Just wondering how the Quails are getting on. We hatched 19 a few years ago only for the eggs though and tasty as they were I prefer a fresh hens egg. Are you raising them for the meat as well?

I have been putting this on my veg plot but have had a comment that it will attract rats. Anyone know if this is the case ?

Both jackets are now at the charity shop.

Well she has taken the smaller jacket to the charity shop so apologies Gazmill. The larger 1 is still available label says height 200 and chest 116. Not sure if that helps anyone.

Just sent you a message Gazmill.
