So, the guinea keets are feathered enough to no longer need the heat lamp. They aren't quite to the ugly adolescent stage, but they are close. I decided to snap a couple pics because at nightfall this evening, I will go out and catch the eight whites and two remaining pieds ... assuming there has not been an unobserved escape. Two of the white guineas have wriggled out under the frame after digging around. The first escaped the other afternoon when Lynn was here visiting, and flew up onto the roof even. The second made its jailbreak this afternoon, but was afraid of Little Girl, the "runt" of the black phase blue laced Wyandottes from Luanne ... even being the runt Wyandotte, she is still the biggest bird in her tractor. So, hubby and I managed to catch today's escapee, without help from Little Girl or Flaca.

I'll try to give Lynn a call right before I go out to catch the guineas for her, but I suspect she'll already be on the road. Her husband finished up the pen this afternoon, and was wanting to come pick them up the moment he finished. He is really hoping these guineas eat every tick on his property. According to Lynn, ticks really tear him up each year - I know they certainly love to feast on hubby and me both.
