🥚🧺JUST LOOK AT THAT EGG BASKET!🧺🥚

One of our favourite things about keeping such a beautiful mix of chickens is never knowing exactly what colours we’ll find waiting for us each day. 🤎🌿

Our egg basket is currently filling up with a gorgeous rainbow of blue, green, crisp white, creamy tones, beautiful browns… and even a couple of pretty speckled eggs! 💙💚🤍🤎✨

No two collections ever seem quite the same, and we absolutely love it. From our hens to the basket — nature really does create the prettiest colour palette. 🐔🥰

Just another little reason we love our feathered family 🌾

🐣🧀 WELCOME TO OUR 12 NEW CHEESEBALLS! 🧀🐣

Our latest little arrivals are here — 12 gorgeous Buff Orpington chicks! 💛🐥

With their golden-yellow fluff, round little bodies and ridiculously sweet faces, we can’t help but call them our tiny cheeseballs. 😂

And the incubator had a few more surprises for us… we also welcomed 3 beautiful Coronation Sussex chicks! 👑🐣🤍

That’s 15 new fluffy babies joining the Spinifex family! 🥰

They’re already busy eating, sleeping, cheeping and piling on top of each other, while we’re busy admiring all those adorable little faces.

We can’t wait to watch our cheeseballs and Coronation babies grow! 🌾🤎

🐣🤎 MEET THE CHICKS — OLDEST TO YOUNGEST! 🤎🐣

Our little chick family just keeps growing! 🌾 From our biggest feathered babies right down to our newest tiny fluff balls, it’s amazing to see how quickly they change.

Some are already looking very grown up, while our youngest are still mastering the important things in life… eat, sleep, cheep, repeat! 😂🤎

Here they are — our 2026 chicks, oldest to youngest! 🥰

🐣🤎 Forget puppy piles… look at this CHICK PILE! 🤎🐣

Seriously, could they get any cuter?! 🥹

There’s nothing sweeter than seeing our little fluffy babies all snuggled up together in one adorable pile. Tiny wings, fluffy bottoms and sleepy little faces — cuteness overload! 🐥🐥🐥

Life at Spinifex Heritage Hens & Hatchery is pretty fluffy at the moment… and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 🌾🤎

🐔🌿 CLEANING DAY AT SPINIFEX HERITAGE HENS & HATCHERY 🌿🐔

Nothing beats that fresh-coop feeling! 🧹✨

Today was all about giving everyone a good clean-up and reset — tidy runs and happy hens! 🐓🤎

Of course, the girls were well rewarded for supervising our hard work with plenty of fresh leafy snacks 🥬🌿, while some of the flock enjoyed a little free-ranging time, scratching through the grass, exploring and soaking up the afternoon. ☀️🐔

There’s something so satisfying about finishing cleaning day and seeing everyone happily scratching around in their fresh homes. 🤍

Fresh coops, full bellies & happy chickens! 🐣🌿✨

🌸🐔 Beautiful Brahmas 🐔🌸

Our gorgeous Brahmas have found the perfect shady spot beneath the bougainvillea while enjoying some free-ranging time. 🌿☀️

Nothing makes them happier than a peaceful afternoon of scratching, exploring and relaxing in the garden. 🤎

🐣🤎 LOOK AT THOSE SWEET LITTLE FLUFFY FACES! 🤎🐣

Our little Spinifex family is certainly growing! 🌾 We currently have 16 gorgeous chicks under 4 weeks old:

🐥 1 Speckled Sussex
🪻 1 Lavender Sussex
👑 4 Coronation Sussex
🐣 4 Cream Legbar
🖤 6 Cream Legbar × Minorca

And then we have our 3 slightly bigger babies, over a month old:

~ 1 Chocolate Orpington
~ 2 Speckled Sussex

That brings us to a grand total of 19 beautiful babies hatched this year so far! 🥰🐥

And we’re not finished yet… 👀

Another 5 eggs are heading into lockdown this week, PLUS we have two more full incubators quietly working away! 🤞🐣

There’s something so special about watching each tiny chick hatch and then seeing their colours, feathers and personalities develop. We can’t wait to see who joins the Spinifex family next! 🤎🌾

There's nothing quite like the excitement of hatch day—watching tiny beaks pip through their shells and seeing fluffy little chicks take their very first steps. Every hatch is a reminder of why we love what we do 🐥

We’re very excited about our newest little hatchlings at Spinifex Heritage Hens & Hatchery! 🤎🌿

From 7 eggs placed in the incubator, 6 gorgeous chicks hatched — a fantastic result from our beautiful Cream Legbar rooster × Minorca hens.

Our colourful little bunch includes:
🐥 3 black & white chicks
🐥 2 brown & black chicks
🐥 1 brown chick

It’s so exciting to see the variety produced from this cross, and we can’t wait to watch their colours, markings and personalities develop as they grow. 🖤🤎🤍

For now, they’re busy doing what baby chicks do best — eating, sleeping, chirping and being ridiculously cute! 🥰🌾🐣
