They ate all of their turkey dinner except for the odd sliver or two they managed to knock outside of their pen. Their appetites have been pretty good lately, hopefully the AC unit is making them comfortable enough to play a bit more while I'm at work. For breakfast they got quail.

They ate most of their chicken wing, but had stashed a couple chunks around their pen. They don't normally do this so maybe they were looking for something to do with it when they had more food than they wanted. For breakfast they got beef heart and chicken liver. They ate most of that by dinner time, when they got quail.
I took their weights again. Copper is the same weight as a week and a half or so ago. Reska is down another 40g. I dangled her but she didn't seem too skinny. She still has plenty of energy (much more than when she still had her Winter weight). I may give them some egg with their early evening snack later today to offer her some extra calories, I don't want her to get too skinny, although I know she'll eat more if she gets hungry.

I checked on them before I went to bed and they'd eaten nearly all of their quail so I mixed the remainder with a chicken egg and returned the plate to them. By morning, a little bit of the egg was eaten so somebody had the munchies.
For breakfast they got ground lamb and pork.

They are doing quite well. Keep an eye on Reska and her weight. You know they drop weight in the summer, but it's still a good idea to watch her weight. Males tend to lose more of their body weight than females.

They ate less than half of Friday's breakfast, but they ate most of their turkey gizzard snack (mixed with a couple duck FDR nuggets). For late dinner they got turkey back and ate almost all of that. For lunch they got organ mix (2xheart, liver, kidney) and Reska started munching on it right away. It's a good thing I got that AC unit set up, the next couple weeks are all hitting triple digit temperatures and there's no way they would be tolerating it well otherwise.

They ate every bit of Saturday's lunch. For dinner they got quail and ate pretty much all of that too. For Sunday brunch they got chicken egg and turkey muscle. By dinner time they'd eaten all the egg and some of the turkey. For Sunday dinner they got chicken wing.

They ate maybe half of their dinner. For breakfast they got beef and pork (mostly beef) with one nugget each of turkey and duck FDR.

They ate all their breakfast. For dinner they got quail. I spent another 1.5 hours prepping food this evening and have enough heart+liver portions for a couple months. After prepping quail the day before, the freezer is quite well stocked. I just need to buy some more ground beef and they'll be set for a while.

They ate nearly all their quail dinner. For breakfast today they got beef heart and chicken liver, with a nugget of duck FDR. I intended to give them their kidney+heart meal as scheduled but this portion got mixed in with the wrong stuff so they'll get the kidney+heart on Thursday instead.

They ate every scrap of their breakfast even though I only mixed it with water, no FDR like usual. They must be getting used to it and don't need bribes. I have a long holiday weekend, so they're going onto weekend feeding schedule and got turkey gizzard slivers in water (no FDR) as a snack.
