morning guys! ticks haven't been an issue here, the 6 guineas seem to be doing their job, a couple here and there when the dogs come in from running. we lost our older dog yesterday- he was a dump dog 12 years ago and age had caught up with him, blind and senile, but a good guy

 

little gertie the crossbeak just isn't doing well at all, trying to get food into him is a tough one-

 

Matt, ill be giving the eggs to sooner tonite for you, hope you have a good hatch

 

Joe- get a load of the color on this boy!

Tryin to be patient-- I know every hatch turns out different, but seriously! We have about 4 dz eggs that still havent hatched, today is hatch day..... Not the norm by far! I wxpected to wake to a hatcher full. I am blaming it on all this crazy rain. The humidity has been crazy! I will give them until tomorrow...... So sad they haven't hatched yet.

Worked yesterday on getting stuff gathered for poops. Brining a jar of zucchini relish since we are having hotdogs! Also gathered raffle items, don't think I can bring any seedlings safely with the girls brining friends. We are at maximum capacity in the van. I will bring some free range guinea eggs & EE for the raffle, along with the decorative tiles & plates.

 

That's a GOOD thing.  Had one like that till someone stole her. Don't discorrage her from it and she will chase off any bird of prey as well. Never had a chicken hawlk problem when mine was around.

 

You are that chicks moma and she knows you'll protect her.

Here's wishing you a big  from the Okie side.

it can't get here near soon enough for me. work is making me crazy!

You are crazy man, don't blame it on work!     

I live in the country with cows on two sides & goats on the other, I'm not having trouble with ticks.......I guess it would be my free range chickens.  I don't like guinea's, they are just too noisy for me.
