Shade worshippers
Chooks evolved from forest dwellers so mine have spent most of the day hiding from the sun under the passionfruit vine. If you want to free range your chooks make sure theyve got shade. This may explain why the commercial 'free range' egg producers birds kept going inside when all they had was an open grass…

Rex Morris commented on Denise's group What To Do Today?"I planted another lot of leeks today and have another lot ready to plant out in a few days. A favourite way of cooking leeks is to cut some bacon up and start frying. Add leeks and just enough chicken stock for them to cook in. Mmmmmm."
Foragers and Gatherers

Jean Beardsall posted a blog postLooking for raw milk
I'm looking for a supply of raw milk - organic if possible. There used to be a food club here in the Far North and members were able to legally access raw organic milk through it.
