OK. Here goes! I'm taking quail egg orders for curbside pickup or local Saturday delivery. $5 a dozen. I do love carton returns, as it helps me maintain costs. I may tweak the delivery area, make it bigger, down the road. And add a delivery day. But here's a start! https://lemongrasslane.square.site

My birds are starting to lay for the season. If you would like to buy some eggs, reach out to see if I have some for you. We're not full swing yet, just starting. The eggs are currently $5 per dozen. e-mail helloATlemongrasslane.com or call or text ‪(234) 208-6373‬. I don't have FB messenger on my phone.

Lost one very old and crippled hen during the extended 30* below cold stretch. The other birds are alive and well. I'm thankful for Thermocubes - haha. Even with that, frozen drinkers were the norm. We made it. Now, to make it 'til spring.

I still don't have eggs to sell. It takes so long to collect a dozen that it's just not worth it. Laying will certainly pick up soon, and then I'll have a mountain of eggs. So stay tuned.

I'll start posting regularly again on the Lemongrass Lane website, and may do so more there than here. So bookmark it!

They called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, known for stealing gold and attacking bicyclists. A lynx slept in her bed, and she shared her roof with a tamed boar. Simona Kossak was a scientist, ecologist and the author of award-winning films – as well as an...

Yarn Bee Pixie Twist is lovely, and I thought for some time on what to do with it. Needed a new hat this year, and a scarf and mittens are to follow. I'll be making more of these hats, probably also in striped rather than self-striping, for the colors. But first, to get started on a pixie style winter hat in some earthy colors. And to finish a child's gnome scarf.

Gosh - I keep doing fly-by's of FB these past days. I like seeing what's up with my friends and my loves, and sharing what's up here. Anyway... before I walk away from the desk... here are pics of the chicks hatched and raised by Mama Coturnix, settled in with the covey. All is good. They all eat, play, snuggle and dust bathe together. I wish every hatch was like this, instead of all mechanical and without a mother bird. This is such a blessing!

Mama hen and her chicks today. I think she's gorgeous, and she's a perfect mama. There's a "woot woot" sound that roosters make to call the others to a tasty treat. When it's a pen of nothing but roos, it reminds me of when the Muppet Show's Beaker was replicated. Anyway. Today this hen took a tiny bite of lettuce from me, set it down, and woot wooted for the babies to come and get it. She's just amazing with them.

Still not the best photos, as Mama is easily frightened and extremely angered. We lost one, I think the first one to hatch, on Sunday. It was very sad. I think it was stepped or sat on, but Mama is generally very, very careful and watchful. The three she has are healthy and growing. And learning by her example. Not a piping session out of these lil' ones, as they are so content and loved. Mama give a hard "no" to Papa being in the same bin, so it's just her and her babies for now. Dirty sandbath is still in there, because Mama is still sitting eggs. When she nests elsewhere or shucks the eggs out, I'll remove and clean. I haven't used any heat plate or special setup. This is all Mama.

Sad news. Just got back home and found we've lost one of the new chicks. It looks like Mama may have stepped on it, as careful as she is. The other three seem to be doing well. Now that I have taken the one that didn't make it out, Mama is sitting eggs while cuddling her chicks again.
