Guinea Fowl

~ Do you own guineas? I do... 5 of them, they turned 4 this year, April 20, 2009. They run all over my yard, eating lots of bugs and keep the snakes away ( I havent seen a snake here any this summer). Heres a great read on Guinea Fowl..   Raising Guinea Fowl 

The last time I have seen any babies was July 31, 2011... 

A Spring Fever Kinda Day...

At 1:00 it was 65 degrees... Ooo its so nice & I've enjoyed every minute of it, I've hung outside alot today. Walked the goat girls over to my neighbors pasture, took pics of his 2 beautiful cows, played & snuggled with Ringo... then checked on the chickens, ducks & guineas & OOo yeah I let piggy out for some exercise time.

We have keets...

My guineas free range, they never give me any eggs or keets (well I've gotten 2 guinea eggs in the past 2 years, lol). They sleep in the coop & on the top of the run, they eat all the food & chase the chickens/ducks away but they wont give me any eggs... so not fair, lol. They lay their eggs in the woods or fields & I hunt for their nest sometimes but usually dont find it. I just happen to be out feedin/waterin the animals yesterday & seen they had babies... I only got to grab 5... the parents were not happy, 1 came after & flogged me.

Arent they cute :)

The barnyard animals & their own area

We finally got the back yard fenced in for most of the barnyard animals to hang out & free range in all day. I love it. They have everything they need... shelter, water, free food, shade to cool off in. Its really nice to go down & hang out with them under the shade trees. We had to also put an electric fence around all of it but the back fence, Porkchop figured out she could escape after about a week. The day we put the electric fence up she got shock about 4 different times... She learned her lesson & wont go near the fence now, lol.

I've been hangin out with the animals & gettin some really cute pics. to share. The bantams (that live in the bantam tractor) get to free range in the big yard in the evenings, a few chickens/ducks can & do fly over & hang out in the big yard all day.
