@ Arsenius ...Guineas are quirky.. and very noisy. <br /><br />@ Arsenius .. maybe next spring have some chickens hatch out some guinea eggs! My 6 think they are chickens, so they don't wander too far. They stay in the yard..so far. Then again.. their "leader" is a rooster.<br /><br />@ AJK.. I can't wait until you get chickens! I really wanted some buff Orpingtons too, but they were sold out at the time.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969984002125158749.post-46415847394959374362011-08-01T01:45:27.148-05:002011-08-01T01:45:27.148-05:00OMGomgomgong!

Definitely not suited for us city folk.<br /><br />I had inch worms eating up my tomato plant behind the fig tree this year (semi-shaded) so I would sit there and stare and stare until I found some big ones, then I'd run over to the goldfish in the 35gal transhcans filled with rainwater, and pop 'em into the water. Boy, the fish love those wormies! Oh! and I found out what the tomatoes are called! "Black Plum Paste Tomatoes!" heheAJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805794458934272031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969984002125158749.post-12855824450193684882011-07-30T13:38:14.310-05:002011-07-30T13:38:14.310-05:00I have a lot of chickens but no Guineas.

We've had to resort to essentially super sized sipee cups while working outdoors. <br /><br />I wasn't expecting these guys to be so... interesting. I wish I could video tape them.. I also wish I could keep them out of the beans. The guinea fowl have developed a ravenous taste for them.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969984002125158749.post-31510852304522979492011-07-26T14:57:38.605-05:002011-07-26T14:57:38.605-05:00Your fowl stories always crack me up!!

But then, hindsight is 20/20. If I get hornworms this month or next, I'm sure I'll remember hating them too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969984002125158749.post-85593834381961756682011-07-25T07:35:50.850-05:002011-07-25T07:35:50.850-05:00Those chickens and your take on the guinea hens......Those chickens and your take on the guinea hens...too funny.:) Good luck with the heat, sounds miserable.

I get them in early to mid July of which I think I got rid of all of this crop so far this year I haven't seen one now in over a week. About the second week in August will come the real crop of them and you will need to check your vines a few times a day for them.PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
