Fertile. (Or just too blurry to tell?)

Did you steal my plate!?

I can't see anything.

I wonder what super suburban people do in their spare time...while we play with preserved dead things

Go to spin class. Wear “athleisure”. Order oatmilk lattes.

Did you get a picture of it?

Yeah. It is so faint it was hard to photograph. Not really a single white dot but not really a defined bullseye. More of a hazy faint circle.

I live in black yoga pants!

Hi all! Sorry I’ve been mia again. Love-hate relationship with summer!

I finished my outdoor hutch! ....more than a month ago. But the quailies love it! I’m glad it didn’t take me any longer to move them outside. I forgot how awfully hot it gets in the garage in summer.

It’s 8’x4’ (‘twas supposed to be only 3’ deep because my arms are short like the rest of me, but I messed up!). All along the back is a 12” sandbox (so 1/4 of the total area).
I had to fence out the bottom to stop my silly dog from terrorizing them from underneath.
The kids can collect the eggs and give them treats all by themselves, and so far they’ve always managed to catch them again when they escape while the door is open.
I ended up culling the last of my males because they were so loud they kept me awake at night...and I don’t want to risk keeping neighbors awake! Wishing I had a bigger yard once again...

Not the same. I feel “athleisure” implies some high end pricey pseudo-athletic wear. Black yoga pants just make good sense.

It looks great.

I have the exact same dog problem.
I have chairs blocking the underneath part right now until I can figure out how to fix the problem.
But actually my dogs don't bother the quail... They like to pull the poop trays down.

No. It appeared to have died right after morning check and was ripe this evening. To the compost pile. Which hasn't heated up with the coop cleanout material. Imagine a blister covering most of the sternum. No idea how I missed this. All appear fine but the runt who doesn't move much. Something is wrong.

Anyway, the white ones are smaller than the parents and are 8 weeks old. Smaller than the jumbos, so they don't make the breeding program. Jumbos are 4 weeks. Can't imagine them getting larger, but …! 4 week old quail almost the size of the 8 week old chickens.
