Awesome! Where do you source your eggs? I would like to try quail and pheasant but hear so many nightmare stories about buying 50 eggs and only a handful were viable when they arrived.

I got these eggs from my adult birds. I haven't really bought chicks or eggs, but I have seen ads for them on a website called gumtree (I think it's like craigslist). Some other people may have a better idea of where to source eggs

Very sad news, the chick died last night

I have no idea what was wrong, it was okay earlier in the day. I've realized now that it had been slower for the last couple of days.

I only had it for four days, but I always end up getting attached.

I'm so sorry.
