    morning all, i mean afternoon now lol

    back home now, for a few hours, as I need to feed,water and clean out the quails, no signs of eggs yet.

    the boglets are getting to be little thugs lol...some of them have war/battle wounds on their ears, from where they have been playing, teeth marks etc..

    yesturday I just slobbed out ALL day in the caravan watching films due to the crap weather..

    today seems calm and bright so far...

    if the rain stays off we have 2 HUGE bonfires to burn...so will burn one tonight, and one the next time we have a few dry days... given us pants weather for tomorrow

    Cool - how do you find keeping quails?

    We were looking at them the other day and debating whether to try them. Do you intend to keep the eggs for eating or will you sell them?

    Ce. I am going to see how it goes, in theory i would love to be able to supply resturants etc, but i need to do more research in our area, to see what the demand would be, also as we have a blank canvas so to speak, i contacted the local council to find out what criteria they look for when they come out and inspect, so we can arrange things to their spec, but they didnt know lol. So waiting for them to get back to me after easter.

    As for the birds they are nut cases tbh, very nervous, an 'jumpy' so you got to do everything in slow motion, opening the cage, slowly get the drinker out etc...

    I can see why now people keep them on mesh, sloping cages, and auto feed and drinkers

    Ours are on sawdust and hay

    Fire is struggling. Don't think those stumps will burn through today. Hopefully they might get so they are possible to break apart though. They look so much smaller in a picture, and so much smaller than their weight anyway! I have a pic some where of how close the stumps are to the barn.... The idea pod that dump in the firt pic being a garden one day seems almost impossible, right. ;) its going to be BEAUTIFUL! I promise!

    Ah, here we are, stump proximity to barn. Doesn't seem worth risk of removing these.
