YAY!!!!!
So glad he's home.He's home!!
One of the police officers we spoke with last night saw him this morning. The dept called us at 6am & said the officer was right outside our house. The dog was found about 5 mi from here, but only 1 mi from where we were last night. I'm sure it was a very rough night. He was cold and wet.... and will need a bath.
As soon as he came inside, he ran around to each bedroom to wake each kid up with kisses, then laid down by DD and fell asleep. It's 9am and the 2 are still sleeping.
I think crooked toes are more of a hatch and early development issue than a genetics issue. At this point I am also blaming my incubator for the lack of feet as well as the unhatched eggs and early deaths... that hatch was just a mess. I'm hoping to figure it out before incubating quail eggs, which I want to do soon since my quailies are laying well.
Happy to hear the dog is back home.He's home!!

Because I want to breed our quail, I did some research on breeding. I would say grandfather-granddaughter us acceptible if there's nk prior inbreeding. This would require to breeding pair to start, cross the second generations with each other, then breed the third generation with the first. After that the first generation needs to be taken out of the breeding group. They would be retired or moved to another breeding group. With quail they would be ready for freezer camp, but chickens and turkeys live longer.
