Why can't they shake off from their dust baths before laying their eggs? Is that really asking so much?

Well the family is finally gone! Earlier than expected too! There was a will issue with them. My dad apparently got a family heirloom. It’s been in our family since the early 1800’s apparently. It’s a nice walking stick. Supposedly sacred. In other news I got more pics of my animals! Thanks to DB for showing me how to edit pics on my phone. Got a few guineas in the pics, a nice shot of the voluptuous Miss Piggy Sue, a pic of one of my roosters (with a curious turkey) and pics of my newly born bunnies!!!!! They are 11 days old. There are more than these, but these were the ones uncovered.

Nice pictures, Dave!

Thanks!!!! I really appreciate it. Btw my duck has started to lay eggs. She is a solo duck and has a drake (two but hop-a-long can’t mount even in the water). I want some to hatch but I have no idea if pekins go broody.

The thunder rolls and the lightening strikes Feel like I've been singing this song for a week!

Had a fair bit of that here. Mornings glorious blue sky then mid afternoon the clouds roll over the ridge with full orchestra and light show. I wouldn't mind if it chucked some rain down but it blows away down the valley.

Nice pix! A lots been happening at your place.

I'd love to hear the story behind the stick if you ever want to tell it. Did they come all the way from Germany because they wanted it? Why is it sacred? Did it all end well, or did they leave with more baggage than they came with?

Well they are cousins to my dad from one of his great uncles. They traveled all the way here because my great great uncle apparently passed away and left it to my dad as he is the oldest male in the family line. They are actually Romani and not German (gypsies) so the walking stick has been blessed and it has traveled many miles. It apparently has divination properties or something. They traveled here to deliver it and wanted to see where it was going as they have never met my dad. So it looks like I’ll get it eventually. They left happy and content and invited us to come to Germany someday.
