Big rant from the swap. Turns out the quails we got are Coturnix, NOT bobwhites. So we have 4 males and 2 females! D:

Gotta know your birds and watch who you buy from, they'll tell you anything to get your money.

I know. But I don't mind. They were only $2 each at least. I still like them. I didn't think they looked like bobwhites anyway. Should have went with my instincts.

Well, someone talked me into taking these home with me on Friday! Took Jacob and I about 20 minutes to convert this shelf unit into a quail cage. These are Goldens, White aka Texas A&M and the standard brown Pharoah.

Love ducklings! We raised 2 ducklings some years ago and they were just so much fun. I thought I would die of the giggles the first time we put them in the tub to swim!

Are ducks profitable to have? Or are they another form of yard art

. My daugther would love some but I just don't know what you do with them? I agree they are cutie patoodies! I would love some but I can't put a bunch of money into something that can't give me something in return. I just got an egg turner on the swap page! Now I need a bator.

Oh wow, what awesome quail you have! This was very creative but I hope you get something bigger. They need a little more room. They seriously poo a lot!

from what i hear some people use the eggs for baking. makes everything really good. i myself love them because they are wonderful pets. they don't lay year round but they do lay okay if you get the right kind. plus you can eat them. they are larger then chickens.

Okay. My hatching eggs are way over due. I don't think they are going to hatch. Hatch Day was last Sunday, Feb. 3rd. I have given them extra time, way over extra time. Should I just give up on them? Thinking of cracking one open and see. Any thoughts?


NEVERMIND! They aren't going to hatch. The humidity was WAY to low. :/ The sponges didn't help. I am going to clean it up and seal it up. Going to try again later.

Sorry your hatch didn't go well.

That is always disappointing.
