    So, I have 10 coturnix quail. They will be 8 weeks on Friday. I had them inside and 3 were crowing.

    I have chicks!!!

    So, I've been a member awhile as I planned to someday get chicks. The day finally came on Friday when I went to our amazing farm and garden center to buy Easter Eggers. To my dismay, I found out they had to be reserved. They had so many adorable chicks there though, so I am now a mixed flock...
