I love things that make me luagh , I am chroniclly ill and I am in pain all day everyday and luaghter is some super good effective medicien

I totally agree. I am not in pain all the time, but sometimes have anxiety. Laughter is great medicine!! Thats why I got my silly, dumb polish hen. I look at her and one shake of her mop top makes me smile.

Quail are super cute. Depending on what type youll need a brooder , heat and water and food, game bird starter is best but unmedicated chick starter is ok if you really cant get the other. They are itty bitty when they hatch and need there food ground up for them I blend mine in a blender on grind. If its jumbo brown quail / cortunix , They can be meat birds. only takes 8-10 weeks if I remmber or you can eat there eggs , There funny and if you handle them gentley and talk softly to them they tend to be really mellow my son totes mine around alot lol only a couple of the roos mind.







Dont forget marbles or something in there water dish.. I have had a few of the little buggers drown themselves they just sticke there heads right in tere and lay down in the water

those are just cute arent they! are they about the size of serama at hatch?

Serama chicks are a tad bigger but not to much unless its button or bob white quail then think marbles with legs.

Gabrille, I have the same problem with pain. It's nice to smile sometimes. These chickens give me such happiness.

*Snort!* My sister had ducks in her dining room and none of us were phased one bit. Rather stoked, actually..."Duckies!!!" Do you ever forget that there are people who don't get it? Cuz I forget, and in my world, a house being a barn is normal
You guys rock and your pics are awesome! Bright blessings and happy hatching to everyone, & thanks for brightening my day
