Just changed the leg tags in the 4 "special" Marans chicks so I can keep an eye out for a cockerel from a very dark egg and look like I will have 3 to choose from

There in the stable next to the Labrador pups
It's all go

Feathering up nicely for 2 weeks old.

This is Clyde! Lovely little boy even protective of the ducks they are vicious birds I won't have them again I'll stick to chickens and ducks.

He looks a lovely chap
I wouldn't mind getting some quail again, we lost Kipper the dog so at they would be safe. Not sure yet though.

Sounds busy there with pups and chicks! They sure are coming on well with their feathering

Thanks the good thing about quail is you don't have to wait aslong for them to hatch or start laying. They are seriously cute as chicks aswell

Here they all are looking quite new, floppy and soggy - at least my humidity was good

Lovely, sweet chicks. In the process of refurbing part of an old bothy for a utility space to hopefully do the same soon ☺

Yeah my last lot of quail I incubated and hatched myself, like little bumble bees in the incubator they were

I think it's the cold summer. Bringing their feathers on more quickly. Mine are similar.
It's great that the chicks at different ages all get on. Having more pens would just make it complicated.

Your lucky with that! Been trying to introduce my maran chicks and Indianrunner duckling to the flock and my polish boy hates them he chases them round pulling their feathers out so have to build a new pen which is irritating

Yes I think your right there mate.

But having more pens means more breeding groups.........and the obsession grows
