I like guineas, but they would probably drive DH crazy. My Daddy told me that when he was a boy, they had guineas that reproduced well, went wild and roosted all over the place. It was his job to shoot a couple with a 22 for supper. He got to be quite a shot, placing the 22 right in the eye.

Heated buckets...nah...don't have 'em here. Ice usually lasts less than a week and only once or twice a winter. I have electricity ran to the barn and to the portable building that the sheep shed is next to. Don't have either of them wired yet. We have to build a feed and tack room in the barn, then can wire it. I have to get all the saddles, feed and general crap out of the portable building so we can even get to the walls to get it wired. Today we laid a new 3/4" plywood floor in the tool room. It was a free 8'x16' portable building--delivered! We had to put new treated 2x4's under it and 2x6 skids, then drag it to the barn. It has holes in the walls which I'll patch. It will be nice to get all my tools organized!

I've been told the guineas taste between chicken & pheasant. Never butchered mine but some people do raise them for meat. I know that when I found one carcass I was amazed at the amount of breast meat. It was color of chicken. They grow quickly and are excellent foragers, so economical bird meat.

It was 48 here when I went to bed last night, and 60 when I got up. The wind was blowing around 20mph and gusting to 40. I sure was glad that it wasn't 9 out there with the wind today. We both felt like we were forgetting something as we readied to tend to the animals....no Water toting today!! Hooked the hose back up and it felt like a Vacation...:gigthe wind was so bad the ducks stayed grounded... IMAG1479.jpg though, we hooked the hose up yesterday to fill their Tub and they got so Excited there were others that joined Little Bit for the Fly, Dive, Swim, Jump, and Fly routine....:lol: It was Joyce's first time witnessing it. I was ready to video today, but the wind put a damper on it...:mad: Dang it!!...I'll keep trying...;) Lightning found the New treat pocket...IMAG1473.jpg he is the one of the 3 that really likes the Beet pulp, the other 2 will eat it, but rather have the pellets. I don't know about others, but these 3 can get really "Hyped Up" on too much of it though, so I just dole it out a little at a time...:) Even the goats looked for a wind break today...IMAG1461.jpg we were sure Glad too! They needed to clean-up some honeysuckle there anyway. We had sunshine yesterday til about 2pm but it started clouding up and continued today. I sure didn't mind it though with temps in the mid 60's...:celebrate have several dahs ahead with chances of rain, but I sure will take besides that Mess that was around for 3-4 days. I gotta get started with doing some things around here while the temps are tolerable. :thumbsup

We were about the same today only not quite as warm. The wind was wicked but showed me where I did not put enough screws in the new lean-to which I will fix tomorrow.
