Slow Night Here In Quailville

[jenjscott]

Well, we thought they were really good. I did notice that there was a slight gamey flavor, but since we like wild game, it was a non-issue.

Glad to hear ya liked it Jen. we have tryed it several different ways and i think i will have to try it with the brown gravy

I got two sets of quail moved out to hutches yesterday. We've been having such crazy weather I was afraid to move them. I hope they didn't mind the thunderstorm last night. Each 2x3 pen has one male and four females. Then I was able to graduate the next set of babies into the big kid pen until I can figure out boys and girls and see who I'm going to keep. Maybe I'm getting impatient, but they sure don't look like they're going to be as big as advertised.

Just be patient

it dont take no time for them to grow up but tales a little longer to fill out

I lost one of my quail yesterday, it flew out when I opened the door to feed. I looked for it, but I never saw any sign of it.

Keep an eye on the pens it may come back to be near the others. This is why I pinion all mine.

If they havent spilled food all over the ground below your pens scatter a small amount about under them... it will get hungry, and it will get lonely.... chances are better than average it will come back for fellowship and food... keep a close eye out and just patiently watch...



good luck, I hope ya get it back!
