Same here.

Here they are trying to hide between DHs big fingers.  I have tiny little hands, and wear rings sized 5, but he has man hands, for a good comparison.  They are eating, drinking and pooping, so I'm a happy quail mama today.  The girls are ecstatic, and love them immensely.

Those are pretty much precious.

I just heard the ducks raising a ruckus.  Hubby and I happened to be sitting out on the patio.  When we ran over there I found the Ancona male trying to mate with a Silver Appleyard.   She is obviously not full grown.  Can this hurt her?  Here are pics of her size.

She's a tad bigger than the full grown mallards.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

I personally would not let the breed yet. IMO he's too big for her right now

Awesome, QJ! I can't wait!!

Just finished eating dinner. My dear husband made a feast and bought me a coffee espresso drink... I guess he had a premonition that I would be up all night again.

Getting ready to chip away at African more.
