Chicken mania is going around, Betty needs to have Larry take her bantams to the Huntiville sale. My 18, Judy kept two of the hens, the 18 brought 116 dollars.Kelly said he gave 6 dollars each for the gunieas so that is 36 dollars. I made a profit! Some one gave 36 dollars for 2 hens and the rooster. Think how many roosters I killed last fall!
I may try hatching some guineas under a hen. Guinea hens don't make good mothers because they drag them out in the wet and cold. The man who sold kelly the guineas said I had 4 hens and 2 roosters, maybe, time will tell. They should start laying by May. I will be crawling in the pen to get eggs for setting. Maybe clayton might want to set some eggs in his incubator .

Your chickens are so pretty. Evidently, other people think so, too, or they would not have sold so well. Don't guieas start hollering when someone strange comes around? I always heard they were as good as a watchdog.
New business.. you raise them Kelly sells them. Good deal for both of you.
I think I got the varmit to leave my pen alone,
When the guinea mom I had hatched out her babies I had to put up a barrier to make the mom keep her babies safe. Eventually they found their way out anyway. They were a little bigger and stronger before this though, so sixteen survived the ordeal after they got out.
