So i have...HAD seven little button quail chicks and they are a two weeks old.
they have been doing great everyone is healthly; everyone is getting along, learning;growning.
i have them in a cage i made and it has two sections that i can close independently, one side has the water and play area and the other is nest sleeping area; all build with the greatest of care so that they cant get caught some where..;heck i even put Bubble wrap on the ceiling so they dont hurt their little noggins.
BUT yesterday, i open the nesting side to check them out and the babies all made a run of it, 6 ran to the other section with their parents but one made a b-line stright at me and the open door and doing like most people would do, instead of using my hand to keep him from getting out, NO being an idiot I slammed the door shut and i wasnt fast enough and he got crushed in the door..
No no no no i keep saying to my self; WHAT have you done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! quickly i opened and then he proceeded to die in my hands...
i buried him in my back yard last night, do you think the mother quial knows there is one missing?
im a terrible Breeder
