I've gotten really bad recently.
I had no clue how crazy this hatching business was.

Crazy enough to get me to build a wooden incubator

Funny how you get those shocking reminders of how brutal mother nature can be sometimes, huh? I would’ve done the same thing and been equally as horrified haha.

I once found a very very old chicken who died peacefully in the back of an unused covered nest box. She’s been picked almost totally clean by the flock.

Once I find out that I have both male and female quail I'll be set for life.
No worrying about shipped eggs or having to try to find homes.
I couldn't be happier!

And I will be growing my very own food.
That is extremely cool to me.

Yep they don't want to attract predators... got a clean up the area

This makes so much sense!

This makes so much sense!

I agree. It's pretty neat too.

Kind of sad and funny at the same time. Anyone ever think about what would happen if you passed out in the pen with your chickens? Not a pleasant thought.

Dogs are no different, especially feral dogs. They're so dangerous when desperate. There was a little old lady who lived alone in a town near me. She fell going into her home and no one knew. A pack of feral strays found her and began eating her from the feet up. It doesn't get more horrific than that. They found her something like the next day with almost all the meat removed below her knees. She ended up dying on the table in the OR from I believe shock. It is one of the saddest stories I've ever heard and it makes my heart ache to think about the horror she went through.
