I will go ahead and step in here...stop ordering eggs. At least for a while. It isn't always the cost of the eggs that gets us, but the shipping prices. If I order from 6 people...that's almost $100 in shipping! And the fact that there is no guarantee if those eggs will hatch makes the money spent a bitter pill to swallow. I just lost out on $95 because all but 2 eggs hatched, then my kitten jumped in the brooder and killed the others.
I was livid.
Stay off of ebay for a little while. Put a block on your computer.
Every birdi owner needs a cat like I got. As long as the chick is in something even if it isn't covered she won't touch it but if it gets loose, it's on. It's a race to see who gets to it first. Most of the time I can just tell her no, but she is a hunter. A good one from the loks of her fat self. She has had a couple breakfasts and dinners of quail but it's because they got out and I didn't catch them all. She even sat on the cage as I was putting aprons on some of the quail and just watched. It actually helped me because the quail froze
when they saw her and stopped fighting me. I was able to get the aprons on easier.
Some moron dropped her off on us one day last year in August. We really didn't want a cat but she hung around and eventually ended up pregnant. WE didn't know she was a she till she was nearly ready to deliver. She had her babies and we got her fixed and found homes for her kids. They where tearing the place up. She now comes and goes as she pleases.
Who ever dropped her off had a great loss because she is a great cat especially since she wasn't trained at all. It's just her personality to be a good girl.
