This has always been a peeve of mine. Winged horses are not all Pegasus. Pegasus was the name of the winged stallion that came from a drop of Medusa's blood. The one thing of beauty among all of the venomous insects, snakes and poisonous creatures that came from the rest of her blood.

Is she getting enough calcium?

I'm glad they'll have the best life they can.

I got some free fence panels a while back. We used four of them to make the chicken yard (between the greenhouse and the side fence) and will probably use the rest to fence off the area between my house and the one next door neighbour. I don't have enough to fence between my greenhouse and the...

What an adorable garden pest. Rather like I feel about the deer that hang out in my yard.

That's what I was afraid of. It sounds like an albino. If it is not already blind, it probably will be soon. You might be able to delay the loss of sight by keeping it in dim lighting, but I have yet to have an albino that didn't need to be culled. It's good that the eyes aren't bulgy since...

I automatically filled in "We're the Monkees" instead of "It's Saturday!"

She may have flushed and hit her head, or it is possible that she had a stroke, especially at her age. I have heard of coturnix living up to 5 years or so, but 3 years is pretty old. I do have a pen of "retirees" that are all about 3 years old and I am beginning to lose them one by one.
