Chickens & Quail

We have 3 Button Quail who lay tiny little breakfast eggs for us very faithfully. My husband is wanting me to pickle some up soon...so I will let you know how that goes! They are so very fun to watch...so curious & social....following the leader around & around.

We also have chickens. Finally. I have wanted some for a while, but we just couldn't get a coop together. There are so many wild animals out here in the mountains, that we wanted to build our fence first & then place the coop within that. So here we are! I forgot that it takes 9 months for them to begin laying eggs...so we have 8 months to go! LOL The mild smell takes me back to my fond farm memories of childhood. One of my chores was cleaning out the hen house & placing fresh hay about. It warms my soul to be doing it again. It is a simple little thing I know...but it's great!
