Fat bird ready for the BBQ

[Larebear]

Just kidding. I would never harm these little birds but I have to admit that this little guy is really fat. Guess I shouldn't be feeding them so much. Maybe I should name him 'Fat Albert'.

looks like it ate a pigs head

so yeh dont eat em? do you get eggs or is it just in it for fun?

Was pretty common where I grew up for there to be a few pheasant in the chicken coops, eggs are small but good... mostly raised for the meat tho.

They devoured the pigs head so I had to get another flock block yesterday. I wonder what they'll carve this time?

I don't know where they lay their eggs but I get many chicks showing up in the Spring. I just feed them for the fun of it and the camera captures. They're used to me feeding them, so they come running when I throw out the grain.

I feed them cracked corn. I buy the 50 pound sacks of it at North 40 (Big-R). They also enjoy the flock blocks.

He'd probably needs a long runway to take off. Hope he's fast enough to avoid the cats and hawks.

Yep, both are quail roosters in that pic.

Never had quail eggs but used to hunt quail and pheasants years ago. Both are quite tasty.

This is the new Flock Block. You can see the remnants of the old one (pig-head) on the left side. This particular ESC camera gets close-up captures of anything that moves including ants, beetles, slugs, worms, spiders, mice, raccoon's and of course cats, but mostly birds and squirrels during the day.
