Copping out

It has been a crazy busy couple of weeks. As if the holidays don't make it hectic enough,we helped my son and daughter in law move. Plus I am trying to give myself a new routine since everything I do with the animals has to be done in the morning before I leave for work. It's dark when I get home now, even if I am out the door at 5 sharp.

So now that I have made sufficient excuses I thought I would share some photos of what's going on around here. Enjoy!

We have baby guinea fowl! 

They are so cute and so much cleaner than chicks! I love how they stay all huddled together. We have them in a brooder box indoors but when they hear the grown guinea call an alarm they all run to that side of the box in a huddle. It is so amazing to see how they just know when to follow that call.

This is Blackjack, the Ameracuna rooster. He is gorgeous!

This is the one who taught the chickens how to pose for the camera. Ugh! 

We enjoyed a nice walk through the pasture last weekend. I LOVE this time of year! The leaves are beautiful and the land is preparing itself for rest to come back even more colorful in the spring. 

I finally got around to cutting up that pumpkin to distribute. They all loved it! At least it was large enough they couldn't grab it and run away with it like everything else I put in there for them,

Roulette and his little hen.

I also got the poultry netting to put over the fenced in free range area today so they don't have to be fully supervised. Got to let them enjoy that grass before it is all gone. Getting set up now for staged fodder to feed them in the months they won't have grass. Also, Roulette and his hen moved into some new quarters. It is a small mobile coop that can be relocated as necessary and the fence around it also is mobile. At least right now they have plenty of grass!

Well that's all for now! I will be getting back to the written posts soon. Just trying to catch my breath for a bit. Enjoy the pics!
