I'm learning a lot, like who knew quail had two worlds of their own? And when did the New World split from the Old? Which newbie hen got so pecked the whole flock flew the coop?!
Update!! Little Itty Bitty now has 12 not-as-itty-bitty Coturnix friends just a week younger. I had some questions about keeping Itty without a permit, so here's what I found out: you can't just take them from the wild, but if they're truly orphaned, you can both keep a rescue and can purchase...
Hopeful maybe tomorrow! Someone hasn't picked up their order so if they don't come by tomorrow, there are 3-week olds that might be my blessing for Itty Bitty :)
Howdy, folks
This long-time bird lady "retired" when moving. (Who honestly retires from flock love?!?) About a month ago we rescued a clutch of quail eggs (mom was killed). Lo and behold, we have a survivor! Little Itty Bitty is so lonely and the bird lady misses her brood!! Anyone know of quail...
