The Christmas Hatch had their photos taken yesterday for a feature article in the next edition of Green Magazine (http://www.greenmagazine.com.au/).
It's a great magazine focused on sustainable architecture and garden design -- no massive McMansions, just well thought out living spaces that are both beautiful and functional based on sustainability principles.
Last month's had the best information I've ever seen complied comparing different composting models & style of worms farms; this month it compares different types of mulch and applications they're most suited to.
I'd love to hear about any chook coops you know of that have been built using sustainable materials or design principles.
Miss Lilly is still sitting, here's a quick spy into her nest while she was having a drink. I can count 19 eggs -- very ambitious.
Angelina's chicks are still being very studious standing in lines waiting for their turn. She is a wonderful mother, very fair in making sure everyone gets a turn and a treat.
And for those who asked, NQR is doing OK. Here he is sunning himself. That patch of sun on the nursery floor is prime real estate so he's clearly holding his own. See how much smaller he is beside his mate?
How cute is that friend? It looks like a penguin.
I don't know why I always refer to NQR as 'he', it may well grow into a lovely little pullet.
If you want top place an expression of interest for a mini flock from this hatching the details are on http://www.chooknet.com.au/ in the 'Victoria' listings, but if are are interstate I'm sure we can make travel arrangements, we've done it before.
