    So, after a good amount of Vodka

    I butchered my first quail... Thanks to the vodka I felt pretty confidant, I knew I was raising these birds for meat, and I knew I'd have to be the one who does the dispatching because DH said it's YOUR hobby, you do it...

    Getting flack for killing our meaties -- and need some reassurance!

    Quote: I think it's also how you are raised. Most of my hispanic friends don't have a problem with me raising birds for meat, even expect it when they see my chickens, but most of my other friends give me the stink eye and say "how can you kill something you raised? It's a pet!" *sigh*

    My birds are getting older!!

    I have 30 coturnix quail in a 7'x4' pen... I've started to notice that the girls are starting to purrr... and I'm starting to notice a few of them missing head feathers. Is this just normal behavior, or do i need to split them into different groups? I'll have three of these 7x4 pens when I'm...

    Hot Hot Hot

    I put some 2 liter soda bottles filled with water in the freezer, then stick it out in the pen after they froze, they love to lean up against them! Also, someone mentioned that dust bathing helps them keep cool too! Good luck!

    I have the same cup... but in terms of the incubator, I use two shallow wide bowls (like for breakfast) and a spounge... Also, did you calibrate your hygrometer? that helps determine the real humidity... Good luck!!

    Recipe for pickled quail eggs?

    I hope you have a great vacation! Are you in CA? I thought I saw somewhere you were looking for permits, if you get them would you be allowed to have the quail? I understand about having to live with neighbors... but maybe figure out what neigbor complained and move the birds to the other side...

    I'd leave them both for another week, wouldn't hurt right? Just mark them with a ? and check again to see if there was any changes... if not, toss em... Just MHO.

    Recipe for pickled quail eggs?

    Hrm... Well, the recipe says to ladle the brine and spices into the jars, so I think it's safe to assume you can leave the onions in there, of course if you wanted to you could remove them, but it's probably part of the waiting process to infuse all of the flavors. the onlions would just get...
