Been a long day at work, hours of mucking out the chicken coop and run, cutting grass, and getting things done around the house. We had a well deserved smoked meatloaf and mashed taters. That certainly hit the spotAttachment 435526

That would probably turn out as crappie cakes. Which doesn't sound too badQuote:

we just let ours get hard and thick and tall and it makes it higher than the surrounding ground and then if it ever rains it dont get yucky on the floor inside the chicken coop......:Rofl
the meatloaf looks tasty btw .....:Rofl
Tried that. Didn't work so well for me. Besides once it composts it will be some great fertilizer for the garden.Quote:

That’s a lot of birds! I’ve never had quail but probably taste like chicken…. I hear everything taste like chicken :Rofl
Meat loaf looks great!
Peeps from the south, understand the cooking outside bit!!
Quail is my Favorite Fowl. Bar none.

My wife’s cousin use to raise quail. One of my favorite ways to cook them was in the crockpot. McCormicks use to have a green pepper corn gravy mix I would use but I can’t find it anymore. Crockpot, quail, gravy mix, salt and pepper! Oh man was it some kind of good!
Sounds awesomeQuote:

I've got to admit I would get fresh birds out of the pen to eat and give away the "Shot Tenderized" ones.
The magic to frying a Bob White is lightly brown them then turn the heat down and cook slow. Real tender, buttery, that way.
You have certainly gotten me thinking of raising some in the spring. Until then I need to start some laying chick's soon so I can have new layers by spring
