Did you decide not to get more Guineas? Cute face. Beautiful babies!

I'm not 100% sure just yet. With the hatching numbers being lower than expected, I've considered getting some more keets to raise with the chicks. I like the guinea, but I was not a fan of raising keets.

It acts like the Seramas like it's flock. She huddles up with the Silkies to sleep, and freaks out if more than 2 chickens are missing at once. I'm wondering if I do get more keets, if she would eventually rejoin her own species.

So she likes the silkies and happy with the Seramas maybe you should leave it like that.

That's what I am learning towards at the time. I feel a bit bad for her a times, but she seems to be doing just fine. Plus she's a lot easier to handle now in regards to catching. As long as I'm calm I can pretty much just reach down and pick her up. Thinking of naming her Pearl. It's my great grandmothers name, and the only lady's name tattooed on my body. (Don't tel grandma, but she's growing a horn)

Well Grams was a squirrely one too.

When the family would go to the farm for deer hunting, Pearl would go too. Five adults held permits, but my uncle was the only to to actually go hunting. Everyone else just hung out on the farm enjoying w/e pies they picked up at the Amish community down the road. At the time, Pearl was 86 and not in the best of health, but you let a game warden ask to see her permit and she was Johnny on the spot. She'd point out her 2 "kills" and just look at'em. I'm not sure she could even hold a rifle , but she sure could hold a poker face, and make a mean deer jerky.

I'd love to have a barn.

I only get the lean-to on the barn. It is filled with workbenches and tools!

Up in MO, when I was a youngster. It's been almost 30 years. I'd guess thing to have changed some by now.

That's a good starting point to build another lean-to!
