Quails are weird

btw awesome quail-nomming pictures!! You've got way more balls than I do, I don't think I could manage to kill them myself :)

A couple of glasses of wine didn't hurt =P

OH, and the fact that so many males together were so effing loud! It helped me feel not as bad.

You know, i saw this one method of plucking at a street stall in China that was amazing. I think it involved and ice bath and boiling water, but the feathers came off like THAT.

Oh yeah, you can do that. Quail feathers come off really easily though. A LOT easier than plucking a chicken.

Jerimiah wants to make a quail down feather pillow.
