Yeah, I was wondering if just a kid's pool might work. But there were all these pages that were like 'they just need like a little bucket of water to get their feet wet in' and I'm like. WHAT? BUT WHAT IF THEY WANT TO SWIIIIIMMMMM????? ; n ;
I have heard only recently of keeping domesticated quail. It did pique my interest. I have no idea how quail taste, though, and I'm pretty sure their eggs are really tiny? Which is adorable, and I'm guessing bitty boiled quail eggs in a salad would be something really impressive to serve to guests, LOL. I have a feeling if I had quail eggs, though, I'd end up like, draining them and shellacking them (and maybe like, painting them with nail polish) and see if anybody wanted to buy them for crafting purposes because HOW CAN YOU WASTE SOMETHING THAT TINY AND PERFECT?
I pretty much want to raise ALL THE FOWLS except for, uh, the big scary waterfowl like geese and swans. I've considered turkeys as well, but I don't really...like turkey meat all that much. If I can find a smallish breed of turkey though (it seems like all the breeds in the US are AS BIG AS POSSIBLE these days) I might go for that, because I do like fried (not breaded) turkey, so if I have a bird small enough to fry I could enjoy that.
Basically my plans all require I not be living alone (...my life kind of requires that in general since I'm never going to be very good at some things like, uh, using the phone, even if it's necessary) so the work will be split. So the idea is that I will have enough time to do some work out of the house (freelancing creative type) and supplemental income from investments, or else wait until retirement (at which point I'm more than confident enough that I'll have a significant income from investments). And that would be on top of at least one other potential income in the house.
