I used the feed I feed them. It was easy since he only stays at one tree all day.

I have 6 guinea eggs due to hatch early december. Along with 5 call duck eggs.

I seen 2 Lavendars and a Pearl, Buck-Wheating tonight.

I hope there's more than that! Surely there HAS to be! hmm

I have seven and two actively buckwheat.  But I know there is a third....  Shes a pearl and she is HUGE....  Mine are very quiet Guineas.  Surprising isnt it.
It may just mean you have one or more that are keeping mum because there are dominant females in there.

deb always learning

 

I don't have help at my place except the goats....  Well um they are just company you cant turn your back on.... more like hyper active neighbor kids coming to see what your doing..... Well they aren't much help at all.... Oh well.

Ooo! Now that makes sense!
If I can get to the store and see if they have different colors of zip ties. I'll try to see if I can't sex them all. (Put one bird in a cage and see if it Buck-Wheats or Chi-Chi's.)
