➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Pennys Mama]

I still vote Tibetan. Hims not growing?
Have you checked his butt?

He is growing but most of the others were born a couple few days before him, my hatch lasted Monday till Friday. Longest hatch ever!!! These were most of the last hatch outs.

Oh, his butt is clean, eating & pooping.

Okay so.... I was doing my regular thing messing with my light cage/taking pictures then I came inside to take a break.

What I didn't is lock one of the doors.

I usually leave them both unlocked while I'm standing there messing with them because I go back and forth between each door to get pictures.


I look out the window and my dog is running happily through the yard with the quail in his mouth.


I run out there screaming at Kim to drop it and he does.
I could not believe he dropped it.
I grabbed my net and chase the little thing around for a second and I caught it.

I was terrified to even look at it because I thought for sure it was going to be totally screwed up.
I immediately called my back up helper and we helped the poor quail.

After helping it I noticed it only had one silly puncture wound on the chest.

I could have probably not butchered him this soon but he was on my butcher list anyways and I felt sorry and just in case I went ahead and did it.

Oh no!! Glad you got him although it apparently didn’t matter anyway ha if he was on the list though it’s probably better to just do it now rather than help him although didn’t you check for injuries before offing him?

Yes he has this little mark on his chest:

Here is yesterday's ER patient...Mr. Nasty Eye
He won't keep still but he looks a whole heck of a lot better.

Ohhhh okay. I thought you said you offed him first then discovered after that his injuries weren’t that bad. I must have misread it haha

Yes...that's right.
I didn't check until after.

I misunderstood.
