[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3194284, member: 42224"] I will eat one, maybe 2, if I'm hungry. Grumpy won't eat anything I have raised and butchered. Go figure. I harvested 20 when I first got this bunch raised up. All roos. I have 4 coveys now. 1 roo and 4 hens in each pen. And one pen with 3 hens. I have pickled the eggs. I like them better than the bigger pickled eggs, like chicken or duck. Nope. Don't use vinegar -- just boil for 4 minutes, drain and drop in a sink full of water and ice. All I have to do is pinch the big end off and slide a spoon between the egg and shell. It rolls right off. I have jumbo coturnix ... Gonna pick up another batch of 40 from a different breeder this spring to feed out and mix into my single bloodline. I will probably do the same thing in year 3 and then I think I will have enough diversity for a few years. Maybe mix in new blood every 3-5 years after that, depending on how they do. I keep hearing horror stories about how these pens are too tall and they are gonna fly up and break their necks but I've not lost a single bird to "flying". In fact, whenever one gets out they simply hop right to me. The little buggers have no idea how to fly -- and are too damned fat to, even if they knew how. Lol [/QUOTE]
