YES THE OWL WILL BE TRAPPED JUST AS SOON AS I CAN GET HIM TO FALL FOR IT. THIS IS JUST 1 OF A LONG LIST I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS YR

No No not my purdy little House kitty. That is stupid enough to walk out the door when the wind blew it open. Wanted to have an adventure, just to see what all the commotion was all about. Darn thing is to smart to fall for a can of tuna in a trap (pickiest cat I have ever seen). Had to set out her regular food when she finally got hungry and just scoop her up.
This cat likes to cuddle up next to the brooder boxes when I have extra ducklings, chicks, quaily chicks, whatever out in the livingroom on the floor. And they lay up against the side of the brooder next to her. Maybe I should have put a quaily baby in the trap then she would have gone in to keep it warm. Geesh, crazy mixed up cat. When she got tossed out of that car her brain must have got rattled.

I usually don't have to worry about cats, though. I gave my neighbor a dog a few years back and whenever there's a cat that makes the mistake of hanging around, that dog takes care of it. Or possum or racoon or anything we don't want around for that matter. Problem with owl's is they tend to hunt different areas each night around here. I actualy haven't heard our owl for quite awhile now.

Well, thank the stars the year is headed for its end. We can all have a fresh start soon.
Well, they just called and my Purina Startena is in, gots to go pick it up.

BUT......I started to do the eggtopsy on my nine unhatched eggs. I picked up one of your 4 and just as I noticed it was piped and zipped the chick just rolled out into my hand!

Let me tell you how quickly I can get the egg tray back into my Suro and get it plugged back in! ;-) It was back up to temp in 2 minutes, up to 58% RH in 5! Baby is up and toddling and pecking at my fingertips thru' the glass

--- a light golden color with chipmunk stripes. BTW, eggtopsy on your other 3 showed 2 early quitters [probably the first tip-over

] and 1 non-starter. I am REALLY lucky, as one of A's eggs apparently cracked in the last tip-over and I didn't catch it! The chick had died and the egg had started to leak!

It COULD have been a big stink bomb!

I was wondering if there are any known eye problems that are prominent in coturnix? I have some chicks, (well many, who am I kidding) that will be 2 weeks old on Monday. One chick has a very dark eye, almost if you look quick it appears sunken. Although he gets around fine, I don't think he can see out of it by the way it looks. I am affectionately calling him "Blinky." Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks all!
