I wasn't sure about starting this thread. I mean why don't I just post on the many other chat threads? But then I think of @ShrekDawg..... and remember its fine :lau


I wanted to start this thread to post about whatever I am up to! Homesteading, crafts and being visually impaired 😆 .

My mother is also part of the homesteading sometimes she helps, sometimes she hinders😆.Seriously though she does help more then hinders because I am very limited in energy and ability to do things 🥲

I also have 3 brothers and one "adopted" friend. Who is one of my brothers friends but he comes to stay and help around the place sometimes, whether my brother is there or not 🤣

Animals

We have 4 spoilt indoor cats, Thea, Minou, Pudding and Koji

4 dogs
-Twiggy who is part LGD but is just a pet and a deterrent
-Fanta who is my assistance dog, she is slowly retiring from work at the wonderful age of 2 years old :he
-Pikelet the "little" pet dog who was also supposed to do dog sports but has behaviour and leg issues
-Pepsi who is in training to be my assistance/guide dog

4 chickens, Hendreen, Eggatha, flossy and kangaroo. Originally we did not want egg hybrids but then my mother suddenly went we are going to get chickens tomorrow 🙃 at least they lay blue eggs!

We did have 4 more chickens for a short amount if time when once again my mother told me we are going to get chickens! At least these ones where free, came with feeders and desperately needed a home. Sadly though they slowly one by one past away, I have no idea how old they where and they where also hybrids :idunno

Quail lots of quail! Will put more details about them in another post

4 Ferrets for ratting and 12 little ones right now :th, Belinda, Hobson, Peaches and one we are selling

And last but not least 3 sheep! I will also post more about them later and the pictures because this is has gotten very long. The dogs what there breakfast too!

Edit: I forgot to say this is a chat thread, not just a homestead thread so it can't really be derailed!

The keeper quails. All of them are females which of course is only a minor issue when you are breeding quails... I can't remember who comes from/is related to who anymore and I don't think I wrote it down anywhere 🥲.

I don't know what these colours are called some are supposed to be pansy (I think 3 are?) I will be keeping track to try and work out the genotype because quail colour names seem to be a mess

They're gorgeous! I know nothing about quail colours, they seem as equally complicated as chickens 😅
