the "guineas"

I heard on the news this morning, that the stock market is way down..... well (not making light of that situation, because I know that it is important)... but, maybe someone from Wall street should come and take a peek on the farm...

Because, with a bit of coaching from Mom.. the guinea keets are definitely "up".... Mom is beginning flying lessons and the keets are just so very proud of themselves... flying "all the way to the top" of the dog crate that I have in their stall. They are the funniest creatures to watch, and they fly up... peck around for a bit and then launch themselves off. A couple have actually had small flights across the stall.. course, stopping before they run into the wall or the door has been another matter!!!!

Pearl, I think, is pretty pleased with her brood... we have some neat colors showing up as well.... three look very much like mama, two will definitely be white and one is a little tan/fawn color.

I am amazed at how fast they are growing, and I think we may need a "roof" on that stall before much longer....
