Remember my parent's quail from this summer? Well they've gotten rid of many of them but they still have some left.
While we were visiting they laid a couple of eggs. Fresh eggs - it'd take several of them to equal one chicken egg.
That's a teaspoon!
Dennis managed to crack one open, the membrane was very thick and hard to puncture.
He poured it into the teaspoon.
Mom cracked open the other one. It was very difficult as well.
I had fun snapping while they got gooey, lol.
My parents have quail and while we were visiting I kinda fell in love with them. Too bad they're probably dinner by now. :( The ones with beige on their heads are girls and the ones with white are boys.
Inquisitive lil fellows. Every time I went to the cage one of the girls would run like crazy, zipping this way and that - I was tempted to tuck her in my bag and bring her home.
Each time I helped mom care for the quail we passed by these huge hibiscus blooms! Dinner plates! That's my mom's arm - see her hand is entirely covered - huge blooms!
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. :) We'll be eating turkey and such with our kids today. Then I'll be trying to catch up on blog visiting now that we're home. Then tomorrow I'll be doing the random generator for the book giveaways, hurry and sign up if you haven't.
