Coturnix Quail - The Good and The Bad

[MissPrissy]

Mine free range and roost with the goats. They gave up their coop of their own accord so I got more chickens.

I would never let them in to roost with my chickens. They cross breed. I do not want any of those ugly things hatching around here.

Marlin, mail yourself to the address you sent the chestnuts to last Christmas. I'll set another plate.

Have you ever had one cross breed? Everything I have read, says only in lab with AI has this occured, I have seen the Roos Chasing(and catching) the guinea hens, but no UGLY guineas here.

If I thought no one would notice me missing from dinner I would be there, but family comes from Ohio and Connecticut for that weekend for dinner at our house, so I would probably get noticed, but now that I think about it, I would have a full belly when I got home, so I wouldnt care about getting caught.

I guess I should have said no Uglier than usual guineas

Guineas can cross breed with chickens and pheasants and peafowl.

I caught one of my roosters trying to have fun with one of my 6 week old guineas. I was there and yelled at him to leave her alone. She's not even laying yet. I have 9 of them.

How do you tell boys from girls?

Miss Prissy,

So sorry that you found that today. I hate when I find one of mine dead. (happened a couple times). Horrible.

Not really, especially after seeing firsthand the boy's "smooth moves". Sheesh
