Well I know what your summers are like . Heat , chiggers , snakes and ticks , really little ticks . You can have it .

Well I found 3 egg eaters in two different breeding pens... 2 if not three of my Buckeye hens and my Orpington Cockerel... ugh...

And then my Guineas went and murdered one of my favorite EE pullets I hatched...

Tomorrow night will be filled with building roll away nest boxes...

When are you having roast Guinea?

I never had issues with Guineas abusing my chickens ? I know many have had that happen, but I guess mine are of a more well mannered strain of high culture ?
I have only one left, and he will be the last I think. I do appreciate the tick eradication and watching their antics, but they are very noisy and go into the road. The road issue is of primary concern in my suburban wilderness setting. I honestly believe all the noise is an attractant for predators as well.
Weather news here this AM. Season to date we are 15 inches less snow than last year, and last year was at long term average. Average temperature was about 9 degrees lower than last year and about 4 degrees lower than long term average.
Moral of the story is it has been a damn cold winter with a little less snow than average, but as the old saying goes " we aren't out of the woods yet".
At +10 and sunshine yesterday it seemed quite pleasant. Isn't that somewhat depressing in itself?
Ralphie, are you still in the political fray, or have you regained your sanity ?

Morning . -3 low and 11 now . Warming up to snow . Now for my weather predictions . The groundhog is wrong . Warmup coming in March . Safe ice for the eelpout Festival this year .
