My cheap butt just puckered at that price!But I think that about a lot of stuff.
I wouldn't have spent the money but I got it as my one special treat for myself with my annual bonus from work. The rest paid bills and bought coop materials for the chickens I'll be hatching next.
I guess I did that too. But I bought a robotic vacuum with mine!
Apparently the quail have begun crowing.
Five weeks tomorrow.
I have a kitchen scale, but its in a box somewhere in the basement since we moved over 2 years ago. I have limited kitchen storage unfortunately, so a lot of our kitchenware has remained unpacked. Perhaps I'll try to find the scale this weekend.Go weigh a jumbo for me
Go buy a scale if you don't have one.
Amazon has a folding scale that fits in the silverware drawer.
I keep hearing/reading about quail being suicidal and drowning. I have not had these problems yet at all. As for aggression, the certainly are "jerkwads" towards each other.Here are a couple things I’ve learned about quail in the last couple months:
1)Leaving overhead lights on for too long doesn’t allow them to properly rest and they become aggressive.
2)Letting them get too hot causes them to be aggressive.
3)Not one single quail that became weak during the first 7 days of life survive past 2 weeks of age.
4)Allow ample access to food and water at all times. Because they will trample each other and drown each other to get to food and water.
5) They are dumb and like killing themselves.
6) They drown in the shallowest of water.
7)Putting water straight from the sink into their waterers make them too cold then they pile up and smother each other.
8)Overcrowding them makes them aggressive.
9)They are jerkwads to each other.
I’m sure my issues were magnified because I had large hatches and I assumed they would be pretty similar to brooding ducks. The breed I picked (bobwhites) could also come into play with above observations.
