SOoo long day!

Woke up, tried to find this garage sale to find wood (we met the lady at Freddies)- ALL IT WAS WAS OLD CARS!!! No knick knacks, no wood (she told us what she had) urgg... so that wasted an hour of my day, then my mom went to get 4 4"4 s each 8' long, to buld the goat shed. I helped my dad then my mom comes home. She hands me this box that very clearly has something alive in it, and my mom was saying about this ground hog and the end of the road- well, my first thought was "She caught a freaking ground hog...." Nope. In the little box are 4 quail :D . Well, i set them up in the rabbit hutch,cover the wire with hay since I dunno if they can walk on wire, and cuddle 'em. Their a week old, and 3 of them are either Georgia giants or Butlers, and then theres a little one whose different who we dont know what she is. Well, I gave them some chicken scratch (if you know, can they eat that?) and then my mom says "Lets let the chickens free range and put th goats in the garden to eat the weeds" Well, we dont have much of a garden for them to eat- We put them in SEVERAL times before we can make the not jump over....err... Then my mom let them out (all they did was sleep !) and we LOST them! Well im panicking thinking their dead and someone is eating them, when I walk down and back our road, when my mom spots a brown little Sassafrass butt. -.- So i get them and put them back, when my sis comes home. Well i show her the quail- SHE DOESNT CARE! Urg... i hope she doesnt get any animals when shes grown!! Well, I cuddle them some more, and decided to name the cool one Dakuri. Origannally it was gonna be Princess in arabian, but Dakuri works if its male or female 8) Soo, by now the shed i put together, the chickens are wandering about, Ive given and taken about 5 different eggs from like 3 different chickens who I thought were broody, (one is hopefully!! She hasnt moved in a while! :D ) and its raining. Well my sis and mom are packing so I head in, (gave the turkey some food who he spilt EVERYWHERE- it was in a plastic container, and he decided to scratch at it...urrrrg...) and get on the comp. How was your guys day?

Had a lot to report, and now will work on pics !! :D

The quail will eat the hay ;) They love grass. They will (and can) eat the scratch but need a high protein diet when they're growing. Enjoy them, I love quail.

Ya they are cuties

We're currently feeding them this - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Family-Fa...ed-For-Laying-Hens-Animal-Feed-40-lb/10323565 High enough protien? It says it has a min of 3% protein, i think cause hte label is faded.

Also, are you good at telling breeds? LOL, were not sure and im working on the pics ;)

Okay sorry the link wont work but copy and paste it in the bar URL thingy... lol... sorry

Don't get me started on broody chickens. -_- All these dang chickens go broody all the time and we ALWAYS have baby chicks running around. All of them Modern Game bantams. Well now there is a chicken on 9 eggs, one on 11 eggs, and one on 5 eggs. I am pretty sure there are more broody some where because we are getting less eggs than normal. uurrrggg

Send some of them hens over to us, we want some chicks right now, it'd be a good laying cross (Either Orp X EE, Orp X RIR, Orp X Orp, or OEGB X EE )

RR is Rhode Island Reds. Guess I should have done RIR, eh? Modern Game Birds are decent layers but they lay tiny eggs. They are more of a pet bird. They are very loving birds. They really are great birds, but tiny eggs!! lol
