Thanks so much for stopping by! The triplet lambs did not make it - the mom stopped producing milk. It was really sad after all the work put into it. Quails wre true cannibals. It was amazing that they would really attack each other compared to other animals. With 800 chickens - none really attack each other.... 24 quail - really went after each other for no obvious reason :) Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by!

You're doing so many things that I've only ever dreamed of trying and I really admire how gutsy you guys were to just go out and do it. What was especially neat was reading that neither you nor your husband grew up on farms, and that you've been teaching yourselves as you go. Now, just out of curiosity, because sometimes you write about something and then don't bring it up again - How did the quails turn out? And did the little black lamb make it or the scrawny triplet lamb? Thanks for sharing so many of your thoughts and experiences. I am 34 with 2 young kids and I go back to work in a week after 3 months of maternity leave. My husband and I work at a computer game company and met online too. Best of luck this spring and summer with all the markets coming up! Hi there,
