➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

Thanks! I wish they'd get their feathers straight! I don't like not know for sure what they are. Do they need to be paired up or can they stay in a covey till spring?

They will most likely be ok until spring, hormones will kick in and all heck can break loose. If given a large enough enclosure they can do fine in a community type enclosure.
Another week maybe two, the females should start getting their buff color.
The one on the left looks like it might be a female.

I was FREEZING today!! I’m normally not cold but lately have been getting cold ha
Today I could not get warm! The house was so cold and outside was cold and it was bone chilling! I actually got kinda sick from it ha felt awful.
Mostly better now.
I walked for miles in the wind and cold earlier too though and the wind blew right on my face at some points ha it was awful. That probably didn’t help.
Anyway, realistically, I probably should have just taken a hot shower to warm up my bones then turned the heat up in the house but instead I chose to put a t shirt and shorts on and walk around barefoot.
That’s probably why I was so cold.
I have at least been smart and wearing a coat, hat, and gloves lately though hah
But still.
It’s too cold. And when I step outside it is so dang cold and raw and downright frigid.
Could you take your arctic air back please?

I H.A.T.E. the cold!!!
I love snow, but I want it to be warm or hot even outside. I can't have both, obviously, so I pick warmth!!!
Cold just makes the body ache so much worse than "normal".
Anyways, I'm glad for all our rain lately, because I can burn brush & leaves & etc, and that makes the cold a bit more tolerable.

I’m the same way! I thought I hated heat but this cold is just so bone chilling and yes! Makes me ache! Haha

I think I need to move somewhere warm. I’m ready. I think this winter will be a real winter again unlike the last few

How big is their enclosure?

We must be related. There's snow on the ground outside, and I have the window open... and I'm wearing short sleeves.

What do you have on over your short sleeved shirt?

What do you have on over your short sleeved shirt?

a parka. Maybe a bear skin rug for warmth.

I stole Conan's rug not Banty so it has to be a parka or this:

If she’s anything like myself, nothing!

Banty has her own body heat to keep her warm
