When you have a Bird Dog to train, the first thing to do is NOT to come home with a basket of quail, but that's what I did because the opportunity presented itself; after all, why wouldn't a chicken yard easily double as an aviary?
The training is taking more than I'd expected so the birds are temporarily safe from the imminent trauma of Jack Puppy's education. For now, they seem very comfortable in their new home, evidenced by the recent daily appearance of eggs.
A dozen "one-bite" eggs! |
Four hens with two roosters amounts to about 2-3 eggs a day, so it takes almost a week to collect a dozen, which is still a light breakfast for two!
Tiny, tasty... poached for just 30 seconds |
