Camden Park Chicken Farm #2

Its been a long while since i was on this propety with J. It was a last minute decision to squeeze in one more prac before uni starts and seeing as though poultry is for two days, i couldnt pass off the opportunity. Extra bonus points as it was near my house!

Camden Park Chicken farm # 2 is a propety based in Camden on the Elizabeth Macarthur Agriculture Institue. F tells us that the direct decendents of the original John and Elizabeth Macarthur, where John was the "Father of the Australian Wool Industry", lived in the mansion that we drove past.

H and F were very warming to us. Their dogs, Glennis and Lulu were lovely too of course. The days were short as the chickens were only 3/4 weeks old. There wasnt much to do except checking waters, feed hoppers and signs of "ill thrift" in the chicks. I took a fair amount of Lulu portraits because she just sat still. Shes the calmest Jack Russel ive ever met! Kinda strange really. Shes only a year old and thinks shes a working dog. I wouldnt mind having a dog like her-but then again i wouldnt mind having all the dogs ive met :p

Glennis - Shes pretty old and has some dingo in her!

On the quad bike to "The pit" with Lulu protecting us from those drasted dairy cows that grazed along the way. It had just rained two days before hence the greenery

Lots of chickens!

Lulu herding chickens better than two vet students put together

"Whatcha looking at?"

Being a dog - My other favourite one!
