This was my very first hatch of Quail, over a decade ago...

ADORABLE! We're they egg potatoes as well (see what I did there)? What kind of quail were/are they?

I believe so too. It's partly why it makes me so sad to know that Kolovos won't be here for much longer. It also makes me sad to think about the bantam girls losing Napoleon. Cruella wasn't too close to him, though she definitely experienced some grief, but I know Ursula felt it deeper. She was really close with him

They can go into full blown molt, stop eating, get very depressed, etc... it's sad to watch.

Bobwhite Quail! I kept several outdoor aviaries and flight pens full of them. So much fun to keep and raise!

Oh they're beautiful quail! And really loud, if I remember correctly from a video you linked on another thread!

Fluffy, see that steam on my machines window? That's what you should be seeing too on yours.

Yes they are loud! Very shrill! I miss keeping them, lost my last boy a few years ago, he was 7.5 years old.

Yup, nothing even close to that on mine! I can feel the difference in humidity as soon as I open the lid, but no condensation

Oh, I'm so sorry

Well maybe yours just doesn't work that way due to venting. We will soon find out!

Thanks! He was a pretty special boy.
