Ummm dusting it is a major operation. Takes all day by myself..Round log walls and beams , grrr. I threaten to use the leaf blower and put the large barn fan outside and open window for dust removal.

Sounds like a good idea, that or hire a maid!!

Ha ha! I figured a maid service would look at it and triple the fee!

Only hire blind maids.

If the birds fly up there and flap around a bit you wouldn't HAVE to dust! They're just as good as a leaf blower or fan. Just put a tarp over the carpet during the operation.

I have a genetics/color question for all you Guinea experts. I went to lock my Guineas in the coop tonight and saw that my two hens (who are sitting on about 30 eggs together in the same nesting box) had hatched 5 keets so far. The keets are as follows: 2 are pearl gray, 1 is buff dundotte, and 2 are pearl pied. The potential parents are as follows: one hen is a pearl gray and the other is a buff dundotte. I only have 2 males. The older dominate male is a pied pearl gray and the younger male is a light lavendar. (By the way, I have no white Guineas in my whole flock). I thought that the only way to get a pied pearl Guinea was to cross a white with a pearl gray. Is this correct, and if so, can someone explain how I got the pied keets?
