I hate it when fancy words are used wrong. Hard to keep a straight face. Occasionally, I learn a new one.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Most people won't ask you what you mean. Most.

The quail are slowing the laying down for whatever reason. Was getting 8 eggs from 12 lovely ladies. Tonight we have 5 eggs. Oh, to start incubation or not. We start.

I agree!! Also.... I love that movie!!

When the kids were younger, we had fun teaching them new words. They picked up on the game quickly. Learned fast and started reading. Been informed that we have a weird family. I'm so proud!

I eventually want like 15-20 or possibly even more. Definitely more than 10. I don’t think 10 would be enough. I used to think I wanted like 50 or 100 or 1000 for the privacy and the space but that’s way too much work and also I don’t think I want to be quite that isolated haha

But I think like 20 would be good lol

That’s awesome!! Not sure what’s so weird about teaching them lots of words/establishing a big vocabulary and encouraging them to read! Haha

It's a real estate organization similar to Zillow or Trulia. Check out www.Redfin.com. I have their app on my phone and saved search criteria so I get always when properties that sit my interest come onto the market.

Thanks!! I’ll gave to check that out. I have heard of the other two but not Redfin. Is it more specific to land or just a better app or?

Ok...I'd just mix up one batch daily with only a gallon of water.
@casportpony can you link your article here please... The Corid one.

Ok thanks. What do I do with the old corid water? Just dump it in the yard where things can't get runoff?

@BReeder! you have created a Redfin addict.

Tbh I think I’m mostly just in love with the pool and the kitchen in the second one though

And to get back to quail (sorry, don’t mean to derail yet again ), this might seem like a stupid question, but how many eggs do they lay per day? Just one like chickens? Cause I thought I read once that they were pretty prolific and could sometimes lay like two a day? Maybe I am remembering wrong or that is a myth? Just trying to figure out how many I might need if I wanted to sell some of the eggs and keep some.

And yes I know I would need to factor in all the possible boys I could get but I mean like adults/mature ones once I’ve already dealt with that.

Although also actually that said, can you keep just female quails without the males? Will they still lay like chickens do or is it different with game birds??

Just don’t know if people would buy or eat fertilized quail eggs?

I suppose before I do anything though I should work on the real job bit and/or finish all the chicken and garden projects/chores I have to do first.

But I’m hoping maybe I can finally get quail at least before the new year. Or at least start incubating them before then.

But if not then I guess I will have to wait.

I’m cool with that too.

Actually, might be better to not have to deal with a new species for the first time during winter. Might be best to wait a while and get used to having them first before winter hits. But idk. I guess we’ll see. Guess it depends on how fast I get all the other stuff done first.

There, I went way back on topic ha probably mostly stupid questions but trying to be sure of this stuff first.
