Chickens lay well in hot weather but like all birds are very susceptible to heat stress. It may help to put their scraps in an ice cream container with water and freeze. You will need several throughout the day but it may assist in keeping them cool. Use shadecloth over their run and watch them closely. Our wire chicken wasn't harmed in the making of this post. He's safely waiting in the shop for a new owner. #adelaidehills #adelaideblitzingallrecords #adelaideheatwave #44degreespredicted #staycool #keepouranimalssafe #backyardpoultry #caringforchickens #etsyselleroninstagram #eggbasket #wirebasket #welovechickens #careforall (at Meadows, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Pk_RTh0Pl/?igshid=1djka6l9k299b

How it all began..

Hello there,  

So nice to have you stop by our homestead blog.

Have you ever dreamed about leaving the city and moving to the country to live a more self-sustaining lifestyle? Are you interested in growing your own produce and raising your own animals? If so, we have some things in common and we should be cyber friends.

My name is Geraldine and five years ago, after having our first son, my husband, Bob, and I decided that it was time to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living and find ourselves a little place in the country.

Here's a picture of our little family, from left to right, that's my husband Bob, our sons Conner and Callum, and me, Geraldine.  

We had always wanted to escape the crowded city streets and their constant noise in order to live a healthier and more self-reliant lifestyle. After much searching (and list making) we decided to settle amongst the beautiful landscape of Port Perry, Ontario, Canada. We purchased a beautiful home that originates back to 1904 and is situated on five rolling acres.

Below is a picture of our two boys taking a cruise around the property in their John Deere. To make our century home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, we added vinyl siding over the existing wood structure, all new windows (that's 38 to be precise), and a new lifetime metal roof. Since the renovations we've really noticed a difference in our gas heating and cooling bills and we're hoping to shrink them even more by switching to alternative energy sources.

Bob and I weren’t raised on farms and we weren’t really familiar with gardening, so for us becoming self-sustaining meant research, research, and more research. We knew that we wanted a garden of our own and after much research on the subject, we found the easiest instructions for beginners at The Old Farmer’s Almanac website. The site is a great tool because it tells you how to plan your garden, when to plant, how to position your plants, and so much more. For newbies, like my husband and I, it was a great resource to get us started.

Below is a peek at our garden from last summer. We were so pleased when we were able to pick our first crop of kale and cabbage - they are favorites in our house. We try to plant enough produce to keep us fed throughout the summer and winter months. Right now, in our freezer, we have five large bags full of kale that I grab from when I'm cooking stews or pastas. Freezing what we can't use immediately saves us from buying allot of expensive produce from the market.  

The Farmer’s Almanac also provided us with great information on raising chickens. Having our own chickens means that we get to skip relying on the grocery store for eggs because we are able to produce our own.

Here's a cute picture of Callum feeding our first group of chickens. We're working on his technique.

We’ve shared some of what’s been happening at our farm but we still have a long list of things to do to make us a more self-sustaining homestead, it includes: getting a dairy cow so we can produce our own milk and make our own cheese, and also to make fertilizer (yep, that’s poop), installing solar panels so that we are able to generate our own power and not rely on the utilities company, determining the best ways to capture and use rain water, and so much more. What kind of projects are you working on at your home? Do you want to share any cool projects that made your homestead more sustainable?  

If you’re interested in learning how to make your home more self-sustainable, or you just really like to see cute farm animals in action, follow our blog here on Tumblr or find me on Twitter at @fancyfarmgirlg. We would love to learn about your farm life and what you have done to be more self-sustainable.

If you have any great pictures of your animals or farm that you want to share, we love those too!  Let’s talk about all things sustainability!!

That’s all for now farm friends. We look forward to getting to know you all. Geraldine, Bob and the boys.

Magic cuisine: This Instagram account reveals what Linklaters’ lawyers have for lunch

*Salivates*

A lesser-known Linklaters social media account is lifting the lid on its exclusive in-house restaurant, ‘Silks’.

Launched last month, ‘silks_at_linklaters’ posts tantalising Instagram images of the food served to lawyers at the magic circle outfit’s London HQ.

More than just a staff canteen, Silks’ skilled chefs produce dishes that wouldn’t look out of place at a Michelin-starred restaurant — small wonder the firm won ‘Best Law Firm Canteen’ at the 2017 Legal Cheek Awards! Sit back and have a scroll through some of our favourite pics, and try to resist the urge to lick your phone screen…

This isn’t just avocado on toast. This is Chelsea Flower Show-inspired “floral adorned” avocado on toast.

We celebrate The Chelsea Flower Show with floral adorned avo on rye! #chelseaflowershow2017 #linklaters #silks #floralfood #greengoodness

Silks, named after the street in which the firm’s London office resides, regularly takes inspiration from around the world. Here’s its tapas-style tribute to Spain:

The firm — which offers around 110 City training contracts a year — recently bumped base pay for newly-qualified lawyers (NQs) by a grand, moving it from £77,500 to £78,500. Factor in performance-related bonuses, and fresh-faced associate at Linklaters could earn in excess of £90,000.

But it’s really all about the food, right?

Speckled Sussex Chicken. Our Susie is a speckled Sussex hen. “This Speckled Sussex chicken originated in the county of Sussex and is a very old English breed and recognized as a distinct breed in 1914. The Sussex is a very gentle and colorful bird. This variety of the Sussex breed makes for a good backyard chicken and dual purpose for meat or egg production. This bird is a very good layer and handles confinement well. Their speckled coloring makes them blend in with the background and camouflages them from predators such as coyotes and foxes. With each yearly molt more speckles appear so they become even more colorful the older they get.” Susie is somewhat of a loner. She likes to be near us while we work especial mowing because our movement disturbs insects and she eats quite a few. Occasionally Susie makes her way to our front porch where she pecks at our potted plants and has even laid eggs in a large container. Susie is also known for her loud squawking, usually near the house. We expect to acquire a few more speckled Sussex chickens because of their beautiful markings and interesting behavior. #chickens #poultry #chickensofinstagram #hühner #poules #gallinas #poultryofinstagram #speckledsussex #farm #farmlife #farmstead #homestead #welovechickens #chickenlife #rural #rurallife #ruralphotography (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFg1uU8FthX/?igshid=1je2mu9mtinht
