All the chook sheds, pens and boxes were cleaned today. The first hatch brown shed babies had their first day out in the green shed run.  After their initial hesitation they loved the grass and chasing bugs.  I added a barrow load of compost to the raspberry beds and some pots/boxes today.  The OEG hen hatched three belgian babies on Wed 6th Oct.  Another one hatched in the incubator and was successfully placed under the hen.  The babies in the box are oeg and belgian blue 2 weeks old.  We had 30 ml of rain this week. The vegies have grown well with the rain.
