Ahhh...I'm sorry to hear that.No, no sign of her.
I think the owls got her. I've been hearing a lot of them at night.
I do still have my other four guineas though.
I'm glad to hear that Winnie did well.

Ok, was it Pam or Ron? The running and screaming is what the future would look like at our house. I'm not sure which of my boys it would be...probably the older one who is ever so slightly afraid of the chickens. He will pick them up if I ask him to, but always holds them out and away from his body like they are a dirty diaper. So, I see my oldest as the one that would run around screaming (while trying to look manly) and calling for is MOOOMMMMMM!!! My youngest would make sure he was out of the way of the rooster, and then laugh. The youngest would then feel the need to share what he saw with all of his brother's friends at school, which would spell "certain death" for the youngest. I've had boys long enough, I know just how this would go down!
Pam, I'm still laughing thinking about it !! Wish they had cameras then !! I'll never forget it and laugh every time I think about it. You need to set up the camera for next time !!
OHHH...I don't think so, unless I'm filming him chasing my kids! I want no visual proof of my running from a chicken!!!!Pam, I'm still laughing thinking about it !! Wish they had cameras then !! I'll never forget it and laugh every time I think about it. You need to set up the camera for next time !!
Ya'll are making me want to get another dog.
You don't have a dog?!!??? You NEED a dog!!! Mine, well except for the puppy, are great with the chickens. My Millie (the one that showed such bravery earlier this morning) loves all the hens. She usually licks the Polish hens. She will also go out and herd the strays back to the others if she thinks they have gone off too far. My old dog Gus, just looks at them, then me and all but says "Really, you got another mouth to feed?!?". My puppy (catahoula) Bleu just REALLY REALLY wants to eat chicken!!! He is NEVER out when the girls are out!!
A dog could also help with the fire tendencies...you could teach it to hold the matches!
I had a dog years ago. She died at the age of 13 years old a few years back. She was a pit bull but she didn't know that she was a pit bull. She was just as gently as a lamb. I was always afraid that someone would steal her because she was so frienldy, so I had to always keep my eye on her when she was outside. She was a spoiled house dog that slept in the bed with me every night. The night that she died, I called my family (sisters and brothers) to let them know that she died and they surprised me by showing up at my house the next morning and we had a memorial service for her. My brother dug a 5 foot deep grave under her favorite pecan tree and we buried her. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. She has a head stone and everything.
I get too attached to animals.If I were to get another dog, it would be a guard dog for the chicken yard and I'm not sure I could stand to have him/her in the chicken yard working and not inside chilling out with me.
No, no sign of her.

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that's not the case.

X 2 I think you need a dog, too! Seeing how wild Winnie & Mal go when you visit, I know you'd be the love of some lucky pooches' life!
Winnie and Mal are my best buds. I love those babies.
I could have played with them all day.
Terri, let me know if you need more guinea eggs or keets next year. Not sure if you have heard but everything is fertile at my place .
Thanks.
There is a cute little squirrel that comes to visit every day and I love squirrel stew but I'll give him a pass. I won't shoot him.
That cute squirrel wouldn't make it over here. Buck my male caught one last week. I went out later to pick up any left over pieces. Their wasn't any he ate everything even the tail. Pam
Terri so happy to hear everything went fine at the vets.
Sorry about the owls. I have to watch for them here too. Pam
