One of our quail hens has 6 babies. Who she is taking really good care of. Yesterday I went in to feed them and didnt look before hand where all the bubs were and i let out 2 of the babies. This was ok i scooped them up and went to put them back in and mum charged at me...right out the door. We have quite a large yard that doesnt have very good fences. We chased her around the yard for about an hour. Until she got stuck behind one of the aviaries. We finally caught her and put her back in and she was very happy to be able to stuff all her babies under her.  I never knew quails were so fast :S ;D |

The worst part was the dog was in the back yard. But she didnt seem too interested, which was very lucky. They run so quick...its amazing but she is semi tame which is the reason we caught her.

Glad it was a good ending Bubbles, when they get out here they usually get eaten by something within minutes.
