Lucy Update
|
| |

This is about Louise. But first of all, I'd like to report that the guineas settled in, stay out of the road, and put themselves in the coop at dusk. They eat ticks and watch for predators, and I think the foxes are a little bit afraid of them. So they are working out very well. I can't tell them apart, so their name is Darryl.... more »
