Update on all my fur babies! NTTCALR

DH and I found a TERRIFIC home for the sweet puppy that we fostered last week! We were informed from a neighbor that someone did indeed drop the puppy off in our backyard Monday night. She was soo freaking sweet and cute. I cried when the man took her home. Old man took "lil bit" home to his 9 year old granddaughter. I took "lil bit" to the vet Saturday morning to get her rabies shot b4 I adopted her out but he said according to her teeth she's only about 3-4 months old.

 

Now for the baby quail. We lost one. We don't think it quiet finished developing before hatching. We gave those 11 babies to a boy who is raising them and we had 7 more hatch Saturday morning!

I Don't understand how some one can just "drop" off an animal like that.  It happens all the time at our dog park.  Some one just opes the gate and lets their dog in hoping some one will adopt it.  That so nice of you to take her to the vet, and find a home for her.  Quails, Ive always wanted quails, they are just so darn cute!!

that is so cool that you raise quail! is it hard? my DH & brother want to raise them to sell. we currently have 34 chickens & 2 goats. also, glad you found a great home for the puppy!

the quails were easy. We just had to rotate the eggs 3 times a day! We went out of town for a weekend and didn't think bout the eggs so we were afraid we had cooked them. We had 77 eggs and only 18 hatched but the guy who gave us the eggs said only about 1/3 would hatch. DH is getting a rotating incubator today at his work so we can do chicken eggs next!

YAY!!  Such great news (aside from the little quail ).  Thanks for the update--I have been wondering about the fur babies.

Have a good week!

How many eggs do they lay a week? and how much space do you have for them?

That is so sweet of you to take care of all those animals!  I love animals, I'm so glad you found a good home for the puppy and the quail babies.

right now we only have 2 that are old enough to lay but when the rest get older they will typically lay one egg a day. my parents have a huge yard out in the country so thats where the chickens are. the pen is probably 20' by 20' but when they are full grown we will let them roam. we had about 20 chickens a couple of years ago (my dads german shepard took care of them if you know what I mean) & we would get about 7 dozen eggs a week.
