Humm, not sure what I did but my DD does not want to stay inside. She crys to get on her outside shoes and go out!! It will be nice when she is older as I hope she will want to help out with the chickens! I could use the help!

I more than agree with you on the house work! I would be happy if someone else would do that and the cooking!

I get all the old bread from the food pantry every Wed. and give it to my birds. Sometimes I have so much that they do not even eat all that I offer. I feed it to free ranging as well as penned birds. Mine love it and gobble up what they want but none of mine are fat and they still eat their regular food. I have free choice fed it to my roosters that we put up for meat from the time they are 6 weeks old on up and not gotten any more fat on them from it than the ones that seldom get bread.
I think it depends on how much exercise they get but if a bird has free choice good food then they will eat that. Chickens are pretty smart and they know nutrition when it is put before them but not given a choice they will consume whatever they can readily get to keep from starving. Or in their mind, keep from starving. Chickens and ducks always say they are starving. Oh, and horses, too!

I made a new page for my website. One of many that need to be done but the rain helped keep me inside to work on it.

Still catching up on reading the posts. LOVE the new page on guineas! The pictures are great. And thanks for the honorary mention.

Guinea girl looks so good and I'm so happy that she's being a good mother! Makes me feel like I have some good stock here. Your keets are beautiful, the lavender are still my favorite I think. I have some unusual colors this hatch. I need to post a picture and let you or Redbug tell me what I have. That's on my "to do in my spare time" list.

I love keet pictures!!!

On the way from the farm to town today, it was just pouring down and water running everywhere. It was thundering at the farm when we left. I hope we're getting it there. I think it was headed that way. Looks like we got at least an inch with a bit more to come! Woo hoo! We didn't end up with the rain everyone did last week so we really need some more.
