Awwwww!
How gallant!
You should rename him Sir Larry.
Now I want Guineas again!
Great little tick hunters.
This morning Mr Darnright went up to see how the new youngsters were doing. Larry was in the back of the pen (in his usual spot) and the 2 turkeys were in the middle. When Mr D opened the door, the turkeys made a mad dash for Larry.
They hid behind their new “dad” until the big scary man finished replenishing their food and water.
Guineas are good little tick hunters, y’say?
Aren’t they sort of noisy birds, or am I getting them mixed up with something else?
I’ve been debating with myself as to whether I should raise my owm protein. Birds give both eggs and meat, but I’d like something tougher and sassier than plain ole yardbirds. (Umm, I love having the black snake(s) around the property, but I’m afraid of them finding an easy meal in the coop.)
And yeah, I just wanted to check in & see if Alice had decided to make nice with Mommy.
