We have had 9 coturnix quail chickens hatch successfully! They're so cute, so friendly, and will run to your hand and snuggle. One of them is only happy when hugging your finger.

We'll be keeping the hens of this clutch, and then look for hopefully pet homes for the males. We are breeding our quail to show people they can make excellent companions. They are really underrated and misunderstood. Like all my birds, they have space, a good diet, and toys to play with but some homesteaders have complained that I give them anything but a one-layer wired cage with nothing, and that my quail "are incapable of loving humans". I don't find that true, so we are proving it.

Same for geese, people assume they're always aggressive but that is untrue.

We also have currently about 7 chicken eggs starting to hatch ( kikiriki x frizzle serema ). We hear chirping and see some breaches!!

We still have some duck and more recently laid chicken eggs still incubating but they're going well.
