SOMEONE, namely my husband!, forgot to shut the quail pen last night. This morning I only have 5 quail left!!
I know that one is dead.
My dog killed it, and I saw him do it. Poor little quail was trying to get back into the aviary, and couldn't.
Two are in the hay field. I can't catch them. They went under the tail grass. My daughter and I tried to find them, but can't. She even rode her horse all through the field trying to get them to fly up so I could get them.
The wild bobwhites are calling away this morning. I wonder if they hear the babies, and are trying to lure them? I hope my babies know what the call means, and go into safety.
As gross as this may be, can someone tell me how to process the one my dog killed? I hope I have the strength to do it. I threw it at hubby and said good morning, now you can have quail for supper! He left it laying on the kitchen counter.
I'm so sad. SO hurt, and so angry. I'm worried to death about the ones that escaped, and pray they are OK.
