Papa Steve's Quail

Feed and seed in the morning. They gather for the bug races. In hindsight, I should have worn a belt.

I always check on the quail at least twice a day. In the afternoon I take them some vegetables. This time it was cucumber and squash slices with some sprouts on the side. Guest appearance by Clyde the wiener dog. If you listen close, you can hear me yell at him for peeing on the cucumbers.

I started out thinking all I had to worry about was containing the quail. It didn't take long to learn otherwise. Until the coated mesh gets here, I have gathered my scraps, and whatever else I could move, to give the quail cover around the edges. The spot where the owl attacked the fence has 1/2 inch mesh on it. If it had been just the chicken wire, there would have been an injury at least.
