A Quail is Born- Well several to be precise

The eggs were due to hatch on Monday evening, however, come bedtime only 2 eggs were pipping. We all went to bed hoping for perhaps 2 or 3 chicks come Tuesday morning.


But much to Ed's supprise, at 5.30am there were 11 chicks hatched.

Then by 9.30pm the following night we had 18 little lovelies! Quail hens begin to lay eggs as early as 6 weeks, so if anybody wants a dozen fresh eggs then they are only £1.00. For all international postage please send an extra £22.00!
