Chicks who don't make it are heart-breaking. Sorry about your recent loss, too. It's hard when pets die—usually helps to remember all the joy they gave us .

thanks... I really hated to lose her and her chick... Especially so suddenly and without warning.... Thank you I hope I can find another hen soon

your photography is amazing!!! I just lost twice

Thank you—it helps to have a decent camera (and to be willing to take a gajillion pictures til you get "the one").

Nobody's lost yet—this is a friendly competition, remember .

We need all the pictures of cute happy quail we can get! They're just really hard to photograph, to be honest (especially those speedy little chicks). I take like a billion pictures just to get one that's in focus (and where they're not actively pooping ).



I'm still not sure what the name for her color is, but I'd be happy to hatch out more like her.

I'm unsure of color, red range? Pretty regardless. I agree, you have to take a gajillion snaps to get one or two good ones

I PM'd @MelissaRose , I've donated 3 Red Golden, 3 Reeves and 3 Bianchi pheasant hatching eggs. Good luck to all the entrants!

Sean how generous of you! Thank you so much

Each person gets two entries. To clarify, @ButtonquailGirl14 you could enter Galaxy and Nova as one and then have another entry because we have other entries with more than one bird, the entries will be judged on how the bird is captured in the photo, and what condition the bird is in. It's up to you.

Er, um both my pics have more than one bird and they don't have names

Your fine. The judges decided it's ok.

It think she just likes the view.

Pheasants are not quail.

Pheasants are not quail.

I know that, I was reading the list of quail he breeds from his signature
