    Any OAMC (Once A Month Cooking) folk here?

    I've been wanting to give it a try, but I'd be a first timer so I'm a bit nervous! I just bought my first house last year, so I don't even have a really well stocked pantry, I'm a bit ashamed to admit it! but my b/f and I both work 50-60 hours a week and I would LOVE to try and do something...

    New to quail

    mine usually lay by the watering hole...but I think it's because that's where they spend most of their time in this heat! always nice to see another AZ peep!

    Savage little beasts!

    they are crafty little ones, aren't they? I had one sneak right past me while I had the pen open for refilling the water...dogs got to it before I could in my experience, it's been best to find the pick-er, not the pick-ee and cull 'em...once I culled the meanies I now have a happy pen full of...

    Hot Hot Hot

    my quail are doing great with just shade and water and we hit 115 the other day...sometimes I throw half a frozen watermelon into the pen for a fun treat, but my quail can handle the heat better than my chickens IMHO...my pen is hardware cloth on all sides so that the heat can escape. not sure...

    Candleing Quail Eggs.....please help

    spikennipper pretty much covered it- I'd add that I bought one of the tiny mag-lite flashlights that takes one AAA battery- they were 6 bucks at the hardware store- when you can get the entire end of the flashlight on the fat end of the egg it should be quite clear...since you store them fat...

    Recipe for pickled quail eggs?

    I am super lazy, so I've just thrown the boiled and peeled quail eggs into a jar of claussen pickle juice after all of the pickles have been eaten. Sometimes for fun I add a few jalapenos to the jar as well. Let them steep in the pickle juice for two weeks and they're pretty darn tasty!

    Behavior question: my girls are developing a BAD habit...

    Quote: I was afraid of that! an interesting idea about the cabbage! I might have to make it a frozen cabbage, cause if I"m putting it in the run at night, it can be 100 degrees overnight here...it might spoil by morning if it's not frozen...but a very cool and creative idea!

    Behavior question: my girls are developing a BAD habit...

    Quote: My coop is very open- in AZ if you have a closed up coop you get cooked chickens in the summertime so it's pretty impossible to block the light, and it's getting light really early here these days. I've looked at a few automatic doors, but the mechanisms I've found online all cost...

    Behavior question: my girls are developing a BAD habit...

    ...into the coop at night so they get a happy surprise that distracts them in the mornings when they wake up? I'm willing to try almost anything at this point!

    Coturnix colors....which ones are best?

    It depends on what you want "best" to mean...best tasting? best behaved? biggest eggs? my 0.02 is that any of them can be mean...in my personal and limited experience I've had tibetans, tibetan tux, goldens, english whites, browns and jumbo browns, and newly- cinnamons. You mention mean...
