Sad news today. When I went out into the garden to feed the Topknot Gang, Gertie and the Quails, I found that Quinn had passed away. She showed no signs of illness so I am at a loss to explain why she died.
Quinn was a very tame quail who always came running to the front of the coop to be the first to get at the food. On occasion, I did not put in the food fast enough and she pecked me to show her disapprobation.
As we only have Queenie to keep Quentin busy, I will need to think about getting a new female so that poor Queenie doesn't have to fend off Quentin's amorous advances by herself. I am sure Queenie and Quentin will miss Quinn
