My new quail

Nice! Out in the open or hidden?

I wouldn't say "hidden" but kind of under some hemlock branches.

Update time! My quail have been laying like crazy! Today I pickled 77 quail eggs. After trying my trial batch last week, my CSA buddy has committed to purchasing 2 cases a month. So I will be pickling once a week about 70 eggs. I am getting $100 a case. Sweet! This will put my monthly farm expenses in the green. Which makes me VERY happy, and very fond of my quail.

I have also spent a bunch of time this week hangin in the quaviary and have identified all my males. Turns out I have four. I zip tie banded their legs for ID. I will try and get pictures of them tomorrow.

Got some photos of my male and everyone else today. These quail have been pumping out eggs and making me $$$. On the flip side the most dreaded task on my little homestead has become peeling quail eggs! Very much tedious.
The quail are hilarious and adorable. I love sitting in their area watching them utilize the tree branches and stuff. I have been turning/adding litter every 3 weeks or so. So far have used sod, last years leaf mulch from the garden and good old dirt and hardly notice any smell. Anyway, onto the pics. Start with some group.

...can't see me

@RoosterML here's the 4 males
