    What made you happy today?

    Those are basically takoyaki pans. I have a small one, but I haven't mastered the skill of turning the takoyaki. I guess I just need to practice more.

    What made you happy today?

    My cousin's family took me to the "best takoyaki" in Osaka. It was a tiny street stall in an alley. Absolutely delicious, though.

    I don't have anything close to that skill, which is why I want the kitchen gadget! I do have a takoyaki pan, but I haven't gotten good at the turning.

    What made you happy today?

    They're pretty common streetfood in Japan. Batter, a piece of octopus, maybe some green onion, a bit of ginger, topped with katsuo (dried, shaved, bonito flakes), Japanese mayonnaise and a savory sauce. Personally I skip the mayo, but they're delicious! You do have to be careful not to eat...

    OMG, Sorted Foods just did an episode on Japanese kitchen gadgets. I want this! Too bad it's so expensive, and I don't really need it. It made me happy to know that something like this exists. https://www.amazon.com/AUTOMATIC-ELECTRIC-JAPANESE-TAKOYAKI-Sugiyama/dp/B000Y2YJPQ

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    Keep giving it (just a tiny bit) two or three times a day until it perks up. I use it as an energy booster for a weak chick. It's not going to do anything for wry neck, and the bald spot is nothing to worry about.

    Things you wish you could say

    How are you so slow at this task? It takes me about 30 minutes to feed and water all of the quail. In the time it takes you to do it, I have emptied, hoed, and watered four and a half 4'x6' garden beds!

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    That one has a decent chance, I think. Give it some time to see how it develops.

    Things you wish you could say

    Good grief, will you grow up already? You act like you're 12, when you have been an adult for 6 years!

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    I'm sorry you had to do that. I think you did the right thing, though. Poor little one.

    Quail and supplemental calcium

    I have a stainless steel mortar and pestle that I use to crush oyster shell into smaller pieces.

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    Poor thing. I would cull. It's going to suffer before passing away otherwise.

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    It can take up to 24 hours from pip to zip. Sometimes an assisted chick will be fine, but most have problems.

    Foot/leg deformity? And other hatch issues.

    I would give it a few more hours to see if it straightens out, but chicks that need assistance hatching usually have problems for reasons. This one doesn't look good, so you may want to be prepared to cull the poor little thing.

    housing 2 females and 3 males

    If they know that females are around, they are far more likely to fight.
