There’s a poultry swap within an hour’s drive this Saturday. I think I’ll hop in the car and go see if anyone has a guinea for sale. We kept going up to check on Larry the guinea today. He would chirp to us and seemed to perk up, so he’s got a little company.
There’s a hatchery that has keets available as of the 4th of June. I can always order some, but they would have to be in a brooder for a minimum of 6 weeks.
I am back from the poultry swap and the good news is that Larry the guinea now has a couple of young roommates.
The hopefully not bad news is, they’re young, female, Bourbon Red turkey poults. Larry is nonplussed and the poults are not particularly concerned. The 2 babies (fully feathered, but they’ve got a bit of growing to do) are sticking together. Larry plopped down in a corner of the pen, with a birdy shrug, making soft noises, the kind he makes when he is content.
Now we need to find a certain very bad Ball Python, and all will be right in this thread.
