Well after spending a fair amount of time building a quail coup, and getting it positioned in the garden. Last Sunday we went and collected 10 females and 2 male quails. they are Coturnix Quail and rather cute. They appear to have settled in really quickly and are having fun…..especially Eric who feels the need to visit every female in the mornings he is having a whale of a time and with 10 in his Harem, he sure has some stamina!!!
So far no eggs, have also noticed that the stupid birds won’t use the inside of the coup and are sleeping on the floor outside, I think it is because they won’t climb the ladder up to the housing. The solution is that we are building another coup with the housing on the floor, and a bit bigger run. Have got a bit carried away with the feather edge cladding and it now weighs a ton!!!
We will need to get Help to move it lol!!!
Soon we will be getting some chickens, am really looking forward to that.
