Here is a pic of Aubree my great granddaughter she had them taken for her 2nd birthday. The lady that took the pics said she was the best toddler she has ever taken pics of. Aubree loves to have her pic taken and poses for the camera.
She is just precious, Patty! I love the tutu and silver slippers. What fun things they have for little girls now. I'll bet she would like wearing those butterfly wings too. Enjoy her - they grow up so quickly.
I've never had a guinea who didn't absolutely hate the snow! The first winter that I had my Guineas, a neighbor's dog came and chased them in a tree about the time it started to snow. They were all around 6 months old at the time, so had never seen snow before and were scared to death! They stayed up high in the trees while the snow was falling and then refused to come down for several days since there was snow on the ground. I tried everything to get those crazy birds down! After about 2 days of this, the temp dropped to -20 with high wind and they got blown out of the trees in the middle of the night. I was out there with a flashlight rounding them up half the night. Luckily, they all survived but one of the males got frostbite on one of his wattles and it fell off. I can't even begin to count the amount of times I have lost sleep or driven myself half crazy trying to negotiate with these silly birds.....but despite that, I still love 'em! Every day is an adventure when you have Guineas!Well, it's not in the 50's in central New York. We are in the 30's and got about a foot of snow and the birds have been closed up in the barn for the past 3 days. I thought they might want to check out the snow this afternoon, but this is as far as it got - the ramp! They are going to have a LONG winter!
