Oh no sorry to read that. We had to separate our quails too as they can be quite relentless sometimes.

Cheers mate.  I'm keen for us to do a bit of bird swapping to broaden our blood lines.

It was two boys and two girls in that cage Susanne. They got along very well for a year.  Then, bam!

I feel for you Andy. That is a hard but necessary bit of husbandry, he was in warm caring hands.

Why the male? Do you have any idea?
Do you have single men's quarters for your excess boys? I know Jo keeps hers seperate to stop fighting. They also end up on their table.

I'm with you Andy, hard to lose any animals you have grown fond of.

Cheers Elaine.  A lot of people might find it silly, but I do love my critters.

Yes ... allowing animals into your life in whatever capacity does bring with with the joy, some tears as well. The saying 'pecking order' comes straight from the chook run, applies to mini chooks as well apparently.

What a day today! Big Bertha got loaded into a huge box (actually two boxes joined to ensure she fitted) and has gone on a romantic holiday at at mate's place. He has a Plymouth Rock rooster called Rocky. I hope Bertha doesn't hurt him.
The really bad news was in Quailtopia. For some reason, they set on one bird and pecked his eyes out. This meant that I had to give it lots of cuddles and a very quick death. There is a certain element of tiny city farming that I find quite upsetting.

Thanks Susanne :) Hard to say goodbye at the end.
