Baymule’s Farm Pictures

[Baymule]

There was 11 this morning, found one dead, one missing, 9 left. Carson and Sentry both got baby guinea lessons today. As In “mine” and “not yours” over and over with a handful of “no” tossed in for good measure.

I got a great picture of one with a caterpillar. A 2 day old hunter! That worm is as big as the key!

That is so adorable! Free range chicks with their mama's have it so much better, except for the mortality rate!

I was lucky to get that shot!

We are down to 6. Tried to save a couple of the stragglers but they died anyway. On a good note, these 6 are active, strong and keep up with the parents. The family is in pasture #1 where it is semi wooded and the rye grass is tall. They seem happy there.

I hope that the rest make it! They are so vulnerable at this point in their lives.

Haven’t checked this morning, but the 6 were still running after their parents yesterday evening. Even saw another one gulp down a fat cut worm. Busy little things.

Prince is checking out the coffee cans I use for Feed to see if there are any crumbs for him.

Part of living on a farm is raising our own food. We are raising Cornish Cross meat chickens and slaughtered 13 2 days ago. This big boy, dressed, weighs 7 pounds, 5 ounces.

And the guinea family! They travel two pastures and the yard all day. Still have the 6 chicks, they are doing fine.
