Given that "organic" means made up of Carbon (together with it's mates Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur and Phosphorus), it's semi-hilarious that folks sell a lot of organic produce around the place. In other words, they sell everything. It's only semi-hilarious because the education system seems to be broken when people tell you that an apple is organic with a straight face - we're like "Duh!". Even the dictionaries have fallen for what is essentially a triumph of marketing over Chemistry. Well, who needs Chemistry...
Anyhoo, we now have organic chickens (made out of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen). First we had no chickens for such a long time, and then a sudden glut; four "point of lay" Hyline Brown girls, and then four stupidly cute Barnevelders of indeterminate gender. Oskar is very very keen to either meet or eat them - we're not sure so we are keeping him away, but he does love "chicken tv" which consists of staring so hard at them they may end up hypnotised.
The girls are Ruby (top girl and a great fan of Takeo Ischi), Valery (who likes to go to raves), Portia (who is more of a traditionalist) and finally Lenya (who is famous in a well known chickumentary - can you spot her?).
We had another fine day in the garden today, and we can even see some green stuff (which we are eating tonight). Pretty cool! Also, the sheep are several kilos lighter - two shearers named Corey and Corey came along to divest them of their organic fleece and take our inorganic money at the same time. Not a bad transaction - well done Coreys!
