10 Meter Diet

               I'm not going to lie to you, raising a quail is not quite as easy the same as let's say raising a goldfish. And it shouldn't be! However, it is more rewarding (sorry goldfish lovers!!). Raising a quail is like raising a child. You will invest a fair amount of money into your quail and never have it returned. Instead, your quail will provide you with love (sometimes from a far) and with the opportunity to watch it's growth (i'm starting tear up a bit ='( ).

 After all, that is what having children quail

 is all about... right?!?

THE 10M DIET

So probably the best part about being quail parents are the eggs. Weather they have a baby chick inside of them or just a golden yolk each egg is different, special in it's own way. I know that have previously done posts about the scientific/cuisine parts of the quail egg however I have never really discussed the moral behind them. And trust me, this is the best part. 

(here's proof) 

So what is the moral behind what one would consider "just an egg"? To find this out, one must dig deeper than the shell to discover the truth (man that's deep). The truth starts only 10 meters away from home, the center of action, the home to some of the hardest workers on the planet or otherwise referred to as; the quail coop. And around 3 o'clock  every day my sister and I open up this quail coop with hopes to find at least one quail egg. Once we have double checked all of the usual laying spots to make sure we didn't miss any eggs we then bring our collection inside and add them to our much larger collection which lies in the fridge. There they stay stay day after day until Sunday that is which the official  Quail Egg Feasting Day or for short the Q.E.F.D.. We then enjoy our eggs scrambled, poached, fried, in pancakes or in scones (the possibilities are endless!!!). We do this knowing that the eggs came from only ten meters away and that is what has made all the difference.
