With the temps the way they are here, I can not think of many places I would not rather be next week than Baton Rouge. Are you bring 4 changes of clothes for each day?

Maybe you will need to borrow my Sunday go to meetin clothes..
 
So what time should i put the girls to bed? I'm leaving them in their coop for 2 days then i will let them go out in their run then after couple more days i will let them free range the yard.. But for tonight do i just let them be on the coop floor with the straw bedding or do i start getting them use to their roost and place them on it??? Thanks for advice...
 
well the inside of the coop is like a 2 story and the roost is on the 2nd level so they would have to use the ramp to get up and down it.. I have a screen covering their roosting area so they cant jump down and hurt themselves. will the 2nd level be to hot? what if they have a heat stroke? and what if its to hot and they want a drink and cant find their way down will they get dehydrated overnight and die? and if they find themselves getting out of roosting area and then what if they are alone on coop floor by themselves will they be OK alone?

It drops to 40 and they dress for the Iditarod. I can make fun - I got family down there.

After I had to chase Ole and Lena all over to put them back in their new digs I left them in the coop for a little over a week. By then they associated it with safety and they will put themselves to bed - usually by 8:00 I didn't teach them that - nature did. The guineas all start gathering nearer to the pole barn about 7:00 or 7:30 then by 8:30 they are roosting.

Good luck with them!!!
