Two baby quail (hatched in an incubator from quails eggs bought in Bedford market) and three assorted poultry also hatched in an incubator. This lovely family entrusted us with their Bantam birds three years ago when their urban neighbours complained about the noise. They weren’t expecting the quails to hatch and the other three were just for fun. We have spent the last hour preparing their new home and trying to make it bird proof and cosy. More in that tomorrow.
