Well late last night I pulled the automatic egg turner out of the incubator. I'm trying to hatch some guinea eggs. they are from different colored guineas. I'm hoping by the first of the week to have some new baby guineas. Don't know if anything will become of them but they have been fun babysitting them.
Today I let one of the young guinea Keets out of the nursery into the main part of the turkey house. Will let it get used to being out and that it is safe. will slowly introduce the rest of them that way.
The cornish cross don't care were they are as long as there is food. they seem to be growning nicely. I told my wife that they are to big for their britches. They don't like to be picked up but they will stand there and let you rub their chests.
Well I finely got the posts put in the ground for holding the small grain bin off the ground. It is the kind of bin that has the funnel shape on the bottom. I have to make the bottom part of the cone and then will mount a grain auger to it. Dad and I are going to run it into the chicken house so as to make it easier to access. better than cranking it by hand and standing knee deep in snow with a cold wind blowing up you back. Hope to be able to get it finished and filled before the snow flys.
