Our little homestead is always changing - last summer we added four muscovy ducklings which we really enjoyed having, however, it turns out that ducks are just not for us. The heavily clayed soil on the ridge we live on, did not allow proper drainage of all the wetness ducks need 'and produce - yuck' so our backyard was turning into a slippery mess. Too bad...they were really quite adorable.
So now onto our next adventure - COTURNIX QUAIL!! My incubator arrived today (Christmas present from the husband and kiddos...yes it was on my list and yes I know I'm a huge nerd) and the eggs have been ordered. We our ordering our eggs from a gentleman that runs the Canadian Coturnix Quail Breeders page on Facebook and are getting a mixed flock of colours.
I cannot wait for them to hatch...just think how teensy tiny they'll be - and they're not even the smallest breed. Button Quai are the size of bumble bees when they hatch - can you imagine?!?
