    Oh, I thought you knew on Osiris. Taking a closer look at the pics, Osiris looks like a hen.

    What made you happy today?

    I did! I visited Weta Studios in Wellington. That's where they did all of the special effects for the Lord of the Rings, the Avatar movies, Prince Caspian, etc. too. Did you know that the model for the castle in Prince Caspian was made at least partially from pizza boxes? I visited a Maori...

    I finally got some long needed maintenance done on my car. It is running so much better now.

    What made you happy today?

    If you ever go to New Zealand, make sure to visit Hobbiton and sign up for the Evening Banquet tour. There was so. much. food! The entire experience was so worth it.

    Rough molt?

    They're too young to be moulting. You may want to lower the temp a bit. If it's too hot they may not feather as quickly and may look a little bald.

    HELP sick? baby quail

    I use a heat lamp. While I know there are people who have good luck with the heat plates, I don't particularly like them because you can't see the chicks. You may want to make sure that the heat plate is low enough for quail chicks. Edit: I would put a thermometer under the heat plate to see...

    HELP sick? baby quail

    Looking at your setup, I am suspecting that they may not be warm enough. What is the temperature at quail level in the brooder? These chicks look like they're 3-5 days old, and still need to be in the 90s for heat. The do need a warm end and a cool end of the brooder.

    Things you wish you could say

    When I took Linux about 25 years ago, the teacher had a giant stuffed Tux in the classroom. Many years later, my old roommate became the Linux instructor at that college, and he inherited Tux. When he passed away, the new Linux instructor didn't want him, so I got him. He resides in my...
