Keets!!

The kids have been trying to get some guineas to hatch in the incubator. While they've got about 2 more weeks left before they are supposed to hatch, I candled them the other day and only 1 is showing *any* signs of any success potential - AT ALL.. most didn't even seem fertilized to begin with. Which is kind of a bummer, but on Craigslist I came across an add for keets for super cheap in Coweta (like half price of anywhere else and local so no shipping) so we made the little jaunt up there and got 10. Holy moly are those little buggers loud! The guy had several different mixed colors, so I'm not really sure what we ended up with, we just had him mix it up for us. They are tiny right now.

The helpers are excited about taming them. I don't really get the appeal of birds, but who can deny these little faces their little pets - especially since I won't actually be taking care of them?

Yeah, I couldn't tell them *No* either. They know if they do the work, they can have them. Little stinkers.
