How goes the Babies ?

Whats the latest update.....

 

[satay]

Hey Sam
The babies are going really well. I am going to take them outside for some grass time later on today when it warms up a bit more. Will do my best to get some decent pictures of all 5 of them then. The light in the office here places havock with my camera so can't really get any good inside pics.
Thanks for the heads up on the quails. Better not add any new lines for now or hubby might kill me lol. Red may like them though.

 

[IamSamSam]

lol Yeah I hit hubby up for a roo for a few months to get babies there is a french wheaten marran roo free down the road !

I figured you guys were talking about them and the photo was lovely ! have a look at the add and you can see egg size comparison !

Was soo cool

Mine lay pretty large eggs. It's hard to tell from the pictures. I may just email her to see what size she says they are.
Generally females need to be over 300gms at 6 weeks of age to be classed as jumbo and I think eggs need to be 16gm min weight. Quails are cool regardless of size or weight and I love how they are so excited to see you when you go into the pens in the mornings unlike some of my ungrateful other poultry lol

Would be interesting to see how they compare...

And I couldnt help adding this - I figure its photoshoped but it was too adorable
