Auntie's Chickies

Auntie and Uncle bought some keets this spring, which grew up into Guinea hens.  Less than half survived the road of death and the predators lurking in the thicket, but in the meantime, they helped keep the lawn tick-free.  Well, Auntie and Uncle found that a coop partially filled is no coop at all.  So they went and bought some egg-layers to join in the fun.


They taught the Guniea hens to roost with the chickens.  What a cool house these fowl have.  The most spacious of any I have seen.  Of course, it is supposed to be a horse stall...
