So this afternoon we had about 8 pipped quail, went to one of my daughters graduations and came home to 1 freshly hatched quail! And many more pipped n zipping! Our first quail in a very long time, I almost forgot how tiny they are!

I've had a couple birds completely hatch while still in the turners and fall to the floor when it was lockdown day. I just removed the birds and they w...

Last group of chicks have been removed from the brooder and quickly settled in. This makes me so happy. And the turkeys are now in the big brooder.

My boys new kitten... born here with 4 other boys. His name is Chase and he's crazy playful! Since I mentioned him in KB's thread I figured I have to post a pic. This is him in his calm state, sleeping. Lol Screenshot_20230531-230826_Gallery.jpg He also plays with the dogs, Brena could care less but...
