Hey NFC, how is work going? I am excited about the hatch, the eggs were old and i didn't expect many to develop, which is why i set so many eggs!

That is why I have 27 hatch last week!

Do you sell your quail Ron?

Sorry about that Shad. Hope Myth will be ok.

Yeah, she's okay thx N F C.
She isn't a very well liked hen. She seems to upset the rest. She had a difficult start. She is a bantam, but she lives with the Hybrids. She did originally live with Tribe 2 (all bantams) but fell out with Blue Spot over sitting on eggs. Myth sees a pile of eggs and sits. It doesn't matter if they are her eggs or not. Worse still is she is the baby killer.
Anyway, she moved in with her half sister and sometimes roosts with her and at other times roosts with the rest of Tribe 3. Now Blue Spot is gone she's showing signs of moving back in with the bantams. We shall see.
She's got a few feathers ripped out and a couple of cuts on her comb. Gedit who she fought with is not at all vindictive. She makes her point and calls it a day so I'm not expecting any more trouble.

Where'd you get the wild boar Shad? Is that a grocery item there or something someone hunted & gave you? Does it taste the same as pork, or is it a bit gamier?

I don't buy shop meat normally. This lot came from the guys down the track and they got it from people they know who night hunt on the next mountain.
I'm not very good at describing taste. It doesn't really taste like pork at all to me, but that's probably because I can only compare it to the pork I used to buy in the supermarket or butchers. I like it. It tends to be much darker meat and nothing like the amount of fat I would normally associate with pork.

Work is going ok. The restaurant has been busier than last year so that's good. We get the majority of biz from a refinery not far away and last year they were tied up all summer working on safety projects & inspections. Now that's over, the guys can get away for lunch again.

I like young wild boar when it's cleaned and dressed right. If it's an old animal, or if the meat isn't soaked overnight in ice cold water to draw out the blood it tastes gamey. Otherwise it's a lean meat and tastes good roasted over a pit of coals.

Not yet!

I might later but this is the first hatch from the adults. Someone wants some eggs to hatch in a couple of months which is exciting!
