Wow this thread moves quickly!
I had a great time meeting you, Joy! Thanks so much for showing me around the farm and talking chickens with me for so long.
The guinea eggs went into my incubator the very next day, and the others went under my broody hen... I'm crossing my fingers that she sticks with it!
As for my t-shirt, it was an impulse buy at Tractor Supply... and well worth it, as much as it gets worn!
It's such a lovely day outside, but I haven't gotten a thing done. I've spent most of the day playing with the week old peeps. They're just starting to grow tailfeathers!
Oh well, I haven't seen that shirt at TSC here in Greer. It was a good buy, very cute. If I'd seen it I would have bought myself one for sure. I hope your guinea eggs hatch well. Just a couple of days after you were here, my guineas saved my birds from a coyote in the backyard. He came right up behind the house and was stalking the ducks and chickens. The guineas sounded the alarm, then ALL the guineas around the whole yard sounded the alarm - it was very LOUD! But the coyote was stunned long enough for the chickens, guineas and ducks to fly to safety. I hate that they are back. Here we go again ..... coyote hunting. I have a guy with all the special "hunting stuff" who came last year but never got one. I've given him some special silkies so maybe he will come back and hunt again for me. I dearly love my guineas.
