My Eyes, My Eyes

I have previously told you we have 14 guinea hens and boy are they stupid! We let some of them out each day so they can eat the ticks and insects in our yard(the reason we got them). We only let some of them out and not all because if all are out they tend to roam further distances and if only some are out they stay pretty much in our yard. They have their own large pen with a hen house with Andersen windows and door(lock included just to keep the fox from knocking). Yes they have a double and two single Andersen windows with screens to keep the bugs out of their pooped house! Don't ask I don't know why?

My husband knew it was time before winter sets in to clean the hen house so he got in there and removed the chips that had been there all summer and replaced it with wood shavings that his brother had given him. These wood shavings were light in color compared to the usual wood chips we had been using but we never counted on the guinea hens being afraid of the wood shavings and fleeing their home and refusing to re -enter it! They will sleep on top of the cage or house but not inside. So we are trying mixing the light color wood shavings with the dark color chips to see what happens. Wish us luck! If anyone whats to know what guinea hens look like here they are.
