Heading back to NYC in a few weeks. Booked dinner reservations ( have to book a few weeks out) at a newly awarded one star Michelin restaurant .... why you ask....they have GUINEA HEN on the menu!! Can you believe it R2elk?? When we are there more than a few days we usually try to have one great meal. It was my turn to pick a restaurant. My workmates may have a fit!! But I'm betting on R2elks insistence that Guinea is good eats! Oh I can't wait! Also can't wait for my coworkers reaction to Guinea being the main course.

Another broody....you've hit the trifecta Aurora!

I just let my dogs out to run. It's already like walking into an oven out there. Planning to hook up sprinklers in the bird yard. That will keep the girls happy for awhile.

Had a rogue Speckled Sussex last night. Put the chickens to bed, the turkeys help, then the girls & I take our evening stroll. Had one SS who refused to coop. So she came with us. The turkeys will spread out on the lawn. Little SS was running between them. Daisy was hunting, Annie was grazing. Wore her out.

The chickens go to bed earlier than the turkeys. But the turkeys stay on their roosts later in the morning. So I guess she was up past her bedtime. I could tell the little SS was tired...had to carry her to her coop.
I start running dogs around 4:30 in the morning. The chickens will come out of their coop. All I hear out of the Turkey coop are sleepy sounding little trills.

Aurora....the broody bunch is cracking me up! Love it! Obviously taking the "It takes a village " approach! What a cool bunch of moma birds! And they are fashion forward sporting those cute saddles!! Seriously...so sweet !! Lucky little babies.
And Phil & Lil are just amazingly beautiful. Keep the pics coming of those two...they are mesmerizing....I keep staring at their feather colors & patterns...so interesting! Hey...how is my girl Cuddles?????

We are approaching seriously dangerous heat levels here. Heat index approaching 110 this week. So humid it's hard to breathe. Employing fans, misters, wadding pools. Staying in the 80's at night now. All birds panting. Poor girls. Employing two fans in the turkey pen. One mounted high to reach the roosting area. One low to catch them while on the ground. Got home yesterday and both were lounging in front of the low mounted fan. Taking full advantage.
