Kind of sad, but they are safer and I built a large hoop house where both pair live.

 hi,  back neighbor! Sitting here with sick baby quail in my lap, hoping it doesn't die. I like you blue lace chicken, I had some until decimated by raccoons. Hope to get some more in the spring.

Baby didn't make it; I think just too warm and dehydrated. I'll try next year. I would love to get some blrw in the spring. I will have my new coop built and room for them along with my crazy turkeys!
