Hi everyone. Most chickens will be laying flat stick at the moment and you might get more eggs than you can handle. Here's a tip from one of my other lives as a baker:
Put your excess eggs (fresher the better) in a bowl and whisk them till the yolks are broken and mixed properly with the whites. Try not to whisk air in it. Put it in containers or plastic bags and freeze it. That way you have egg pulp that can be used for everything that doesn't require whole eggs like bacon and egg pie, quiches, biscuits, cakes and sponges. The trick is to have the yolks properly broken, otherwise they'll just be rubber balls that are hard to break up once frozen. Baking for Christmas sorted.😃 Cheers Dirk.

Pffff, things looked a bit grim over the weekend with a big run on hay and no chance to restock due to the weather. Down to the last 5 bales. And this morning the sun broke out, so we're good again.

Feeling positive and we've parked up the rain gauges, so the boys can use them again on building sites.😝
If you're thinking of having a workout in the garden, we have a good supply of pea straw at the moment but supplies will be getting tight. That's why we have also started again with medium squares ( equivalent to 12-14 bales) Way more economical if you're needing a lot. Sturdy trailer required and we can put it on.
Plenty of barley straw and Lucerne hay available.....for now. Depending on what El Nino ( Spanish for " The little boy") has in store. 😵‍💫
Adversity builds character. Coasters are good at that.😍

It's early I guess, but I can already hear frogs mating calls. Does anyone else hear them?

Bit of education here:
If you're calving or lambing or kidding..... or any mamal it's vital that the newborn gets colostrum.
All farmers and most us know that. What's also important is they're getting it in the first 24 hours. Apart from being highly nutritious, it gives newborns the immune protection they need until they build their own system. Simply speaking: the stomach has perforations that can direct the immune bits straight into the bloodstream. After that they close up.
As a child we would feast on it in early spring calving as gently heating it to about 65 degrees Celsius and then cooling it turns it into an a creamy desert.
So if you have any, I'd love to get hold of some. Not quite sure if it's legal though.🙃

As per usual this time of year, we've pruned our willows hence the twigs are all slender and straight. If you want some for weaving or planting, come help yourself at Paroa Stockfeed between Thursday and Saturday.
Cheers.

Goooood morning. Just to let you know that at Paroa Stockfeed we now also have a good supply of Red clover mix hay. $22.- a bale.
And if you have chickens, don't forget: Weston Free Range pellets with 19% protein are not only the best, but at $37.50 for 25 kg also the cheapest. And get a bag of 25kg of wheat as a combo for $66.- and your purse will thank you. Cheers Dirk. 🙂

Good evening everyone.
We'll be open Thursday and Saturday this weekend.
Cathy and Tavanna will be your hostesses then as I've, rightly, been summoned to spend a few days away with the family.
Have a great Easter. 😃

Good evening everyone. Tomorrow, Saturday 7 March, we're getting another lot of Brown Shaver chicks at Paroa Stockfeed. There's 20 spares if you still have a broody hen or have a brooder and you want some. All hens. Cheers Dirk
