joe's cooking, not Ron's !!
They are so tiny you can stuff them and still maintain a good temperature for cooking.
Oh that is just too delicious!!!
MOM? where did all the quail go? LOL ...Burp!
Ron

Thank you! See I can cook.big brown horse said:
Obsessed; Sorry to have hijacked you thread here.
But my point was, I loved raising the quail but it was just to much and had to let that go.
I think you were misunderstood, I read You are willing to clean them but not your spouse. You are felling overwhelmed with all you have going on, this I see in reading you posts and such.
So I say if you need a break, take one!

Thanks Joe,
yes i was willing but nobody else was willing to do the work. And i didn't feel like I was spending enough time with them or on them. the water bottles got way to gross way to fast in the summer. I also felt horrid to watch them pant in the summer through the LA heat.
I like to do things for the fun of it just to say I can do it. I can do it. I did do it but when it becomes work, I don't want to do it. I do see adds on craigs list for poop so that is what I am going to go for.

Well tonight is my first official taste of Pigeon!
Seriously, my dog took down a big whopper of a pigeon; I praised him and he played with it for a while. I gave him the wings to play with, and I took off just the larger meat parts without disturbing the gut. I was quite impressed with myself.
The rest was taken out to where there is a skunk out back (might as well share). I sliced the breasts and thighs and pan fried them in some butter. OMG!!!
The meat is so excellent, I can see why other Countries still utilize pigeon as a protein (unlike us fickle folk). Its texture is much like beef and the flavor is so intense and rich. Knock me out!
My dog loved every bit of it. I am sure my day of pigeon will come; but seriously I would do more than pan-fry something for myself!
I am liking the idea of a dovecote more and more.
Sorry, felt that since the subject of Quail came in here that I might as well keep adding thought on these lines.
Do not mean to gross anyone out! I feel that both myself and my dog honored our little feather friend by not wasting him.
A good lesson for all pigeon, and a wonderful efficient kill by my dog! Funny because he will not go after a chicken, even with me not around.
