Notice Mommy guinea at top of picture looking down on the babies! She definitely wanted to know what we were doing with her babies!

As you can tell I still haven't quite figured out adding pictures to post! :)

NEW BABY GUINEAS BORN TODAY!

We have 14 new baby guineas, born this morning! They are beautiful grey, white, and browns!

Mommy guinea and babies are doing fine! Mommy guinea was a little upset that I collected the babies and put them in a cage, but she finally joined them and is starting to settle in.

Guineas are not famous for taking good care of babies. They tend to let them sit out in the rain and weather unprotected from hawks and other predators. So I always collect and put them in a large cage. Then the grandkids and I feed , water , and play with them daily to get them use to us being around. That way when they get big they will follow you around the yard and especially come running when its feed time!

Pictures to follow when I get time!

I have a website, www.leescandles.com, also called www.homeremedysolutions.com (this domain is for sale), where I sell ear candles and accessories. I have handmade and sold ear candles for over 16 years. And I wrote a small book, “Happy Candling and Good Health!”, about ear candling, which includes a history, different types made and sold, and tips for proper usage.

I added Grandma Betty’s Body Butters about 8 years later. I make solid body butter, lip butter and Bug Away from shea butter, coconut oil, vitamin E and essential oil scents. My Bug Away has Eucalyptus and Rosemary plus all the other ingredients used in the body butters and will repel insects for up to 3 hours. Since the body butters are in solid form you can leave them out on an open dish next to your bed, TV, kitchen sink or bath and they will never dry out! You just rub the bar in your hands and the oils come to the surface, then rub the bar anywhere you have dry skin. These are luxurious oils and make your skin so very soft plus the coconut oil is a wonderful healer for the skin. I also have Grandma Betty’s listed on 2nd Avenue of Victorian Heart Shoppe, www.victorianheartshoppe.com/second.html.

In May 2008 I opened my supply shop on Etsy, called RenewedResources.etsy.com. I am into recycling, upcycling, vintage findings, fabric design, making tags etc. I collect feathers from my chickens and guineas and wash them with borax and air dry, then put them up for sell in my shop. I also collect bark and interesting flora from my 3 acres and heat in an oven to kill microbes than either leave natural or coat with a polycrylic and resell.
