We've got them running all over our property, but I've never been able to find a nest. :th

Back now and catching up. I spent all day driving to and from the Bay Area to try out and buy a new violin. I may have to go out and serenade the chickens now. Those button quail are adorable. I can't imagine how tiny those eggs must have been.

When they jump . . . :love

I love hatch day. :love

My husband always did the deed and I thought handing the birds to him to kill was hard. Then, last year, he hurt his hand before butcher day and I had to, ah, get more involved. I almost dropped the first chicken, and was shaking pretty hard after it was done. Very glad his hand is healed...

Why do you like the ceramic reptile heat bulbs better? I may need to invest in some. Ditto that. For areas near the electrical part, I use a can of compressed air to blow the fluff out. I like sitting it in sunshine for a few hours too. They are easy and fun to raise and tasty to heat...

:wee Excellent hatch!

Yeah man. I need my hatching fix.
