Hi & the thread! Lovely birds you have there and I love the colour of your coop! I'm into nice bright colours too and have mine painted pink Great to hear you are enjoying eggs already, you really can't beat fresh eggs Quail are lovely little birds to keep. I had some cortunix but the dog had other ideas about them! I had to rehome them in the end as she just could not leave them alone. Good luck on your new ventures and enjoy BYCGreetings I am in the west midlands. I picked up 4 nice hens at the weekend and am already enjoying lovely poached eggs on toast. I'm pretty new to this game, but have kept ferrets, lurchers and a goldfish before (the goldfish was called Bob, cus he kept saying it through the glass at me). The first night they didn't wanna go into the coop but have settled now and go in and out quite freely. If this goes alright the missis might agree to keeping a few quails... but time will tell. here's a pic
