Surviving Minnesota!

Went fishing today . Got about 50 sunfish to clean . One big redear sunfish . Not native in the far north . So you may not be familiar with them . No state limit here on sunfish . Some public waters have limits .

Let the mallard drakes out to fly, and after a minute or so in the air two MORE mallard drakes joined them! They flew around the yard for 5-6 minutes then went their separate ways. It was really fun to watch but scary!

Most days its only one wild mallard with them, so I feel safe that they are the majority, but I'm glad to see they stick around even when there's two.

Hawk is growing up! (buff brahma mottled Cochin mix bantam)

He is getting orange on his neck and shoulder from his daddy. He's going to be one handsome fella! I hate to sell him.

Anyone need a rooster? I need to get rid of him before my other roos start maturing. He is my Australorp/Welsummer cross and should produce some great layers if paired with the right breeds.

Oh and I forgot to mention I got my DW a great anniversary present!


I got her a ATV disc! I knew she has wanted one for a long time!





The guineas started laying eggs yesterday, I got 2 last night and 1 tonight. Everyone else is almost done, there is no market for the keets now all the buyers have theirs and my dumb birds finally start laying!


I should feed them to the bullheads!

I was thinking of getting a couple just to have a predator alert system? Can they be raised with and/or housed with the chickens and will they stay around with the flock and head to the coop at night or will they wonder away?

They can be raised with chickens. Mine are very temperamental to my banties though, especially the roosters.

If you raise them like chickens by teaching them to come in the coop at night they should stay, as of this year it will be 2 year(I think) since I've gotten my 2 guineas, and they've always gone to the coop at night.

To be honest though I will NEVER get guineas again, mine have been pains from the start, flying up in trees, antagonizing chicks and chickens. At one point they pulled all the feathers off my bantie roosters neck and saddle in the middle if January. . And many other numerous things
