➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[BantyChooks]

From a discussion I had this morning, you don't even need those. You can use your bare hands. :

I've never done that and don't think I could, however.

Edit: Okay, if I were starving and had no other tools to do the job with, I could.

In my defense, I only did that a few times. I generally use pipe cutters. Does the job cleaner.

Sounds familiar. I was thinking, "I like the idea of emus!" That lasted about 30 seconds. I was a definite "no" when out of curiosity I checked to see how much space they need.

Emus are on my bucket list. Someday, when I have the space, I'll get them.

Mostly kidding before, btw. Don’t worry, I have more self control than that.

Though I did see these....

Would they work for offing quailies?

Probably shouldn’t be so chipper saying that.

They'll work awesomely!

Only if I was near starving & then I'm sure most rules of humanity will go right out the window!

I can be like that. I saw some people hatching emu eggs on here. I was like ...oh emu eggs, I think I need to hatch emu eggs... Then I waited a minute and was like what the heck an i thinking! I don't need freaking emus! LMAO!

Ikr, emus, yay!!!!!
No! Don't do it, it's a trick! My DH would have me committed!

The female will be used to me handling her by the end of the week...

Is it bad that I didn't notice a problem with her legs?
What are the signs & symptoms? Don't they all have scaly legs?

I think 2026 is the year of EMU hatching....

Also I do want to say.... I really don’t think I need to justify buying a few $1 mugs lol or that it makes me a hoarder...

Especially since this is something I actually do need. Unlike most things I say that about.

But I will agree on the online shopping being a problem and I definitely didn’t need a new phone case or the other mugs

But the cheap ones in the store are not the problem aha

But also even if they were... none of you guys have ever bought anything “unnecessary” or “extra” or something you didn’t need or whatever? Not once? Ever?

Don’t worry there’s still quite a few people out there that don’t realise quails can get scaly leg. It’s pretty much just the scales on the legs become raised and sometimes have a yellow crust under them because of the leg mites under them.

Quite a common thing in all poultry really but so easy to treat. Super easy to treat compared to other mites and are less quickly spread too.

A lot of birds can get raised scales when they are moulting though and people worry their birds have scaly leg when they don’t

Great! Thanks!

And the scales are way raised up instead of flat and smooth. Scaly leg mites.

How are you treating yours?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Oh also they weren’t impulsive. It’s something I’ve been meaning to buy for a while/planned but kept putting it off.

Despite her neglected legs...she’s beautiful

On amazon.......
I put items I'm interested in my cart...... leave them there for a few days...... go back and sort through the items...... some I'll delete, some I'll save for later & fewer yet get purchased. That's one way that helps me not do impulse buying, let it sit for a few days in the cart to see if you reconsider. That might help you with online impulse buying.
