After the fun that we had with the quail eggs, I have decided to leave that until later
in the summer- we don't need to increase the colony size until we move, and have no desperate need for quail eggs or meat.
however... It would be nice to start hatching chickens for meat- we have egg birds, which is great, but I now feel confident about hatching and dispatching to eat them. I am still debating what to go for, but will probably try ixworths, or Sussex, in case I 'chicken' out of dispatching them.
Thinking about hatching soon, but we go on holiday for a few days in May, so don't want it to clash with that. Hmmm. Will probably need to wait until I get back.
quail-wise, I will probably go for Japanese Jumbos again, or Golden Giant. I need to work out what I want them for, but Japanese Jumbos are far more 'dual purpose' so that might swing it.
