My two oldest are at least 9 weeks old. I think since the days are getting shorter
it's causing quail to lay later or not at all. Unlike chickens they are gamebirds.

Your quail laid all those eggs and then packaged them for you. Those are some
smart quail.

Drumstick made it home from school with his egg and it was IN ONE PIECE. OMG.


I looked in the quail cage this morning and there were no quail. Someone left the
door open and they were hanging out with the Rangers. No one was harmed.

Oh ya. Their cage is in the barn so they couldn't get out. There were quail in
every corner. I think they enjoyed themselves.

ha ha that's a cute picture in my head ha ha! Sometimes when i open up my quail pen a few quail intentionally plop out on to the ground some get paranoid and truck off somewhere (they're easy to catch with their wings clipped), and others immedatly start making lil quail clucks and eating from the ground. I hope to next spring have them a quail tractor they can go hog wild in. Sad seeing them scratch on wire...i love my lil puff butts!

Oh great. Thanks. Now I've got the picture of happy quail in a tractor.
