Lavender Guinea Keets

Here are the newest additions to our Lincoln Street menagerie - 2 Lavender Guinea Keets. These young'n are three weeks old. They're to young to sex, so we're not sure what we have but hopefully it's a boy and a girl.

Emilie and I went to the Boston Poultry Shows small animal flea market, held at the Holliston Gun Club, this morning. This flea market is held twice a year; spring and fall and always has quite a variety of poultry and small animals. Emilie wanted a duckling but that wasn't going to happen so we settled on these critters. When allowed to roam they're supposed to be excellent bug catchers, especially ticks; lyme disease carrying ticks - we'll see come next spring/summer.



For the curious folk, below is a guinea keet dropping...
