We have always trained our dogs to leave and be gentle with small animals. Hamsters, gerbils, ferrets...which was a worry as our dogs are jack russell X daschy and Jack Russell X beagle....snakes, ghekos, guinea pigs, chickens and now our quails. We held them while they wandered around the floor...
No suppliment lighting. But they seem to lay as soon as the weather gets a little warmer. Their housing is spacious with a large indoor area, they are coming up for a year old. Ohhh yeah maybe xx
So it seems its moulting time for bobwhites and calis. Seems to have brought grumpy behaviour too? That normal? They aren't massively fighting, just grumpy pecks to all the others!

So if some of you remember, we posted these cortinex eggs... English whites. I said the orange circled one was different. So we had a great hatch of 5....the weird egg hatched and it was this little beauty!!! The others are yellow, with a touch of brown here and there.. Now turning white. So...
We thought our English white and cali girls were good layers.....till we got the jumbo cortinex!!!! Wow!!!! Some lay 2 a day!! And amazing sized eggs too!! The very first we broke open was a double yolker!!
