The Massacre


This is a beautiful sight!

We are inendated with grasshoppers (along with the squeeters). They are eating everything! Including our butterfly bushes. They have to go. And the children love to catch them.

So, they went on assingment today.




Caution: Continue at your own risk.

For those who are a little squeemish you may not want to view the following video.

... just take a look at the pictures that follow.






This video is for:


A) Those who have had Guineas in the past ~ as it may bring back some nastalgic memories.


B) Those who have never had the pleasure of watching Guinea Keets tear apart grasshoppers and Locusts, but wish they had.


The Capture



"Is that for us?"



"What do you have for us?"



"Yum!!!" ~ Keets Gone Mad!


They scurry everywhere to catch the critters and then try to keep someone else from getting them as everyone is trying to steal goodies from each other.

New Members of Jacob's Friends

Growing
Jacob's Friends has some new family members!
We welcome 10 Keets to the farm. Hopefully they will all grow fast and become prime tick eaters. We are so looking forward to them taking care of that for us.

Looks like we have several varieties of guineas to look forward to watching scurrying around the farm looking for scrumptious bugs!
Thank you Heather and Andrew for picking out such beautiful keets for us!
