The mini-guineas have made the big move out to the coop! Now that the chicken pullets are integrated with the rest of the flock (although they still try to avoid everyone), the cage was open for the next round of newbies. The minis have been growing fast, but they look small out in their new big digs!

It’s an upgrade with a hanging waterer, wide and sturdy roost, and a dust bath.
They were constantly filling up their other water and food dishes with gunk in their small quarters so it was past time to get them out of there.
“Does this mean my Mama duties are finally over?” wonders Samantha. Well, Sam, that remains to be seen…..we’ll let you know how it all plays out once we know.Β

Wow! They are growing fast! The fall is approaching quickly – are you still going to go away on your annual girlfriends trip this year?
I’m not sure if we’ll have a trip this year or not. A lot of things have changed with everyone, and it’s tough to get away. But we’ll still try!
They grow up so fast, enjoy your new Diggs little birds
Soon enough, they’ll be roaming the yard with the others!
That little farm is growing by leaps and bounds. Can’t wait to see where it goes next.
Some days I don’t think we even know where it’s going – it’s definitely an adventure!!
It’s sure fun to watch them grow up.
It really is! All of the changes are so cool.
Samantha, you deserve a vacation. They look happy in their new digs π
She has worked hard and earned it! Pretty soon she’ll at least get to have the winter off!
You are now a chicken hatchery π Hope Samantha gets some more to take care of.
You sure are right about that! Not sure what we got ourselves into though….LOL. Sam is back on duty, for a few days anyway. π
They grow so quickly but I’m sure Sam will continue to mother them. MOL!
Even when they leave the house, she gets to go outside and visit them!
Sam, we think you ought to continue to keep an eye on those hens. You never know what they will do.
She agrees – they can’t be trusted!!
They are so darn cute and Sam, you’re a beauty girl!

What great new digs!! So glad they are doing well!!
They seem to be pretty happy, though I’m sure they’ll be happier when they get even more freedom!
They are growing so fast!! What fun for you.
We’ll be happy when they are big enough to join the rest of their crew!
Sam, you’ve done a great job as surrogate mama! And you definitely deserve a rest! π΄
She got a few days off anyway…. π
Oh, and I’m the one who really wanted some days off!
I hope Sam at least gets a few days of vacation! I know how hard she’s worked with all of these little ones π Can’t wait to see how these babies integrate into the rest of the flock!
We can’t wait either! We hope they will hang closely with the others once they are all grown up. π
Sam got some vacation, but she said it was too quiet!
They are so adorable! Glad the move went well. Looks like you can relax for now, Samantha!
Sam did enjoy some time off!
