Sometime last year I saw a Guinnea in among a bunch of wild pigeons and had no idea what it was. Very pretty (in its own way) bird. I keep on the lookout for it every time I pass by that flock but I only saw it for a couple of days. I'm learning so much looking at you guys collections of birds. Making me wish I had the kind of farm space you must have.

Another pen & road trip ???

I'm always up for a road trip especially if chickens and/or eggs are involved!

My best friend lives on the border of Placerville. They moved from one house on their property to another one and now live in Camino. I am in the planning stages of a quick one day trip on Sunday to Placerville/Camino then to Pilot Hill to pick up some black Langshans from DirtFarmer. I sure wish that those dark eggs were from your current breeding stock, Jason, and that you had them available for sale! I already have one Spanish breed that I love and I am thinking that I need another.

There is a flock of them that live right on Lone Tree not far from the freeway entrance (the older section of Lone Tree not the bypass entrance). We see them sitting on the fence and roof right by the sidewalk. We've counted at least 7 of them. I wonder how their neighbors feel about them?

Coming home I pass by there almost every day. Though I'm coming from A street and going east bound so I probably haven't noticed them.

The one I saw was all the way down town at the corner of Wilbur and A street. I see the wild turkeys most often they are everywhere.

If you find a nest, snag some egg and hatch them!

They hatch just like Chicken eggs.

If you are coming from A Street on to Lone Tree (why did they have to give 2 names to the same street?!), look to your left right before that 3 way stop light. (It's the light with the dentist office to the right and it's the one before the light that you turn to go to the post office or into the shopping center with Silvia's.) We don't see them every time we go that way but we have seen them 2 or 3 times in the past couple of months.

I usually get on the freeway at that point to go down to hillcrest going home but I can go up the one light and take the frontage road. (E. Tragelleas sp.)


I'm not at the hatching stage of anything yet but you never know.

They are actually 28 days incubation, but Ron's right - they are very easy to hatch. Karen may have some eggs, my flock moved in with her

Yes!

like chickens but take as long as Turkey!

Cute little things and the eggs they lay are very tasty.

I'm sure that you will get to the hatching stage sooner rather than later especially if you hang out here with the rest of us hatchaholics!!!
