Hatching quail and finding eggs.

So, for a few days now (7-8) we have only gotten one egg every other day or so.  Been wondering where they were laying them.  Found a small pile of 8 eggs today, though.  Not sure how old they are, so not gonna eat em. 

Also today, we are on day 24 with the quail.  So far, we have had 4 hatch and one egg is ready to open.  So, we are almost at 5 out of the 12.  Brooder is set up and all is well so far.  But, I need to find my red light.  I only know, right now, where the white light is because it was in the quail pen from the winter.  Once it is found, I'll put it on the chicks so they are not aggressive. 
     Well, here we are on the 24th of may.  Haven't been here in a while, so, obviously, much to say. 

     For starters, I am a grandfather.  Kylee had her baby.  6 lbs 14oz. 

     My back is still screwed up.  Hurts when I sleep.  And still doing PT for it. 

     2 days ago was the due date for the quail.  None have hatched yet.  However, after looking this morning, Lily has seen one that has a small hole in it.  So, we should have at least one quail later.  Guess its time to set up the brooder for them.

     Went camping last weekend.  Was a great time, but missed Tanya lots while away.  Will be going camping in 9 days with the scouts again.  Gonna be doing some fishing,  I guess I will meed to get my license renewed.  And I think it is gonna cost me an extra $10 because I didn't send in my crab endorsement.  Why, exactly, I have a crab endorsement, I don't know.

     Not sure what else I missed.  Iffin I think of anything else, I'll get back on here and write some more.

I;m BAAAaaaa....

After 2 weeks, I is back.

We spent a week down at Disneyland with Lily.  She loved it.  Then, after getting back, I found that my computer was dead.  So, been screwing around trying to get it going/get something going.  Now, I have the old laptop hooked in with the big screen. 

So.  This is what's been going on:  Lily now has 2 customers for eggs.  We just got back from Aunt DeDe's.  She loves em.  And, of course, our original customer at King's Row Antiques.   We have put some new eggs in the incubator.  There are 10 of them.  And they are from our own quail this time.  We haven't seen the quail getting busy, so, we are not sure if they are fertile or not.  fut, being there are 2 males and one female, our odds are good.  They are on day 3 right now. 

Lily's b-day was yesterday.  It was pretty laid back until she told her cousin that she didn't get anything from mom and dad yet.  We had to have a sit down with her about Disneyland....

That's about it for now.
