One of my baby guineas that hatched out. I have about 10 of them and hoping for more to hatch in the next few days.

Beautiful tulips growing in my flower beds before the flash flood came and washed away most of my flowers beds. It didn't touch my gardens and for that I am very thankful. Then a week later we had a terrible hail storm. It seems all the elements are fighting against us. We are still trying to remain positive.

The sign my friend Debbie's painted for my hen house. Everyone chipped in and scraped and painted it first and now it is the most beautiful chicken coop in the world.

Here are our 5 babies. From 9 eggs, 6 hatched and 5 lived. We had to help the black ducks they didn't seem to be progressing. It made me wonder if they could have come from the Muscovy because they take longer to incubate. The yellow are Peking and the gray is a runner. The black are some type of cross.

I have found 36 guinea eggs and we have put them in to hatch. it has been 3 days they take 28 days to hatch.

We have started selling our fresh eggs. $1 a dozen, have sold 11 dozen so far. Sold 4 blue egg laying babies for $2.50 each. If I could catch them I have 6 guineas sols for $10 a each. I also have someone waiting on the baby guineas to buy. I have the babies we hatch last month and our now pullet's. I think I will put them in the paper next week ans see if we can make a little more from them.

Momma and her babies all doing well. I sold a few babies and someone wants to buy about 6 Guinea's. Jeff and I are going to Indiana for the weekend. I will take some photos there. I am hoping to find a nice farmers market. The garden we have planted is huge and I am hoping for big returns. 3 kinds of potatoes, 2 bush beans, 2 corn, 3 different peppers, 3 different tomatoes, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, cukes, gourds, and onions so far.

I put 9 duck eggs in the incubator and they take 28 days to hatch. They should be ready by May 12th. Jeff , me and his brother Calvin are supposed to go to Indiana the 2nd weekend in May. I hate riding in the car. I be they will talk about trucks and hauling the whole way...Maybe I will catch up on sleep while we are gone.

Our potatoes are just starting to come up. I am hoping to plow and plant some corn and bush beans this weekend. Depends on the weather. I am hoping to get alot planted for a heavy canning season with any luck.

Hoping to can enough for us, Trisha and her husband, my mother and many some to give to friends. Should have enough green beans, corn, tomatoes, and potatoes for all. Sam wants to make more stewed tomatotes they did turn out wonderful.

Everyone is resting in the warm red light after their tiring ordeal of getting out of the egg.
