Well, at some point, you will need beer sexing guidance...at that point, someone may or may not give such guidance.....I'm just saying!

On a side note: The chicken educators can go....educate the chicken folks all they want. The game bird folks are unimpressed....well, I am. Maybe it's just me.

Any..hoo...Yes, quail babies are funny!

Hey Joe125, just pulling your leg. I don't even know what beer sexing is. Sounds....er,...weird.

OR, the first time I heard that, I thought you did something magical with the beer that would indicate what sex the birds are. I was thinking, I'm not a beer drinker, but if it works, I'll go out and get a case right now!

Beer sexing is when you grab a beer (or beverage of your choice) and sit in front of the cage and watch. If it crows, it's a boy. If it lays and egg, it's a girl.

Never heard of that one!

Joe, not to worry, these little quail babies are eating 30% game bird starter and have only had maybe 4-5 slugs from my balcony that were eating my plants. They are living inside my condo's bird room. For some crazy reason, despite the almost sterile nature of the complex/subdivision, I've managed to attract all kinds of animals to our second story balcony... a whole mini ecosystem is up there and so far am glad the HOA hasn't called us on it. I think these 6 babies are going to live out their 6 weeks inside the condo under the watchful eye of the parakeets and cockatiels. Maybe just 5 weeks so I can eat them before x-mas. I already have breeding parakeets and hamsters, probably don't need a quail colony at school too. LOL

Ohhhhh! The joke is on ME!

Well, now, how about that? Chrishel, I'm not a beer drinker either. I reckon I'll be Iced Tea Sexing.

I tried to come up with an alternate drink phrase, but unfortunately, "beer sexing" just sounds right...haha!

Except it's hard to say, "I beer sexed these" while my kids are around. The other option to "beer sexing" is "I looked at their butts."

I can't imagine what my kids say to their friends and teachers at school about what goes on at our house.

It would be coffee for me, and this time of year, some Baileys Irish cream added.. lol...

Chrisel, that reminds me of the time Art Linkletter had this little boy on his TV show and asked, "Well, what did your parents tell you not to say on TV?"

Little Boy: I was told not to tell everybody that my mom is pregnant.

Art Linkletter: Why wouldn't they want you to tell everyone your mother is pregnant? After all, being pregnant is a wonderful, beautiful thing."

Little Boy: Mainly because she ain't.

My mom used to have a book by Art titled, "Kids say the darnedest things" lol
