    R.I.P Rufus the Guinea

    After 10 years, Rufus the guinea, died yesterday, I assume of a heart attack, while doing what he loved best; chasing the heck out of the flock. One minute he was flying through the air, running folks away from their food, with me chiding him for making Splash Gordon, the EE roo, cry. Next...

    It's already sweltering here, and I had frozen too many eggs without shells for baking, to close the freezer lid.

I would like to be one of those women on U-Tube, who hurls them around by the tail, but I'm not there yet. They're often longer than me, so I imagine the front part turning around toward me and wrapping...

    Crows! I never suspected the egg bandits!

    If your chicken house, and surrounding yard has eggs strewed all over, including fake ones, with some left whole, and some missing or broken, crows may be your villian. I was thinking that it's time for the blacksnakes to start robbing, but they wouldn't do this. Nor the coons, possums...
