it there will be babies on the farm again.

Last years lambs are looking to go to sale very soon, and they are looking good, all the rain we have had this summer has certainly made for excellent grass growth and excellent lamb growth!

The chickens are growing fast, we've been collecting them some sand from beach as it is full of Sand Hoppers and they love it!  I think this has multiple benefits as it also adds some sand to the base of the run, there are little shells for calcium and sand for their gizzards, protein from the sand hoppers and fun from hunting them!  And fun for us watching too!
They are very friendly and happy climb over me when I am sitting in the run with them, they love it when I scratch up the hay for them, or turn over the pieces of wood so they can scratch up all the goodies underneath.
Hopefully it wont be long before we can let them out to free range, just waiting for them to get a little bigger so as our wee moggies won't be keen for some chicken nibbles.

In other news, this was a very timely quote for me to read today

Yes Yes Yes!
