Nicholas and Christopher,
thank you for bringing this up again! I have to admit that I abandoned the work on this, mostly because I wasn't sure about the style. But I have all the information so it would be really useful to produce it. I was also thinking of something more like a "quail owner's notebook", with some practical information but also space for one's own notes.

Beautiful place! I hope you find wonderful people to hand it to.

You drew the perspective quite well, I'd say these are good drawings! The last one is a bit "overcrowded" maybe, but together with the other drawings it makes sense.

Then there is connection and connection with permaculture-minded people, even more enriching!

I took this PDC years ago and highly recommend it! It's packed with practical knowledge, and completing the PDC comes with a bonus: you get to join a community of alumni, which is very active and supportive!

Cool video! Deep litter method is the best.

I want the Portugal tour! Where do I sign up? I'll bring friends :D

Update: there's actually 14 of them. They must have multiplied in the brooder :D

Done!
I candled the eggs after a week and 7 were empty.
Lockdown started at the end of day 14, because they were wiggling a lot. They started hatching on day 17 and finished on day 18, 2 hatched but didn't make it and 5 didn't hatch.
So there are 13 healthy chicks, 48% of all eggs collected or 65% of the 20 eggs that weren't empty after candling.
Not terrible, considering they were stored for two weeks...

So here is a cute pic of the band - check out the middle guy! He (or she) is the only one of this colour. Most look like the "wild" variety and some look like the "italian" (but of course it's hard to tell on day one).

This reminds me that I have to call the chimney sweep. Which made me think, how do they sweep these rocket mass heaters that seem to have a labirynth of a chimney?
