Pretty good day, all things considered - got a good rain for the garden (no watering, yay).
Happened to go onto Craigslist right after a lady here in my little town posted that she was giving her chickens away - her dog was killing them and she needed them gone, she was upset and frustrated. I feel so bad for her, you could tell she loved her birds. I went and there were two left - a buff orpington and a sexlink, both pullets, about 14 weeks old. So, they are here now, they have a good home and I'm so grateful I was able to take them.
I'm so excited about the guineas I have hatching right now.....they are some eggs that someone gave me, and I know they have some different colors (all I have ever had is pearl gray and lavender). I really want some different colors, and just now the first two hatched, and they are something different than pearl gray or lavender
I have no idea what they are, can't wait til they dry off and fluff out so I can get pics and ask for help identifying. Really excited about having some new colors in my flock!
Keep on watching out for those predators.....we have a hawk hanging out waaaay too close to our quail pen and where our chickens run around during the day.
Hope you all had a good day.
