    Yes. Thank you. Bertha was the grand champion pullet at our county fair. She is impressive because of her size - and more growing yet to come. She’s going to be a huge hen.

    I'm always amazed at how tiny quail are at hatch. Of course these are jumbo coturnix, so they'll be adults and laying in less than 2 months. PS- If anyone wants quail, just send me a PM

    Still feeling the guilt and sadness from the loss of our beautiful MaiMai. We checked throughout the day but no luck. I carefully looked through the feathers left behind and noticed a little skin attached. Poor Xansie is not herself. She's not really eating (unless treats) nor "talking" Her...
