Free-Range Harmony: Pasture-Raised Poultry and Rural Guardianship Russet and alabaster hens scatter across a windswept paddock in central Victoria, their feathered forms creating a living mosaic against weathered grasslands. A white guardian dog stands sentinel, its plush coat gleaming against the muted landscape, watching over the flock with unwavering attention. Nearby, a figure in a vibrant red jacket kneels among the chickens, suggesting a deep connection to the land and its inhabitants. The overcast sky casts a soft, diffused light over the scene, highlighting the organic rhythm of free-range farming where livestock roam with natural freedom. Brown and white chickens peck and wander, embodying the principles of ethical agricultural practices that prioritize animal welfare and environmental sustainability. This image captures the essence of small-scale Australian poultry farming - a delicate balance of human stewardship, animal husbandry, and the expansive, undulating landscapes of rural Victoria.
