Perth Chickens

Aaaaand the chick spam begins 😍

My girl found the best chick blanket EVER in her doll house 😂

What 6 year old doesn’t want to cuddle a chick in a techno colour fuzzy blanket?!

It’s been a looong time since my household could manage chicks again.

Capacity is everything when you decide to shepherd new life into the world and usher it through to independence, and it’s not something that should be held lightly. You have to be able and willing to emotionally navigate the spectrum of life’s experience - not only joy, wonder and excitement, but also illness, death, grief and helplessness.

For me, this past year has been about survival, and there’s been no space in me for any of life’s experiences, aside from the necessary ones.

This new batch of babies, about to pip their way out from the safety of their brittle wombs, feel like a mirror for my growing capacity to hold all of life’s complex experiences again, after a year of retreat in my own safe shell. When these babies emerge, I will be able to meet their needs and move with the waves of all the parts of the experience, without being completely overwhelmed (God willing!) and I’m feeling very grateful to feel capable again of undertaking this magical little adventure.

Stay tuned for more pics and updates as they begin to hatch!

Decided to sell my first perth-bred trio of Araucanas - these girls are the fully grown first hatch-batch after my move to Perth, and they are in amazing condition. They’re my smartest chickens by far, and their prized green eggs have been brightening up my egg basket for around 10 months now, minus the 3 months I gave them off the job over winter as we moved house 😛

It’s time to find them a forever home, and they will need to go together. If you’re interested, or know someone else who might be, feel free to like, share, tag or DM 😊
