Am I a home for wayward critters?

[Thewife]

Mr X calls today, somebody was on their way to bring me some quail eggs to hatch? I have never had quail, I know nothing about quail! They only want 2 females, I can keep the rest? What do you do with quail?
When the quail people got here, they tried talking me into taking some other guys dog? Didn't they notice they were being mauled by the 4 dogs I already have?
Then they tried talking me into taking a male duck from another guy?

Last night, we get home from looking at the gorgeous beautiful, wants to come live with me Catalina, and there is a message from a friend, she wants to know if I want 2 goats? I really do love goats, I just don't have a good pen for them.

I think I need to trash the answering machine and quit answering the phone!

ROFL... I have a gf like you! But she never says NO!

 

[wynedot55]

well there is a word called no.

 

[Thewife]

I said NO, on the dog and the duck!
Haven't returned the call on the goats!

But, when I called a friend to find out what to do with the quail eggs, I might have committed myself to some Bobwhites?

Quail sure can be good eating!!!

I've heard quail are good eating.

Quail are excellent eating, and I really like them. Especially Bobwhites. I have raised them for many years, and have always enjoyed them. One thing---be sure to use a quail waterer (chick waterers are too big, and the little quail will drown in them), and be sure to run their feed through a blender. The crumbles that chicks and other game birds eat is too big for the tiny beaks of quail. I lost many to starvation before I learned to "blend" their feed. Wife doesn't appreciate me using the blender for this, but I dust if off after I use it.

If you need a quail waterer, PM me, and I could send you one.

Thank you for the offer, but suposedly before they hatch we will be going to see my friend that raises some. I'm sure I can pilfer what I need from him!

I guess these are Pharaoh and Tuxedo, the people listed a bunch of names and admitted they weren't sure?
I know they did not say Bobwhites, because I have always kinda wanted to try them! I like their calls!

I guess I could dust off my blender and use it for mixing bird food, no clue to what else it could be used for!

Yea, and I think I now know why!
Had Hubby call the the goat people last night! (figured wait a few days, they'd either find home or change their minds)

They are not sure what the other people are going to do with the goats yet, but HUBBY told them if they need a home for them, we will take them?
What?
