I Will be selling eating & fertilized chicken eggs starting next year.
What color are you most likely to purchase and how much would be willing to spend for 12ct(dozen)?
This is Marshmallow, my indoor quail of 1 yr this November.
He has his own indoor set-up and likes to chill out with me through out the day.
But I've realized for the past 5 or so naps, hes been sleeping with only one foot on the ground. Google doesnt seem to have an answer and im not a bird expert. Just wondering if other quail do this.
I raise and sell quail, but I do not study their behavior as closely as I do my indoor quail.
He cannot be let into my outdoor flocks due to multiple attempts at scalping and over mating. Also, he ia the only all WHITE and gets picked on by all of them. Its a lose lose situation so he became an indoor quail.
Hes very tame and can be called, he will fly into your hands if you have them flat.
Overall hes definitely my favorite pet out of the menagerie.
Context: i live in a basement apartment connected to my landlord. I thought it would be okay to have my Amazon package delivered, since my car is out of order for 2weeks.
I have a PO box, but thought it would be okay to have my package delivered to the house since I left instructions to have it placed in the garage.
It was not placed in the garage, but on the front porch.
I texted my landlord about my package and did not recieve a response. This was 2 days ago.
I had another package arrive yesterday. So as soon as the delivery driver send the arrival message I ran outside and grabbed my package.
I noticed my landlord on her porch coming down the stairs, she saw me read that the package was mine and immediately walked back inside.
She has "accidentally " opened important mail in the past and lied about reading it. Which it why i got a PO box, but my car is not drivable and did not want to argue.
The important mail she opened was my taxes one year and told me how much my return was going to be. I reported her to the postal office, which started this whole BS.
She threatened to take legal action if I was going to report her for opening MY MAIL.
She asked me how much I making and explained she cannot ask me those type of questions, but we discuss my rent when my lease expires. She was not happy and said she will go to court if this is going to continue. I told her that I did not want to continue the conversation, only wanted to be clear on what im allowed and willing to discuss. Especially my finances, im willing to discuss an increase as long as its fair and not going based off my yearly returns.
Im saving up to move with my partner, but everywhere is expensive and we're paying $1500. Everywhere else we would be paying $1800+.
Im going to take loss this time, since the package was cheap and was dumb for thinking it would actaully arrive to me.
In the past, the only time she would tell us about a package was if we were coming upstairs to pay rent or doing something for her in return(mow the yard, weed garden, take trash to dump...)
My partner(31M) Half sister(24F)moved into our apartment after a nasty breakup/ apartment lease ending. When she moved in, everything was great for about a month and then I(26f) got see her mean side.
My partner already knew abiut her mean streak and told me that she had it tough growing up and to be patient.
When she came to live with us, she had no job, car or toiletries. We took her shopping the weekend she moved in, got her a job and i took her to work until my partner got her a car. We did more than enough in my opinion for a "life start-up".
Slowly she started showing entitlement and going 0-100 if i was "in the way", told my partner that I was constantly in the kitchen (im a SAHGF), I work from home and use the kitchen as an office since she needed a bedroom(previously my office). Of course my partner stood up for me, but it went on for months.
She decided recently to move out within a week after living with us for 8 months, barely afford rent and used our hygiene products causing me and partner to argue about how much we were both using.
(We bought a 20oz shampoo bottle, lasted 2 weeks).
We noticed soon after she moved out, how much of our stuff was being used after we have asked her to buy her own products. Not just shampoo, we are missing garage tools, cleaning supplies, spices...
Anyway, she moved in with a friend. Who's lease ends in August 28 and has no where else to go. asked my partner to house her and this new friend.
Already a huge RED FLAG, that she didnt ask both of us. When my partner said no, she asked him to Co-sign an apartment she looked at. Again, that not something we can afford if she decided to leave during the lease agreement (she has a history).
After refusing all her absurd requests, she threatened to show up with police, claiming we have her remaining property and will get my partner fired from his job. We ignored her threats until recently.
She sent another nasty message in regards to her left behind property that we were responsible for cleaning up and said she will bring police "peacefully" in air quotes. She has a history of suing and going the extra mile to get payback.
We already witnessed her and the friend on our garage cam after midnight collecting her things and throwing ours on the floor, making a mess.
The insulting texts have not stopped since she officially moved out.
We changed the door lock and set up a second camera with wider viewing range.
I want to get a restraining order in case she goes further.
She has already threatened my life previously while living with us and says she "knows" people.
We all no someone, its just wondering if they are crazy enough to go through with it and she clearly has someone willing to come out after midnight, grab her stuff and make a mess of our property.
(We agreed that she could get the rest of her things from 9-9pm with supervision).
So, WIBTAH if i got a restraining order or am I taking this too seriously and need to chill out.
My partner says im paranoid and causing him more stress asking for a restraining order against his own fanily.
But she literally sued a friend last year for $4000, leaving them homeless and jobless. The worst part to me is that she boasted how he deserved it after he refused to do her job at work so she could keep clocking out to hang with other people and college parties.
Update: My partner will start a restraining order if she texts again. To me, this is insane. Hes waiting for her to text more insane threats even when im left at home alone for 10 hours. My concerns are not validated amd I may just have to take it upon myself. Just wow... a bit disappointed in my partner for not seeing the severity of the situation she has put us in. Not looking for bad mouthing my partner, just disappointed in his reply.
Update...: My partner threatened to kick me out if I get a restraining order. He says Im making a bigger mess of things and that i should trust him. He said, the lock has been changed, you can just grab a weapon and call the police if she tries anything. Im very scared, but now told im the problem and if I dont like it then I can "get the f*** out". I didnt think it would go this far again... every argument ends in me getting my stuff thrown out. I cant afford to be on my own, so my best option Is to keep my head down and hope for the best. Im sorry to my animals and myself for not being strong enough to not be afraid.
So, I take it with grace that I AM the AH. Self-respect is something Im lacking apparently.

I (26F) own 5 chinchillas, and raised 2 since birth. My roommate(24f) moved in with me and my partner(32M) December 2025 and moved out recently. She asked prior to moving out if she could buy one of my chinchillas for $50 and a spare cage o had in the closet for $20. She already owns a cat and betta fish which she rarely feeds both. I was often left to tend to her animals since I worked from home.
I said no and explained why I was not comfortable with selling her a Chinchilla. This tipped her off, but her let it go until after she moved out.
I received a message from her asking about the Chinchilla. I did not respond, because she has already moved out and grabbed all her belongings. She then messages my partner and asks him the same questions.
My partner did not respond because its not his decision to make and he does not want to get involved unless threats are made. Which i respect, because this is between me and her.
(Recent text anonymous)
Her: when can I buy a Chinchilla, I have space in my living room by the couch. (Shows pic)
Her: I would like the baby girl, but if its more than $70 can I buy the blind female for $50. You already talked about selling her before.
Me: Hey __, im personally not comfortable sellimg you a Chinchilla. I do not wish to go into detail, but chinchillas a huge responsibility and qould require more than just feeding and changing its litter.
Like i stated previously, i felt responsible for your pets when you would leave the house for days without notice.
Her: My apartment is closer to my job, so I can stop by for lunch. I did not leave thw house for days unless I let (my partner know).
Me: which was multiple times within the last 6 months. Im notified only after my partner gets home. Who works 12+hr shifts. I should not have been responsible for your animals upkeep for the past 6 months. I gave my answer. Have a great day. ✌️
She attempted to stop by a s speak with my partner. We did not answer the and decided to block her.
To feed her cat alone ive purchased two 5lbs bags of dry cat feed. Im counting that as a gift and not asking for payment. No point in seeking contact.
Update: Thank you everyone for your kindness and giving me peace of mind that I did the right thing. To those who commented on the case of possible breeding, you were correct. She texted me on IG and got very nasty. Stating all I was good at was rescuing the unwanted because I was not wanted myself. Which is not true, but to each there own opinion and just happy she made it clear what kind of person she truly is. All I can do is wish her the best in the future. She is no longer my problem.
2 were caught on the garage video camera after midnight. Will be reporting.

Be on the lookout & lock your doors in Mechanicsville,MD.
I've been hatching silver and white button quail for 2 yrs now and often hatch standard brown color in the mix. Which I sell to nearby local hobby farms or random CL buyers who want to own an Apartment friendly bird.
I hatched this bird 3 months ago and find him very odd colored compared to all my normal silvers(40+). He has reddish-brown breast feathers. I Obviously he acts normal, just a fuzzy feral ping-pong ball.
Just wondering if this is a rare coloration?
Also, no im not selling him. He has 2 wives and 5 silver kiddos. All adorably as fluffy as the last.
For context: I (26yrs old) used to use a stripper pole for working out and occasional sexy time(got as my b-day gift).
Until my fiancés half-sister(24yrs old) moved in and broke it.
Roughly 6m ago, my fiancés half-sister moved in due to financial and relationship issues. During her 2nd month staying with us, she tried showing off a run and jump spin move onto my stripper pole in the living room and ended up bending it, causing the spinning mechanism to break.
My fiancé explained that she needs to pay for the broken pole (which she did after some push back).
4 months later the discussion gets brought back up due to another semi-expensive item breaking and she immediately says, “I’m not paying for this, I already paid $300 for a replacement stripper pole and I expect to get the old one when I move out.”
..you expect?-ME
This took me by surprise because, we clearly stated twice that the pole was taken to the dump and discarded. It cannot safely be used and would cause injury to the next person.
She said “i don’t care if it’s broken, i can sell it and not tell anymore.”
This is exactly why i discarded the broken parts. I don’t want anyone to be held accountable for another hurt being.
So this is me asking.. AITAH?
