A late hatching







Ok...if you know anything about our family, you know we have a lot of different animals. Well to add to the list of semi-zoo animals. We now have 10 baby quail. Yes, quail. They hatched last night or sometime yesteraday. When we got home from Gavin's game, Brett checked the incubator and there were 9 little birds hopping around. The one egg that was still intact, was to be left in and we were going to wait a day or so before we threw it away. But, we noticed it was still moving around after we put it back. Maybe 5 mintues later we have a newly hatched bird. It was pretty exciting to watch the bird break out of the shell. The quail we hatched are off-spring from the 4 original quail from last year. Fear not...we will not be serving quail for dinner anytime soon. They are too little and too much work to try and eat.

So cute! I bet Liam loves them. How many animals are you up to now? I think my 1 cat is too many animals to take care of :)

How cute....

We are going to have to register your home as an animal attraction with all the different animals! LOL

Liam must have been so excited to be able to see this happen.
