My quail are now self sufficient

[Wifezilla]

I had a coturnix quail hen go broody. This is a type of quail not known to set a nest. I strongly doubted she would stick it out, but guess what I saw this morning???

2 tiny little fluff balls under mom

She still has a pile of eggs so I am trying not to bother her too much in case we get more to hatch.

I will try and get photos later today.

Not sure what it is about my backyard, but give me a breed that isn't supposed to go broody and they will be popping out chicks like crazy! Remember earlier this Spring when my psycho Indian Runner duck hatched out 10 ducklings???

Baby quail are so stinking cute!!!

Yay for baby quail!

Woo hoo!!

Send some broody vibes my way. I want some baby chicks!
But who am I kidding.... I don't even have any eggs yet

Awesome! I just put George Jr #1 in the fridge to cool. George Jr #2 is getting plucked, and George Jr #3 is waiting his turn....

That is so cool! I can't wait for the photos. However, if for some reason we ever visit you, please remind me to keep my wife out of your backyard!
