Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Granny Hatchet]

Ugh, looks like I'm in the technology fan club with you, granny! My laptop picked up a hostage virus, and I had to pay $40 for the repairman to take it off.

Not sure how it happened, since I have anti-virus software. Computers are just so finicky.

ha! i was told not to get an antivirus, say thats what gives it to you.

Well I thought they were 5 weeks old..we're building their run today, would have been yesterday but up all night with sick kiddlet. ?
Didnt think they laid till 8 weeks old

they start laying at 5-8 weeks? thats fast. are you going to set them?

Who told you that, granny? I guess there are some bad, fake companies out there. But any antivirus you can buy at the store is safe to use. I have McAfee. But after this incident, I think I'll upgrade to something better.

Quote: Cheyen, don't use AVG either. I got a virus as well with this antivirus. I have been using Norton for a few years now and it catches everything. Nothing gets by Norton. Supposed to be the best antivirus out there.

well, i dont have anything on my computer

i let my guineas out today to range for the first time in a week and half because snow was melting but there is still alot on the ground. BIG mistake !! they were afraid of it , stayed on the roof most the time but i have lost three of them . i could see one in a tree so probably all of them but its really cold out now. hope they make it through the night.

I'm sure they'll be fine, granny. Guineas are cold hardy like chickens, right?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

im not to sure. there origins are african .its pretty cold out. cant belive the snow scared them that bad. i hope thats all it is. im guessing.
