The face of a little chicken that says, "hey lady, I'm over this medication and foot treatment!"

She is a big girl and has stretched webs between her toes that fill with mud and other things and need to be cleaned out regularly. She had a small stone in one this time that caused a break in the skin and given the mucky ground she walks on she has been started on antibiotics and her foot dressed and bandaged until healed. She's not a happy hen right now!!

An amazing group of volunteers worked long and hard in the sun this morning, clearing the trench of stones, filling with sand (4 tonnes) to safely lay cables for water and electricity to each pen and aerators to the ponds! Thank you Connie's Crew!!!

Robbie & Ulla our beautiful volunteers/members have been working tirelessly since we got the new property. They have been fencing for weeks and now for the last couple of weeks have been laying cables to bring power and water to each pen ❀🦘πŸͺΏπŸ¦ƒπŸ“πŸ₯πŸ¦† and all of us and the animals are so very grateful for the hours and hours and hours they are putting in to get the infrastructure in place so that the animals have the best, safest, most comfortable, and healthy lives. 300m of trenching, 200m done, 100m to go!! And a huge milestone today...water!! A test today to check pressure and fill the new pipes before fitting fully, but oh lordy doesn't that water look fine! And amongst all of that, rescuing abandoned/dumped ducklings πŸ₯❀ thank you both from all of Connie's Coop peeps ❀❀❀

Roofing sheets going up on Coop 1 in the boys area! Getting so close to moving the bachelor flock over!!

Prepping for the fencing for the girls' area!! So excited to be getting started on it. Had to move some plants, we will replant them back in a bit from the fence.

Fencing continues. We have 70 2.4m star pickets to hammer into the ground...too many. So we hired a petrol driver...too heavy to lift!!

Look at this set up β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’› winch lifts it up so we position it, and it doesn't all the work. 20 star picket done in less than 30 minutes!! Toni's idea and Darryl's handy work 😁

Big BIG thank you to the volunteers who helped with the weekly clean up for our intake pens and gardens! They are little critters but they are mucky!! 🀣
Before and after collages. It stayed this neat and tidy for at least 10 minutes 🀣🀣🀣 but it stayed clean much longer. Feeders and nesting boxes all cleaned and disinfected with F10, all p**p, feathers, and spilt food cleared, and gardens cleaned of feathers. Every surface dusted and wiped down. Huge job, it took 3 of us about 2 hrs so to have help is amazing! It will take less time each week as we get into the routine in these new pens ❀️

We have some very special volunteers who will do the work that needs doing to improve the life of the animals at Connie's Coop like fencing, clipping, cleaning, building etc where no direct animal time is included but the work is vitally needed. Their reward is seeing the animals enjoy the fruits of their labour ❀️ forever grateful ❀️

These two mums and adopted babies needed the outdoor garden area fenced with a finer mesh fence so the babies could go out. Volunteers sat and clipped the fencing mesh so mums and babies could enjoy the garden and some sunshine β™‘

Baby chicken was surrendered to us as she was found in someone's yard and the little duck was rejected by her mum and brought to us πŸ£πŸ¦†

β™‘β™‘β™‘ We are very lucky to have such a diverse skill set amongst our volunteers. It means we have a lot of projects on the go. One of them is the rooster/turkey boys' area. We are building coops x 3 so they have choices on where to hang out and who to hang out with. Coop number one has the frame and a lot of the metal work done and coop number two frame work is going up now.

Lots of cans of lemonade since it is very hot in the day still, but ever grateful that we are doing this in winter and not the summer heat!!
