h'okay so.
charles and jeff continue to live, and I continue to bring them milk and only call them "kitteeeee". today, charles got in the goat side (probably running away from me) and I thought he was going to get trampled- it was horrible! So I opened the gate thingy and went in with the goats (i know, i know, i now fear NOTHING) but that just made him retreat to the hole in the side of the barn, and made one of the smaller goats wriggle though out of their pen, to where the kitties cage and food is (hence where he can get OUT out... bad). So i ordered him back in, and pushed the cat cage, which they never use, against the fence next to the goat part, so hopefully he can't get out again.
I hope that made sense. maddoxes- you know what i'm talking about?
but I do have a question: how can I tell which are guinea eggs? I usually look for 3 characteristics
a. that darker color
b. they're smaller
c. they're pointy-er
but... what about medium sized grey pointy ones? I don't think I'm picking ('gathering', thank you lise) guinea eggs, but I'm afraid I'm leaving regular eggs in the tree house ('gypsy wagon', thank you bridget). any help? I even searched wikipedia, which couldn't help me (gasp!).

In your #12 picture, there are 7 guinea eggs. I know some of the chicken eggs look small or pointy, but the guinea eggs are rounder on the bottom and rather sharply angled up to the point and they are a deeper tan color. But don't fret - if you leave some chicken eggs in with the guinea eggs, they won't hatch (no rooster) and we don't need every chicken egg to be gathered. here's a reference:

Don't worry! you're doing a great job! And yes, I understand completely about trying to keep those kids corraled - they're trixy! But they always stay near their mamas, so they won't go far.
Love you...
