Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Just think of it had been a lemon meringue pie

The chickens would not have liked that the next morning like they did cherry pie.

There is a pumpkin pecking photo contest, let’s see those hen pecked pumpkins!

Guys I got some exiting news! I reached out to a California Valley Quail breeder who was ready to be done and he was selling everything. His huge breeding cage, his pair, his two remaining males from his last hatch, and all of his supplies! I'm going to start breeding them in April or May once they start laying! Here they all are on their way to the aviary!

My quail army is growing! Mwah ahahaha

For Pony Sunday I have some locals I spotted on the security camera.
The ones passing through are heading up to the oak trees to forage on acorns. I have no idea what the one outside the bedroom window is looking for!

That looks like it would be good on a grill
They are so beautiful and elegant!

I thought you were in a Italy?

And I thought you were downsizing?

How big do those birds get?

Yes I live in Italy, they are called California Valley Quail or California Quail.

And I thought you were downsizing?

Yes with my chickens, these guys will be in my aviary. My mom doesn't really care what I do with that. I've actually been making some profit from the zebra finches! I'm planning on down sizing my zebra finch colony so I can get some other varieties along with my breeding pairs of zebra finches.

How big do those birds get?

They are actually at full size, they are a little smaller than coturnix quail! Although they fly and that's why they will do great in my aviary!

I am still surprised that your zebra finches breed so readily. I have no experience with them but still I am surprised.

Well good luck with your cali quail
