Meet Nugget and Nugget’s first egg!

We’ve gotten cortunix quail.  They’re supposed to have a better feed-to-egg conversion rate than chickens.  Plus, they’re quiet and smaller so it’s much less likely for the neighbors to notice/care.  They sound more like wild birds.

I’m just so excited to have fresh eggs again!
