I have a really mixed flock of hens some are purebreds and others are our own cross breeds. I'm rather fond of crossbred animals because I think on many occasions a mongrel can be better than a pure. These chicks are our latest natural hatchling survivors and the plan is to eat the boys and keep the girls.

The further you get away from the city the more kangaroos you do see and in some places kangaroo numbers can get so high that they eat themselves out of food and can starve particularly in droughts. I've seen thousands of kangaroos in the wild but I never get tired of watching and admiring this fantastic animal.
