Did I mention that I am getting quail eggs in about 2 weeks when I get some room in my bator? Hubby is not too happy but he'll get over it. He said "I think you need to stick to chickens" I told him (he just bought a racecar) that he needed to stick with his four wheeler and sell the race car. He shut up and walked away. I win

Quail eggs?? Details please

 

[sonjab314]

Well, as to the advice of all the fine people on the quail forum, I am going to get some coturnix eggs from a BYC member. Then I am going to raise them up and try to dress some of them. Rather morbid, but I am trying to slowly work my way up to dressing chickens for food. I'm always afraid that God will sprite me for killing one of His fuzzy living creatures

. Although I do eat meat but the only thing I can kill at this point is fish

But why would he create them if he didnt want you to eat them?

I'm not sure if that makes sense...

I know. I'm a "tree hugger". I had to shoot a deer one time while I was a police officer and that really bothered me (although I could shoot a person no problem). I have no issues with other people killing and eating animals, but I can't do it. I am thinking of the quail as food before I ever even get the eggs and I WILL NOT play with the babies other than feeding and watering. It's just a mental hang up with me.
