I think it is the Guinea eggs that are tempting Peggy. I did let the Iowa Blues out of their cage and in with the rest of the flock until their breeding pen is done. So that is more for the mix.

Just in case anybody (Peggy) claims these, I started putting the eggs in cartons instead of the incubator. Today I collected 1 EE egg, 1 Splash egg, and one Guinea egg (Peggy). This way I could ship out ASAP. I will put them in a carton to go in my incubator when they are 3 days old so you will get fresh eggs.Once I go back to school (I'm a teacher and go back Aug 17) eggs wil only be collected once a day. Right now I collect at least 3 times a day or when I hear the hens sing their "I laid and egg" song.

They went out today. I will get you the DC # after milking. 4 Guinea, 3 Splash, 2 EE. I waited as long as I could to send you as many eggs as possible. Good thing I did. I got an extra Splash and Guinea by waiting. Keep the Guineas and let them free range. They take care of snakes and ticks.
