Feather’nDown Homestead

We will be CLOSED this weekend but aim to be back up and running next weekend and will open up some extra slots over the school holidays coming up.

We have been pretty busy despite the winter setting in. We've been rained on (but can always be worse) We've been sick, and have been injured😅 Also celebrated Ravens birthday at the zoo and got some more inspiration for building our dinosaurs.

Hope to see you soon.

Releasing our Guinea fowl!!!
Our guinea fowl have finally come to the age of being released onto our property. We were gonna get them set up in the gardens but lost time to do so. Now fingers crossed they stay on the property!

Geese of to their new home today.

Geese can be a great addition to the homestead to help mow orchards and fertilise at the same time. However, if you have a young orchard you must protect those trees because they will ring bark them using the trunks to sharpen their teeth. (Don’t ask me how I know😅)
