I have a pair of button quail hens as pets. They live in my office. They were really cool...... until they started laying eggs.
At first it was fun and we found many things to make out of these delicious eggs. However, we noticed that the two hens were getting rather bitchy and mean (who would have thought that such small birds could turn into such an AH? And we were getting weary of dealing with the egg laying prowess of these little birds. By the way, it takes nearly 45 of their eggs to make an omelette.
Anyway, all they do now is sit on the nests with dummy eggs I replaced theirs with. Whenever they come out all I hear is creaching and crapping of really, really really big turds.
I am to the point where I am considering just taking theirs nests away and see what will happen.
Can anyone tell me what will happen when I do this? I just want this madness!
