Quail cuddle puddles

They eat roly-polys!?
I used to play with those when I was a little girl.

Its been raining here for more than 28 hours, it is raining heavily. It slowed down for an hour or so but didn't stop. It is not stopping even now, my birds were outside yesterday, their cage became very wet and soggy, thry didn't have a dry place to stand on. So i took them out from there and put in a bathroom (which is under construction now).there is some warmth in the bathroom. They are so afraid, as they saw rain for the first time.

My favorite part of cuddle puddles is hard to get on film: when someone joins one. In my flock, they typically walk over each other's faces and smoosh themselves down in the very center...

They start acting more gentlmanly in about 6 months. Then you replace them. View attachment 2309880

Edit: I just chose two celadon boys to keep. I'm sorting who's laying what now. I have two brown egg layers separated out.

Wait why do I want to replace them when they finally learn some manners? Does something bad happen then?

It's scientifically impossible to tell how many quail are in this cuddle puddle. Do your quail sleep in little clumps like this? If so please deposit your quail cuddle puddle pics here!View attachment 2242667

Absolutely love this thread. Cuddle puddles are such a thing!

Literally just took this today:

The frisky ones give more fertile eggs. When they start behaving themselves they're mating less. If you don't worry about fertility, you don't have to replace them.
