After over a month of incubating Spotty the egg Landon decided it was time to give up (considering Quail hatch at 7-21 days). It was a very sad day in the Richins home as Landon prepared Spotty by wrapping him in paper towel and placing him in a ziploc bag. We buried him in a spot right outside our door. We said a few words and said our goodbyes.
I had to remind Landon that he did everything he could and that Spotty may not have ever been a Quail (maybe Spotty was just some yoke?) Poor Landon was pretty upset. We will miss you Spotty.
I'm sorry for you loss. I hope you can find the strength to go on. I wonder if you'll ever be able to eat eggs again?
