How cool to have bees! I wish we could, but several family members are highly allergic. We do have bees visit since the man across the highway has bees and sells honey.

The fox struck again & got another guinea; now I only have one left. Setting the trap tonight & debating going to Petrus & getting some keets tomorrow. I like having no snakes & less insects around.
 
I have some good news. Yesterday our barred rock jumped in our yard with the dogs. They started to chase her and us the dogs. Ron got Buck but sadie was still after her.Ron yelled Sadie sit. Stopped her in her tracks. She stayed their while I got the hen and put her back. Never got up till we praised her. So training is going great!!

Could you give me a link or do I just look up Cajun Farm Animals and supplies? We just put our hive back up and put honey in it trying to attract some. We've got swarms befor its a good way to get them. Honey is getting so expensive. I got my new incubator now I'm itching to hatch some eggs.

Yes, you can do a search on fb for that group and ask to join. They do have a few strict rules, but they make total sense and help keep people from having to ask silly questions.

That's exactly why I chose the blacks. They are a simple color pattern, and easier to keep clean than the whites. They do fade, but mine stay in the shade and I don't show yet, so it's no problem. However I believe the whites are the closest to type. I think almost all white variations are closest to type, since you don't have color to distract you from build. If you'd like, I could get a list of names of silkie breeders in the area I found on Facebook and pm it to you? I'll let you know which one is the guy I'm talking too as well. That way you can browse and find someone you like.

OK we got a game plan going here. I'm going to go pick up some keets at Petrus in the morning. We're going to move our brooder into the former peacock pen, which is totally enclosed. We will raise them there, in the brooder in the pen for the first six weeks, and work with them every day, ringing a bell and giving them white millet for a treat. After six or eight weeks we'll let them out of the brooder but still enclosed in the pen, and continue working with them to associate treats with the bell. Then, we can free range them during the day, but "call" them into the enclosed pen to be locked down at night. I think this will work!

Great game plan. I read an article on training roosters it's the same as dogs. I would think the same for keets.

Sounds good to me. All of mine come when I call, no matter what they are doing, but I always have a treat when I call. The bunnies are even getting tame for apple and blackberry leaves. Celery they are not interested in and carrots barely. But they will do anything for apple and blackberry leaves.
