Cardhu appears to be working on laying an egg. Where this will go is a work in progress.

Cheeky little one

on PITA, one of the likely pullets. The gold on the left is the little cockerel, and the darkie in front is one of the undetermined chocolate chicks.

Forgot to post a Caturday. He's late to the party for obvious reasons.

The guinea birds. They mess that crate up so quickly! But hubby says they'll be in the coop tonight. As will the cochins.
Do I need to leave the door closed for a day so they know where to go to bed now?

I've not had guinea fowl, but I leave all new birds enclosed for at least 3 days. Don't know if that's needed, but it's what we've always done.

I've heard they need something like a month, but I have NO actual experience with guineas.
