➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I have one tiny pip about three hours ago. Just a little tiny piece of shell knocked loose, now I’m getting paranoid because that itty bitty bit of membrane is dry and no zip. It is going to be a long night!

It will be ok...just don't stay up...make sure you sleep tonight because you will need to be up tomorrow night.

A long two nights then. I don’t have to work on Monday so I can be a zombie. Lol

it’s been another crazy spring weekend! thursday night we took the camper back to its home on the river....Friday we brought boat home to park by the house so we can complete spring maintenance and cleaning (took a couple trips as hubby lost hitch pin keys and had to cut it off) then did supply shopping and started rebuilding fence that was damaged and dog was digging under! Today we finished fence with 10” concrete trench (to keep dogs in and predators out). I also took some of the good dirt and pea gravel for the dust bath holes and my tub along with some fresh clover to the run for the quail!! Then we worked on opening the pool and my koi pond. I completed lockdown while hubby was getting his shower. Needless to say I’m pretty wiped out tonight!! Depending on how accurate weather man is, we’re hoping to get posts set and framing done on the deck extension tomorrow.

I’m exhausted just reading about it all!

I cut out the lumber and made the lap joints for my first Suskovich chicken tractor. I ought to have finished the whole thing but I started kind of late on account of playing with cows—well, brushing, which for me is playing. They line up and jostle one another for their turn. So cute.

They’re not really fighting... just messing around.

Anyway, I think I can get it done tomorrow—not that I can use it yet. I got my meaties Wednesday, so they may need to stay in the garage a *couple* more weeks... Then I need one for my layers and a third for the turkeys to come. I’m so glad to have a couple warm days!

They look like big puppy dogs.
