We're setting up to make Shitake Mushroom logs next weekend (Feb 18 & 19). If anyone is interested in buying some and I haven't talked with you about it, send me a message.

The logs are 4-6" diameter and 40 " long. They'll take 6 - 9 months before producing mushrooms. You just have to keep them in the shade and water them when it doesn't rain. One log will produce about 1/4 pound of mushrooms 2-3 times a year.
 
It's just about turkey time again, folks. BBWs They won't ship until the end of March so if you need a little time, you have it. Just let me know if you are interested. $9.50/ea
 
Cracked one egg each from my frizzle and smooth Cochin pen this morning.. I just think it's neat and informative so I took pics. Looks like the frizzle egg was fertile, smooth was not (plus I busted the yolk when I cracked it

Edit: cracked another smooth and it looks good. I'll have to run a true (incubator) test soon.

ok I contacted a guinea club and asked about re-homing adult guineas and this is the reply


Hi Kathleen,

It's true that guinea fowl naturally possess a strong homing instinct or desire to return to a familiar roosting location each night. That doesn't mean they cannot be conditioned to accept a new routine. The key is to keep adult guineas inside the coop or pen that will become their new home for several weeks or more so they can feel secure in the new location. Then they should be allowed out for brief periods of time for a few days, each time herding them back into the coop/pen. It's the repetition of an activity that helps to reinforce the new behavior. Guineas love keeping to a familiar routine.

That, of course, depends on having a secure building or enclosure. If the adult guineas are allowed to roost in trees, they will probably wander away looking for their old home.

We do have two breeders listed on our Breeders List who live in the northern part of Georgia. I doubt either has keets this year just yet, but I would think they should have some as soon as their hens start laying in the spring. Wyndle Bates is located in Blue Ridge; and Haney's Hatchery, a GFIA member, is located in Gainesville. You can find both listings at: guineas.com/breeders/index.php#Georgia
I couldn't get the link to the breaders to work but I did find the numbers if anyone is interested!!
