Chicks, Chicks and More Chicks

   We bought a big incubator earlier this year. Ever since then it seems as if we always have some kind of chicks. They are either in a rubbermaid container in the bathroom so they are warm enough or they are out the back door in the stall area.
    If anyone ever wants any chicks feel free to contact us. Here is our email - Cool Peppers. We can even run your eggs through our incubator if you like.



We have also started raising Coturnix Quail. What a fun little bird they are. They start laying eggs at 7 or 8 weeks of age!

Notice the one standing tall in the middle of the pic - well, we are curious as to what color that one is going to be. It is really pretty right now and different than all the others.

This is a pen of 41 chicks (39 quail and 2 silkie chicks). We need to move them into a bigger pen really soon here!
