Haven't been on here for a few days so I will catch up on things. First off the fawn. Haven't seen momma or baby since last week but I'm sure they are ok. The day after the momma chased the dog I was in the house and the dog started barking. My grandson (5 year old) said he would look and see what was going on. He opened the back door and didn't see a thing so, just the dog being noisy. Then I went in and checked the video for the driveway. I see momma and fawn behind the truck in the middle of the driveway looking toward the house. The doe proceeds to lay down in the drive trying to become as flat as possible. My guess is she heard the door and knew the fawn couldn't keep up with her if she ran so she was trying not to be seen. Just hadn't ever seen that before especially out in the open.
Remember the baby geese that were eating the corn as it was coming up? A couple of days ago they disappeared along with their mother. No feathers no signs of anything! Dunno what happened there.
We are now the proud "parents" of about 20 baby guineas though. Momma won't keep them still enough to get an accurate count. They are tiny compared to the geese when they hatch!
Our final batch of birds for now are some Muscovy ducks that we have in an incubator. They should be hatching this week so.... until next time....... as Jimmy Durante would say,"Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
