Oh boy... I don't miss my guineas ONE BIT!!!

 

[Cadeau]

It's just the juveniles that make so much darn noise!
Every BLADE of grass an emergency!

I don't mind the "buck wheat" that the girls make - it is the "gunshot" noise that drives me up the wall!

I can't wait until they get over puberty!

I asked about Mel a few weeks ago! Where is the boy at? We haven't had any of his humor in a long time

Did he eat the cow yet? I don't think I could eat it after I raised it

I have a rooster that is going to need to be culled soon. He has a NAME and has been with us long enough that .....well ..... a friend will have to do the deed for me and.....to make matters worse ..... he will have to come get the bird while I am not around!

Around here... if you get a name, then you are a pet.

If you get a number, then you are dinner.

Something happened to the cow.....I can't remember exaclty, but it was not a nice thing. It was sad. I hope he is able to get back on BYC soon....I miss his sense of humor too!

I am sorry to hear about your pet rooster....I hear ya about not eating them if they have a name and especially not doing the deed.


Now......WHAT ABOUT THAT CRACKER EGG??????????

 

[Harris5]

Thought I would pop in for some show-n-tell...

A blue copper pullet I hatched from my gang. I know you cant evaluate her very well from the angle, but let me know if you all see anything really off with her.

And some eggs my GCM pullet has been laying....

the only thing I see that is "really off" with her is that she lives in California and not Washington!!!!!

She is pretty and has WONDERFUL Copper hackles!

NICE Cuckoo egg!

Hey...when we swap eggies....I hope this girl is laying and some of her eggs accidentally make it in to the box.

Raven~ It's all good! Take your time my friend!

She should start to lay any day....I will sneak in some of her eggs to hitch a ride to WA.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

The GCM egg is really big for a pullet egg... she has been laying for a couple of weeks, but it was never very small.
