Quail egg song!

[Sill]

prettier than some song birds

The Japanese first started to keep coturnix originally as song birds. Then they found out how tasty they were

and eventually great egg layers.

Check out this beast, 22grams! thats a full sized zippo...

Reckon what song this hen was singing...? (love hurts?)

Oh the poor dear hen.

I had one of my cots prolapse last week. Her eggs are usually 13-15 grams and she is only 12 weeks old. I never had it happen to such a young bird. She was fine the next day but I check on her every time I go outside expecting it to happen again.

This thread is making me want to bring a few hens inside. I've got a trio of white hens that were getting picked on no matter who I put them with so they are in a pen by themselves and growing back their feathers. They are very friendly so maybe I'll give it a go just so I can hear them.
