The numbers aren't great, but the birds are young.

121 eggs incubated

67 eggs hatched (thus far)

54 eggs still under heat

=55% recovery

My Bride mothering the chicks

The most recent hatching being introduced to the covey.

Here is little Blondie on the feed tray

We have got them divided into two different containers. In this heat I have hopes of moving them outside soon.

Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3

	The culture I stand for is sometimes lost in today's society, when in fact society was built on the culture of the hunter. A hunter is more than a predator; A hunter is a provider... a caretaker... a leader. I will never make excuses for who I am. It's the way I was born. I'm a hunter... A Bone Collector.

Haven't lost another bird. It must of been heat, but it is still way hot, or they were breaking their necks or screwing themselves to death
