So the twins will be joining the local 4H peep's and squeeks group. In order to do so we had to have any of the following Rabbit, GuiniePig, Chicken, Duck, Geese, Turkey or Quail. Where we live says no farm animals so that means no Chickens, but they did not count Turkey,Duck, Geese, or Quail. So we settled on Quail. We are attempting to hatch them. 120 little eggs. The incubator is on loan from the local Co. Extension office. I love that place they pressure test caners and have some awesome programs. The twins will be raising some quail. We could have anywhere from zero to 120 little thumb size babies. We have found the extra if we have any a home on a friends land and many will make it in to the freezer 9-12 weeks after they they hatch. The twins are excited and so are man and I we miss fresh eggs and the bug control. When they hatch here first week in April we will up date with how many and photos. The kids wanted to crack the eggs and play with them. Don't quite understand they are growing in there little homes.
