We got a couple of quail back in early May at the feed store we visit, and only one survived, they are apparently pretty hard to keep alive. A friend of ours that raises them to train his hunting dogs says that quail’s sole purpose in life is to die. Hmmm. Well, after a few weeks we still had the one, and we were able to talk Kim at the feed store into letting buy another of the few she has left. When we got the babies, they were so tiny and cute. You can make out one of them in the red picture (heat lamp), see how small they are compared to the several day old chick in the back! TINY! Anyhow, they have been named Peanut and Jam, and they have now started laying eggs, they are very small eggs as you can tell in the picture. Can’t wait to try them, they are supposed to be sooo good, and good for you as well!
