Raising bobwhite quail has been hubby's hobby for over 3 years. I always look forward to those early days when they are tiny and cute. He does all the work and there is much involved to make sure they are kept warm, fed, and watered. The babies grow up quickly and our German shorthair pointers, Lucy and Lizzy anxiously await that day. My husband does too but admits his favorite part of quail season is watching his dogs work... and hopefully getting a chance to brag on them a bit !

There is nothing quite like 500 baby quail all at once. Here are the babies just a few hours old |

This is the brooder and coop my hubby built and now the babies are 1 week old! They stay inside the small, temperature controlled brooder until they are older and then they move out into the larger area.  |
They won't be this small long! Too bad we can't keep them all.
