We Lost Our Minds...

...and got guinea fowl. Alan had been chatting about them for a couple of weeks since we are having a big tick problem this year and this is the most natural way of getting rid of them. Guinea fowl love ticks, and Japanese beetles and snakes. Things I hate. So I thought about it and then found someone who would take them if I hated them, and now we have them :) We got them on Sunday, the day before Caroline's spring break so she (and George) had a lot of fun with them. Here they are about the first week and a half or so of their lives :)

 About a day or less old

"I will sit and watch them like Fern watched Wilbur"

 Almost a week and getting their feathers

 Almost two weeks and starting to hop

Notice the one in feeder, or heaven as we say :)
