Blue Tractor Farm Pastured Eggs

08/07/2024

The last day with my girls tomorrow. Then they are are all tucked in over at bills farm in Nannup.

The girls have a great new home and a team of people to bring you paddock to plate service.

After many years running around after chooks, happily and successfully mind you. But time to hand the reigns over.

This has happened. Number two big Bertha has left the building. This is Ross the new owner of Blue Tractor Farm Pastured Eggs.

27/06/2024

We are underway, the old girls caravan is ready to go to the new owners. Ross Nunn from Nannup is the new owner. Bill and Jan will be the Chook wranglers.

Mickey is not too sure what’s going on.

Trucks are here and moving things away.
Next week one lot of chooks will move to their new pasture which Bill has sown with perennial pasture - a restorative and regenerative solution for the land.

Australia is currently in the midst of the worst outbreak of bird flu. Commercial egg producers are asking everyone to ensure strict biosecurity measures are in place to prevent the spread. As many of you know I’m a commercial pastured egg producer. Here are some things you can do to help prevent the spread of bird flu:

Regularly clean your chicken coop including feeders, drinkers and equipment.
Frequently replace nesting materials.
Always wash your hands with warm water and soap after handling birds, eggs or other materials in the coop.
Try to avoid contact between chicken and wild birds, rodents or pets.
Your birds should drink the same water as you — clean of any droppings or animal waste.
If you are selling or giving away eggs, use new cartons if possible or keep reused cartons clean and away from birds.
Avoid going into friends chicken coups and change your shoes if you do to avoid the spread on your shoes.

The spread of bird flu is higher in backyard chickens than commercial farms as many ppl don’t have biosecurity measures in place.
Thanks Belinda

I don’t post very often but today I have posted twice. Some photos of the farm. Little bit of green but so so dry everywhere as we all know.

Over the next 6 months Coles and Woolies are phasing out of caged eggs. There won’t be enough eggs until the big caged egg growers in QLD convert their caged eggs to barn eggs. This will create more demand than supply which will push up eggs prices. Might be a good time to get some chooks. Be warned the price of eggs will go up over the next 6 months.

The grain stockists will jump on board and feed prices will go up. The price of birds will go up n so the farmer wont gain. It’s all nonsense really and being driven by the big caged egg farmers that need to convert their infrastructure over.

So great that caged eggs are on their way out. Pity it’s gonna come with a price egg war and farmers and consumers will pay the price. Once again big companies pushing prices up. I support food being grown sustainably by farming families not Companies.

Food for thought. X

I’m at the 2023 Regenerative Agriculture Conference. A room of about 500 people, some growers all with a passion for growing food and growing soils. The energy is electric as some of WA’s most innovative, thoughtful and clever people share their stories about how our connection and respect for country is tasted in the food we grow. Also about how eaters in the city can taste the difference between food that is grown in soil that is regenerating and food that is grown in soil that is degrading. Oh and look who I got to meet at the conference ??

Being a regenerative farmer includes providing habitat for wildlife and sharing my space with the animals that live here.

I’ve recently been putting up nest boxes for possums, birds and phascogales. These boxes will hopefully provide refuge for these animals from foxes.

With the bush being scorched by the fires in January these nest boxes will provide a home for the wildlife that are under constant pressure for fresh water, safe nesting sites from foxes and other predators.

Some nest boxes holes face the trunk of the tree such as possum and phascogale nest boxes and some face outwards for ducks or galahs.

This is just the beginning for me. I’d like to have lots of these all over the farm so that all the possums and phascogales and birds can live here at the Blue Tractor Farm.

Next steps is to put up some cameras to monitor who is using the boxes.
To learn more or to purchase nest boxes to put up in your garden or farm contact

THANKS to ABCTV and Wild Pacific Media's recent (and truly amazing!) wildlife documentary Australia's Wild Odyssey, we were privileged to be able to appear in this 'how to' video!

People often ask how I’m doing and if I’ve recovered from the fires. The black charred, burnt paddocks are turning green. A new batch of 500 chooks arrived and in two months when they are on the lay I will be back to my normal egg production. Apologies for you having to twist your head 90 degrees to see the video

07/05/2023

And here’s some more as apparantly Facebook won’t allow me to post a video and photos in the same post.

17/04/2023

Seems I have to post the three videos separately. Here’s the second video mixing the seed and adding seed primer and worm juice.

17/04/2023

I really should share more details of my farm journey on my page. By the time I put posts on my personal page and other group pages this one gets forgotten.
There’s actually so much to share with the bushfires and now recovery after the bushfires.
Boundary fences have been rebuilt (after 2 months of hard yakka) and im now taking advantage of having w**d free paddocks and an ash bed full of potassium. My vision is to try and replace annual w**ds with perennial pasture, where I can. I’m only doing a small area of the farm ( about 15 acres) as that’s all I can start. I need to ensure I have enough land to graze the chooks on as I need to leave the chooks off the new pasture for at least 12 months till it gets established.
Anyway here’s some videos of planting the pasture over the weekend. Fingers crossed it grows 🙂

Thankyou to Elders Elders Real Estate Donnybrook for supporting me and the girls that produce these wonderful eggs.

Thankyou for helping ease the pain a little. This will help keep the farm going as we rebuild after the fire. Many thanks x

Hello, this is Fiona. Sister to Belinda. Owner, Farmer, Business Woman, An… Fiona Klein needs your support for Fire Disaster @ Blue Tractor Pastured Egg Farm

18/01/2023

It hasn’t been a great start to the year for me. We have been fighting fires here for over 10 days now. It’s been horrendous. The fires started from lightening during that massive lightening storm we had.
My house was saved thanks to two local guys that are part of the local brigade.
About 150-200 chooks died in the fire including 50 that I’m nursing.
The first fire took out my back paddock and hit my neighbours behind me badly. It wasn’t too bad for me and terrible for them. The fires were still going all around us and we were all very worried that embers with the right winds would start another fire. And it did, three days after the first fire the second came roaring through.
Many people have been hit by these fires. We are all devastated, shocked and tired and exhausted.
My business has been set back about 20 per cent and I now have to rebuild that somehow. Most boundary fences are gone. All the chook electric fences burnt but luckily the fire went straight through both chicken caravans without them burning down.

I can’t reply to everyone as there is so much going on and still putting out small spitfires amongst everything.

Howdy,

Autumn is ending and Winter begins.
I’m in recovery after surgery that will help keep me active and mobile. With some time off from work I was able to go for a walk and soak up the serenity.

It was a lovely reminder that in amongst our busy lives there are all these amazing things going on in nature around us like.....mushies bursting through the earths surface.....ants busily collecting seeds and food before the rains arrive....trees growing every second to built forests....and seedlings popping up after waiting years for the conditions to be right.

My ambition in life is as clear to me now as it was 40 years ago...to restore a piece of the land for the future and to leave it in better condition than how I started.

Namaste 🙏
