    What made you happy today?

    It was getting dark awfully early, and I was hearing distant thunder, so I decided to close up the greenhouse and coop the chickens up early tonight. It was just starting to get nasty when I got back into the house.

    The best water I have ever tasted was from a stream near the top of Cader Idris in Wales. It was fast running, clear, cold, and oh, so good!

    That is certainly not something I wish I could say. On the serious side, do take care of yourself.

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    good luck. It is possible that with some nursing and treats she will recover, but it sounds like you are experienced enough to know that it may not. You have done what you can.

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    I missed the poop. That means she's not egg bound. In my experience, calcium is critical for buttons more than coturnix, but it varies from individual to individual, and might vary depending on the line. Is a vet an option? I forgot to ask how old she is. If she's over 3 years old, it could...

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    Are they getting regular calcium on the side? It sounds like she may be egg bound, in which case, she need treatment ASAP. This would be easier to diagnose if you could tell me if she's laying or at least pooping. Can you post pics? What are you feeding them? If you think she's egg bound...

    Maybe even the train. I think they're louder than a chicken rooster.

    I wanted to get some peafowl, but I learned how loud they are when I was doing my research. I decided to not be "that neighbour."

    Quail poop

    It looks like they ate some greens. Not all of the poops will look like that if you didn't feed them a lot.

    I've gotten two nights in a row of sleep uninterrupted by the neighbour's crappy dog.

    I don't think my Godson should drive. He does not pay enough attention to the world around him for that to be safe for anyone within a 5 mile radius of him... That being said, he is making progress. He is being dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood, and he will one day be able to hold...

    They didn't know. His mom is understanding now that she did him no favours, but she doesn't have the patience to keep correcting him until he gets it right. I get frustrated too, but I understand that if I take a task away from him just because I can do it better means he'll never learn it. I...

    Thanks. My experience in teaching has been in adult education (college), so I've been teaching him that actions have consequences. I know that he doesn't get social cues. I've told him that he doesn't have to, but he does need to memorize certain rules. Those rules may be different for...

    That's the thing. His parents have known about his asperger's since he was very young. He is capable of learning habits, but they would let him do nothing but sit around watching TV, YouTube and contribute nothing because it was too much effort to teach him. Believe me, I spend a lot of time...

    He has asperger's and OCD. He is mostly lazy, though.
