Guinea sleepover II
HW did some out loud wondering whether we´d have another visitation. If this little bird maybe had a sprain; was having a hard time and the falling in the tank was a symptom, not cause.In the evening, he closed the coops again and returned without remark. He climbed to the loft, where I was, and halted meaningfully at the top of the ladder.No way!
Guinea house finally outside
They piled up on the roof per usual, two of them utilizing the perches.Surely they´ll go in the house when it rains? No, no they won´t.They huddle grimly on the top of the house in the wind and rain, only one hen perching up against the entrance, somewhat sheltered by the overhang of the roof.
Spring
It´s garden and greenhouse time - very busy. Everyone is well, the piglets are no longer -lets, just pigs, the bees are busy, the hens are entertaining and entertained. I have lots to share...but for now, a glimpse:The bunnies are grazing in the field alongside the hens and robins. They are almost all brown- some have tufts of white fur that haven´t fallen out yet, making them distinguishable. Low-speed chases happen - I suspect they are mating chases.
Additions to the farmily
I wanted to even out the numbers some by adding a couple of hens. That would make three hens and two cocks; a better ratio. They arrived this evening.I carried the sacked birds to the greenhouse in my arms, their little feet holding on to my hands through the bag.I set them down in the greenhouse.
