Another New Adventure!!!!

That, my friends, is what 240 quail eggs look like! You heard me right, I said Quail! I have Rob Ludlow and his website www.backyardchickens.com to thank for this! I am addicted to all the information that is on there! One evening I came across a posting about quail. I thought, what in the world do you do with those? So I did some research. Aparently you can eat their eggs (fried or pickled) and you can eat them! After reading some mouth watering recipes for quail, I decided I wanted to give the little buggers a try. I researched on which ones would work best for me as far as ease of raising and good meat. Coturnix Quail is what I have found and that's what these eggs are going to be, if I'm lucky! I found someone on eBay that was willing to do two types for me. I wanted the jumbo brown and Texas A & M coturnix quail eggs to hatch. The A & Ms are supposed to be all white meat, which is what Brian likes. The Jumbo Browns are all dark, which I like! So, we now have close to 120 eggs of each! Why so many? Well, the person I was getting them from offered to double my order of eggs for just $10 more, so I couldn't pass it up! Most people say that $0.20 per egg is a good deal. Well, I got mine for $0.16! Hopefully it won't be a "you get what you paid for" situation... I set them yesterday, so they should be due to hatch around Sept. 25-27th. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
