Update From our Little Farm

 Wow. It has been far too long since my last post. We've had a lot going on, and maybe I've been a little lazy when it comes to blogging....just a little. (;
 There are so many things going on here on our little mini farm. Our tilapia are having babies, chicks are hatching, emu chicks growing and my garden plants are growing like crazy. It's all so exciting to see!


A big project is taking off for us and we are so thrilled. Our quail have been giving us 20+ eggs a day and we were trying to find things to do with them! I was boiling quail eggs, pickling them, frying them and giving some away. Finally, we decided to start collecting them for incubating. Quail eggs only incubate for 17 days so it's a high turnover! we've got quail coming out of our ears over here...it's a good thing. These quail really are doing their job here and were finding it was the best $20 investment we've made!

If you've considered getting into quail, I say it's a good idea. Quail are a really great dual purpose bird. Especially since thy cost less to feed than a chicken, and grow to their full size in about 6 to 8 weeks!
