One thing is troubling me. When I put one of the tiny chicks in with her, she ignored it. It cried, and tried repeatedly to get under her.

I need to gush about Jim again. He was in the back of the garden with a mom and two chicks. One mom was outside the fence, with the other chicks, scratching in compost. He saw me, and made a noise. Suddenly, seven chicks were running at me, and all three adults were walking calmly behind them. He was showing ( grooming!) the babies where I had tossed scratch in another direction.

@fisherlady and @BullChick both have celedon quail egg orders filled.
Who's next?
Cost is about $15 for shipping and the packing materials for 30 eggs.

Watch what you ask for. It is not a bad thing in this situation, but I find it funny. I said six chicks, but came home with eight. One got crushed, and one is a cockerel. I now have six. Okay, seven until butcher day.

I said six chicks, then reduce the number to 5. Should I expect 6 to show up in the box?

I have been having coffee with my peeps for several days now. This morning, I had to rescue a chick out of the feeder. After it was done yelling at me, it chased me because it knows where the scratch comes from!
As I sat in my chair, one LH chick had a thing for my slippers. It kept sitting on my foot and running across it. As funny as that was, it then started digging underneath for any stray scratch. I am glad I can enjoy its antics. I am being shown by the two LH that I was right. Leghorn chicks are jerks! They are only alright if a broody takes them.

… Cher the silly broody is still parked. I didn’t think it was possible for her to wake up, and die right.

After auctioning away most of my boys, I still have 12 chickens (5 are bantams). Looking at a supplemental coop today... I do have one D'uccle boy if anyone is interested.
