Kicking off spring with babies and new critters. A second lamb is on the ground, 35 more quail eggs are in the incubator, and the guineas are settling in.

We finally have quail chicks! 7/12 eggs have hatched. I expect one or two more chicks 🥳

It has been a tough few days with the quail. Lost a hen and roo on the same day. I suspect the hen had a coccidia infection but I don’t know what happened to the roo. I treated him for a few days in the house and put him back out when he was better. The next day he collapsed and I made the decision to end his suffering. All the rest are doing fine but I am watching them closely. Emptied the incubator after 20 days this morning and no chicks. None of the eggs had developed whatsoever. I filled it back up again and am going to try a different approach. Very disappointing as I was very excited for chicks. This is farming.

That must have been some show last night. I have no idea what happened.

Every time I open the cage, she comes looking for a fight 🤣

Just dropped off a couple dozen quail eggs at CoveyChase Farm Company last night! Stop in and grab them! Also checked fertility today in preparation for refilling the incubator once the chicks hatch, everything looks good to go. I'm so excited for chicks I was dreaming about the hatching last night lol

In anticipation of lambs this spring I have begun training the ewes to the milk stand.

Yet another double yolk egg! I added some string lights to the hutches for these dark times. Now they have a magical garden party ambience going on.
