Meet the Guinea Family

(Unsupported https://cdn.dapplr.in/file/dapplr-videos/fionasfavourites/IW5Bv434EZHwZvYy4R8UgATvlwhFvAss.mp4)



This is the first video and real photos of the entire clutch. The chicks must be about three days old, now, and we think there are between 15 and 17. They are constantly and quickly on the move.



They're also so well camouflaged in the dappled light, photographing them is a bit of a challenge.



The parents live in our vegetable garden (that's a but of an issue) and our entire property is their turf. This is the first time, in about three years, they have been so "brazen" with their chicks: close to the house and virtually around our feet. Until it we all surprise each other which is a little startling for everyone!



Until next time, be well

    • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
    • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

    Nice to watch the family group together, cats are a problem which I am sure you will keep an eye out for.

    Have a wonderful new week Fiona.
