Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

On Banty's side...so was Jack the ripper...he never got caught either..

Oh there you are!

"Enjoy" your calendar Ralphie. (I know you'll hardly be able to wait for August now)

Guineas have some redeeming qualities though..

Like being the only things awfuler than you?

They'll definitely push the boundaries and some ARE worse than others...but they'll only harass the birds that give in and run. No different than people. Be strong and confident...and everything'll be fine. Key is to give the confidence to the chickens by always allowing them to learn a pen first. Guineas are incredibly smart!

Then the guineas are ferociously attached to the original flock and will murder new birds. Been there, done that.

August is a month of terrible heat, and this year, of terrible poultry. I'm unsure which is worse.

You're not supposed to get new birds.

You're not supposed to get new birds.

They didn't even like chicks in the flock from day 1 with broodies. Miserable beasts.

Ha... I don't even want to know how many birds I've bought/hatched this year. I'd have to smash the incubator.

So we're gonna go there? So it's gonna be like that?

That's ok. You side with Ralphie all you want.

This is the sole place where we agree: guineas and hot weather are both awful.

August heat is unbearable.....No doubt about it...

I would still have guineas if I did not have neighbors with chickens and did not like visiting guineas. When I told them they were eating wood ticks they liked the guineas a lot better... BUT with their sloppy chicken habits I cannot let my guineas brings a disease back to my flock.

Guineas are one poultry that does not belong in a cage.

Hey, you're the one that calls them drug dealers and muggers.
