I went to the beach last week with a couple of good friends. This is what I came home to........

Anyone want to guess how many?!

When I watched the weather channel this morning, I said, "I bet scg is getting snowed on" and my DH says, "Who or what is a scg?" I don't say anything right away and then I get the eye roll and "oh, one of your chicken friends" . Yep.

How are the guineas liking it?

Most people come home with seashells from the seashore....are there Campines in there? what are the ones with the bright red in the upper center? ...and at least 2 dozen is my guess!

The ducks and the guineas and the turkeys and the cornish don't seem to mind it. Everyone else thinks it is going to kill them.

The guineas are starting to act real odd - one of the blue ones keeps laying down in the dog house like it's making a nest (they can't keep hay in there, they insist on kicking it out so she's just laying on boards) and I have to kick it out each night. There's never an egg in there. Tonight there were 3 of them in there all trying to nest.

I brought home two gallon size zip-lock bags full of shells.

Believe it or not, they are all Campines! I get lots of variety in my chicks' coloration. The redheaded ones are likely Golden Campines, although I am not supposed to get any with this batch. I included some SLW blood in my line a generation or two ago, and I get some..... shall we say........'interesting' birds from time to time. Look at the one in the center right! It is definitely silver but doesn't look very Campine-ish, yet.

I have not counted them, yet, but I will tell you that there were 48 in the tray when I left for the beach. My DH and DS#3 stepped up and took care of business. They got a better hatch rate than I usually get.

Any more guesses? Anyone?

I am very sad--I did not see any HRIR in that hatch!

Don't worry, I'll liberate some eggs when I'm down there and she's at work.
