Georgia is the one behind Mandy - Georgia pecks at Mandy to make her go where Georgia wants!

Great things start from small beginnings. Once you get a proper flock, you should try their eggs. As thousands of raccoons can attest: they are yummy.

I dies of the cuteness of feathered friends.

They are soooo cute! I'm glad you got there in time to save Mandy from being mangled :-)

SO cute! Reminds me of when I was about 10 or so, and my grandfather was raising quails. ADORABLE!!!!

Awwwwww -- adorable!

And they'll be just the right size in November...

They really are cute. Unfortunately guineas are about the noisiest creatures pound for pound on the planet, except for crickets. On the other hand they taste much better.

Better than crickets? They'd have to.

But probably not as good as Cricket's.

Heh. Castle Critters are ornaments, not comestibles.

Well, except for the eggs, mebbe. And we'll shear fur, if we get the angora sheep that SWWBO dreams of.

We'd have pigs if pigs laid bacon. But except for the prurient ditch some of you fell into on that one, that not being the case, no pigs. We have enough fat pink beings wandering around without adding the four-legged variety.

And we knew about the noise Guineas make. They will constitute the back-up alarm system for the Castle, should the more formal set-up fail.

It's all part of the plan.

It's interesting, everybody who *has* an opinion either hates 'em or likes 'em - but one thing they all agree one... taste.
