Very good point! I hadn't thought of that!



I've thought about the Brinsea's but they're so expensive! How many quail eggs did you order?



Yeah, we got her spayed around 3. She's 7 now. Actually, she's turning 8 this August



LOL they must know! Quick! Start laying or you'll be sold!



Awesome!!



We had a dryer guy out today. Idk why. Didn't even know he was coming till he showed up. No one tells me anything lol

I ordered 25+ quail eggs. I got the brinsea cheap, used. I believe their incubation period is 18 days. It has been years! Same temperature as chickens.

We had a female cat live to be 15. She was a stray that we took in and we had her for about 3 years

That'll be fun! I'm debating what to order because I feel like 50 is kind of a lot I don't want to order too few? But the incubator supposedly holds 49, possibly less or more, so if they included extras, which some reviews on the ones I find state people do, anywhere from 3 or 5 to like 10 extra, then they wouldn't all fit in the incubator. Maybe I could order the 40 amount or 30? They have all sorts of varying amounts. But my problem is they are similat prices so I don't want to pay almost the same for 10 or 20 etc. less eggs. Idk.

Maybe I should just start small though and order a small amount and not go crazy ordering like 50 or 100 considering I've never raised them before....

Or maybe even find a local supply of chicks first?

But I do want to get an incubator, whether for chickens or quail.

The good news about chicken though is that it holds 27 so that perfectly works for ordering 2 dozen and getting a few extras cause they usually don't include as many extras with chicken eggs I don't think.

Wow that's impressive she even made it to 12 living on the streets! And that's great you were able to extend her life by a few years and make her last few comfortable!

7 or even certainly isn't really "old" by cat standards but it's just that I've had her since she was a kitten so I can't believe it's been almost 8 years was more my sentiment. I got her around 14 weeks the pet store said but who knows. We think someone possibly returned her. She was tiny though.

But that said, even though the was more just a OMG I can't believe it's been that long or that she's so old, we also lost our last cat at 8 so I'm slightly nervous.

Gator is turning 6 this month. Next week actually, on the 7th.

With him it's worse cause dogs, especially big dogs, don't usually live as long as cats.

Welcome back Blooie!

Yes, time flies doesn't it? My oldest DD will be 30 next week.

Oh and I forgot to say that that's good you got it used because I don't think I would pay full price for one

Thanks.....it is so funny! I popped in to say "hi" and hit "post", then started a post over on Rachel's thread. As I was typing, my phone rang and I just got off the phone after a very nice conversation with Bruce. Didn't even finish the other post until just now!

Now, now....you all know not to worry - you've known all along that my time visiting would be kinda on-again-and-off-again! (although I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it's kinda nice to have a whole bunch of friends living inside this box of electronics who care about each other to wonder!)

Is everyone ready for spring? Here it's thawing.

Well, we didn't really get much snow in the first place. Most of the ground is already pretty bare.

We are in full chick production right now. 3 ovens and one on the way. Our Spring has been here. No problem selling pigs or chicks right now.
WICKED IS IN THE HOUSE!

How ya been? Good to see you around again!
