Hey all you chicks and chooks, egg collectors and feather fluffers! I missed you all. I am back after 8 years and wow has it been a ride. We moved from Idaho to Florida, from a farm to an apartment. Kids grew up, I got a degree, and we bought a home with two acres yesterday in rural Florida and...

Actually I never really left, I am on FB a lot and watch a lot of bird topics there. I live in Fruitland bark now, not sure if I left you all a note that i was still around. I live in an apartment for now but in a year or so we will be settling in hopefully in a house with an acre or two. I sure...

We successfully moved to Florida. I found new homes for all my critters just fine. But I do miss them so! So I hope I can hang out on here with all of my BYC friends and watch your pictures and stories, until I can again get more quail and chicky-poos. We moved into an apartment so of course no...

I had a lot of fun with this incubator. I bought it new in January 2010, have hatched out of it 5 batches of Coturnix quail. There is nothing wrong with it, it has been the easiest incubator in the world to use. It has all its parts. I don't know what happened to the instructions but you can...

My adult birds from my very first hatch of JJ's eggs back in January, have been living outside in their revamped rabbit hutch pen. They love the pen, it has a 4' run and a hidey-hole box where in the chilly new year I had a light on in there for them. I took that out a month and a half ago. It...

So I have 12 meaties now! They feel like little sumo wrestlers, the store has had them about a week and so they are big sized chicks. I also got two polish for my daughter so she'd forgive me for MORE birds lol. i have them in the shed with a light on them, food in front and fresh water. Since...

That was my first thought while I looked at the two birds out by the water dish. Then I looked harder and realized they were twice the size of my cots! they had a purplish breast and two black eye stripes, and were really pretty, they then noticed me in the house and hurried off towards the...

I was cruising ebay, just looking, I swear. What is a Manchurian Quail? When I looked harder at the pic they sure looked identical to my golden coturnixes.. http://cgi.ebay.com/35-Manchurian-Golden-Quail-Hatching-Eggs_W0QQitemZ130378108635QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e5b240edb

When I told the quail I was pickling eggs today I guess it made one of 'em's ovaries churn.. I thought about posting this egg pic with the pretty eggs pic but then I didn't want to ruin appetites lol

mmm mmm can't wait to try them. I also posted the pic on the original recipie page but was afraid you other quail folk wouldn't get to see my fruity labors lol https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=3876087#p3876087

I know it's the same pic from the "what breed is this" but I wanted to share them here too. Unless the mods don't likey.. Meet Tar Baby and Teddie Duck! Thet will be future freinds for Miss Draminoe Duck!

Just to pick up pine shavings! but omg cute baby duckies.. I had to get one..or two...but not three that would be like an addiction and harder to explain to my DH.. So, I have a Tar Baby and a Teddie Duck now. Thought the names up on the way home! What do you think they are? The lable said "...

The girls are getting better at laying all their eggs in one place. But this morning, one of them forgot to put the shell on the egg! I know on occasion chickens do the same thing, I find a skin egg with no shell. Reminds me of reptile eggs. I know they aren't calcium deficient or all the eggs...

I had 16 roos that were eating and fighting a LOT. So, it was week 10 for them, and I decided to process. After reading a couple of posts on how to, I had hubby dispatch the first one, then after I plucked and evicerated, I did the second. I tore the skin on that one so peeled the skin off after...

They are starting to lay! Hooray! So, lessee.. born on Jan 24th, to today March 11, that is 7.5 weeks. I am sure they would have started a bit earlier if I hadn't moved them outside outside to the new big pen.

My coturnix eggs from Uglyduck are due to hatch soon. When I look into the hatcher with a flashlight I see one egg just jazzing out! I thought maybe I was shaking the bator but when I quit touching it I see the egg still rock n' rolling! awesomeness, I haven't seen this before!

So, I have a tibetian hen with a white throat getting ridden by a golden male! I saw the other white throated tibetian crowing, which is why I did a double-take because I thought it was the same tibetian lol
