At sunrise, Guineacent and the four new "house keets" raid the new garden space we made with visiting friends this past week. We made a mini permaculture "food forest" with a fig tree, blueberry bushes, and comfrey.Our broody guinea hen is still gettin' broody. She's entering her fourth week, which should be the final week. Luckily, she chose a nice shady spot because she also chose the middle of heat-wave to sit on those eggs.
About a week ago I noticed her off the nest looking down at the nest perplexedly. She was kind of circling the eggs and bobbing her head up and down. I walked over to see what was up and she quickly sat on it. Later that day she was off the eggs eating so Sweetbreads went to look and lo and behold only nine eggs remained. Previously, there were 23 plus one giant turkey egg that we snuck under her. Now 14 eggs were missing and the turkey egg was gone too. I imagine there's a bloated snake out there somehwere. No eggshells in sight, something made off with 'em.
The nest as it stands today
Nest prior to egg raid
Wednesday or Thursday she should hopefully hatch out the remainder, assuming whatever ate the others doesn't come back for seconds...
At the risk of my Dad taking his truck back, I post for your weekend viewing pleasure Sabine and her undying love for jumping on the truck. She's the only one that does it, and not too frequently, but when she gets going she's impossible to stop. A goat determined to be Queen of the Truck Roof is a goat not to be deterred. (more photos after the jump)
The hood is not enough, I must have roof
