The Quail Experiment has begun.
Susan, Dear Susan hatched out a bevy of these beauties, and i have given eleven of them a new home.
It is my sincere hope that they are not all named Lou.
Need some Luetta's in there.
Am hoping for a little reproduction, here.
Coz all these guys are good for about one meal.
They started out pristine and white.
They make the sweetest little sorta chirping sound.
They won't be performing surgery any time soon, but we find them to be quite esthetically pleasing, on many levels.
Until they decide to take a dust bath.
We have one we must call Pig Pen.
He is the one towards the top in the picture above.
He is such a Dust Hog that the fella below had trouble getting his turn.
Pig Pen gets in and rolls around on his back like a happy dog rollin' in the grass.
When he gets done with that, he rolls onto one side and streeeeettttccchhhhhes one leg, then rolls over and strreeeeeeeettttccches the other leg.
Then he does the Happy Dog again.
He is funny enough that i am not sure i am gonna be able to eat him.
Kinda like the Bob's he is worth way more in entertainment value that meat.

Have you heard any of their little rooster crows yet?
Oh, and you should have some quail eggs by the end of Oct.
