So in my science class we are hatching Coturnix( otherwise known as Japanese) quails. Well, the other day two hatched but we lost one. He drowned himself in the water feeder and he got stuck and no one helped him. I was not in the class because if I was-excuse my language- xxxx would have hit the fan. People stood there laughing at a thrashing baby quail! Oh I was mad when I found this out!
So today, I walk in and there's a newly hatched chick but he is very sickly. I had to take him out as try to feed him with a dropper. This kid named Gabe started talking about him dying and death so I covered the chick with my other hand(basically cupping him between my two hands), turned around and yelled, in his face, " WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? Can you just shut your annoying and stupid trap for five minutes so I don't have to worry about you hovering over my back, scaring the chick to death with your FACE!" the teacher was right there and my teacher started laughing! He told Gabe to go sit down and I tried to care for the chick. Sadly, by the time I actually got the chance to try to nurture him, he was to far gone and he lost his will to fight. I gave him CPR for five minutes. I want to be a vet when I grow up so I guess this was the good Lord letting me know that not everyone can be saved... I just needed to rant. Sorry guys if anyone took offense to this. I did not get in trouble an my teacher gave me the job as head chick caregiver/ emergency caretaker. I'm in 4-H so i know the general go around of all farm animals.
