This infusion of bird-braininess brings our total count of fowl up to TWENTY-EIGHT! That is, if my counting is accurate. They are in all stages of growing up, but their tail feathers are lengthening and they are all picking up a nice shine. These guys add a lot of neat sounds and a lot of added color to the barn-scape.
Yesterday, Mom and Dad went to Hephzibah to look at a couple of guineas and came home with WAY more than they had planned for! They brought back three half-grown guineas (which we love because they eat ticks and are also a very good, very loud, alarm system). They got a white male and two hens. One of the hens is a light gray called a pearl and the other is a darker speckled and is called a lavender. The colors are kind of unusual and rare. They also brought back two gray-brown baby guineas, two mature and already laying Cornish Bantam chicken hens, and two baby Cornish Bantam chickens. I tried to get good pictures, but birds are hard to photograph and almost never stand still! The frizzles still aren't used to us and won't let me approach, so no pictures of them as of yet.
