First, YT, the king of the guineas, is no longer king! I found him last week inside the coop, not wanting to come out and staying at the top of the rafters. Not like him at all. Later I found him getting chased by Ptitsa. Very not like him. Looks like he dropped one or two ranks. Ptitsa is king, then Buckwheat, and then ... hard to tell. Maybe Zoe.
Second, last week the birds were let out all day, every day, *unsupervised*! They did smashingly. Everbody was back, nobody was left behind, when I came home and did a body count. Good birds!
Last... but not least... today marks the first day of adulthood for one of the girls! Speculation from Kerrie is that it is Kiki who dropped the first egg (she was also first out of the gates in the incubator!) Kerrie says Ptitsa was on watch and Kiki was in the bushes yesterday. This is classic nesting behaviour. Sure enough, tonight there was an egg. I'm so proud!
Thanks for the motorcycle gang visits, I saw the card. Drop by any time.
