Last year when I redid my Coturnix quail breeding sets, I didn't quite have them all together very long, and they were barely of age when I did my first hatch from them. I knew not to expect a lot that cycle but I at least needed meat for the freezer. Out of 3 Pharaoh cages, 1 Falb Fee cage, 1 Pearl/Italian cage, and 1 Egyptian cage, I think nearly half that hatched were Egyptian. We're like, oh yeah, we know who YOUR daddy is! Little red-headed babies EVERYWHERE!😂 My Egyptian roo got named Big Red and he was the only one to earn a special place in the retirement cage this year.

Not the best picture, but he was mad at me and wouldn't stop puffing up. I'm holding him with two hands. :)

Sleepy baby turkey.  They're so friendly.  Too bad they get too big to cuddle.  :D

First generation descendants from Myshire Farm and JMF/Southwest Gamebirds stock. All of our birds are feather sexable. We do have ONE set of non-feather-sexable birds available, some really cute spotted white and tuxedos in the mix, suggested for eggs only or experienced breeders. S*x is guaranteed, we won't leave you stuck with a batch of boys!

Youngsters are fully feathered, off heat, and ready for your outdoor enclosure. Hens will be starting to lay eggs at any time. You'll be able to get healthy hatching eggs when they're eight weeks old, they'll be fully grown by ten weeks, they could be parents at eleven weeks, and you could have their first hatch on your dinner table when the parents are only nineteen weeks old - your chickens won't even be laying eggs, yet!

We also have many sets that have already started laying.

Our Colors this hatch are a mix of Pharaoh, Falb Fee, Pearl, Egyptian, and Italian. They're on the larger side of Standard size, most are nearing or reaching Jumbo weight (10oz). They are ideal for a pretty egg-laying flock, each hen laying 5-6 eggs per week, and still a good source of meat.

Our Jumbos include the Wilds with the beautiful brown Pharaoh pattern, and the Jumbo Egyptians are the redheads with the same pattern. They are over 10oz at maturity, and are a better choice for primarily meat birds while still getting plenty of eggs. They lay slightly larger eggs than the Standards, but lay slightly less often, averaging 4-5 eggs per week.

Sage (our rescue kitten with the broken jaw) is doing incredibly well and is behaving like a normal active kitten should. We keep feeding him soft food but I suspect he's getting plenty of kibble when he needs it, if the way he bites me is any proof.

Eve has also decided that he is a good playtoy because he squeaks when she squeezes him. And hisses, growls, and... let's just say there's always one cat in the household that screams bloody murder when they're just playing! Sage seems to be of that drama crowd. 😃

He gets the cerclage removed next week, which will require sedation and possibly an additional Xray. We're still in need of help to pay the vet bill. We take care of 14 cats, most of which are unadoptable rescues, and they may not be able to service an emergency for us if one arises. If you cannot donate (or already have), please share the PayPal page, and a prayer always helps!
Thank you for all of your support!

Little Sage is doing really well post-surgery. His jaw still looks lopsided, but that is with one side rather swollen from the wire used to repair his jaw, and the other side where his lip hasn't fully healed from the initial impact. We're hoping that evens out some, even so, he's still super cute. He is very cuddly, feeling great, and biting everything! He couldn't eat well with the E-collar on, but he is doing fine without it and never bothers the surgery site. If all goes well, he will be back to the vet in October to have the wire removed from his jaw.
His vet generously extended credit to us, and we still need help with his surgery and post operative care costs. Please share the post if you can. 🙂
