I was given a pair of guinea fowl this morning, and flighty, nervous little things they are too. I agreed to take them as they are supposed to be an excellent early warning system against foxes and the like as they will shrilly call out when a predator is seen.After feeding and watering these two, I let them out of the nursery run, and they promptly legged it into the hawthorn hedge that borders the field. Time will tell if they decide to stay or not
The young pullets I was given yesterday are still going through their initiation with the other more benign hens in their run, and minor skirmishes are the order of the day. Jill and Ruth (above) have spent most of the day hiding, and the pretty Lillian (below) only seems to come out when I am around to "protect" her. It will take a few more days for the new flock of 7 to gel properly
I am working tomorrow on a long day, so the rest of the afternoon I have cleaned out Kate Winslet and her chicks' run and and sorted out Blanche's broody box while Chris has made a HUGE show of cleaning the kitchen.......why is it dear reader ? ( and PLEASE SEND ME ANSWERS ON A POSTCARD PLEASE) when some men complete a job that their spouses are usually responsible for, do they need CONSTANT, AND NEVER ENDING PRAISE after it has been completed?............perhaps it it one of those unanswerable questions that all relationships experience.
Apart form this hiccup..it's been a nice day
Quite the menagerie you have there! Looks like a bit 'o heavan in Wales.

ReplyDeleteBecause it’s finally done properly
Sounds like you've got some interesting critters on your hands... with some cool names. :)
ReplyDeleteNice looking Guineas. I sold some hens this weekend at the flea market. Had to get rid of a few. Not sure I'd wanna take on the guineas, though. I still need to rid myself of some roosters.
