Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Granny Hatchet]

well, guess im not that far gone then. lol i took a piece of plywood , notched the corners and made some thing similar to a hanging basket . then i added some shiny washers to the bottom hanging and one on the top hanging. they can play under it or on it. i stapled the rope down to the wood so it cant slide or catch their little feet. its about 6in. x8in. they can play king of the mountain.

I wonder if I could make a quail swing?

Yeah those are the type of quail I ate. Hatched them on the 18th December

pretty fast turn around then. were they tender without skin? was it worth the trouble of raising them? they looked good.

it seems as if the platform swing is throwing some darkness. maybe they will rest better too. they havent tried it yet. mealworm time !!

yeah they weren't too chewy. I'm not planning on hatching any more for meat. Was hard work cleaning them out all the time. If I could raise them outside it might be worth it... but I'm a sucker for buying stuff for them all the time.

I've already been looking at hamster cage accessories for my quail. They're just so tiny and cute, I can't help myself.

I see a lot of people with toys like little jingly balls and yarn in with their quail. Do they play with stuff?

i wouldnt mind having a couple but i dont think i will. was thinking about the Cornish game hens in the store. i know that is about 4 week old Cornish rocks. might be worth it?? i am going to have a frizzled barred rock bantam. it is too cute.

cheyan, i dont know about quail but my chickens love playing with shiny things. the top off a pop can is a good one. i missed it. i dont know what happened but the swing is rocking and all the babies are hiding in the corner. lol

I tried the cat toys... might get some actual bird ones!

I think this quail finds laying really traumatic... she is konked out now!
