This is a blog about the trials and tribulations and thrills and triumphs of trying to raise a flock of quails in an organic garden, along with growing grapevines, fruit trees and vegetables and the occasional flower.

Day 3...
After the extremely wild weather Snowpea is down to four babies. We found one little cold wet body in the grass this morning and two are still missing. We have decided that if the weather doesn't improve we will have to put them in a smaller cage at night. They are just too tiny to withstand the freezing cold and the wind, despite Snowpea's bests efforts to keep them all together. We are grieving today - but, in much better news - Spock is sitting on eight eggs!!! Photos to follow...

Hang in there Meffres! The wild weather has battered my quail too and we lost one of our young ones too. I have been making them a hot brekkie every now and again!
