So Rusty was released into the main house, so did Stevie the decoy quail.
Keeping her peaceful eyes on the others....
I didn't think at the time I was making Stevie, but she's a lot smaller than the others...
Zebedee and Newbie Stevie
Well there was a little bit of pecking - Zebedee pecking Rusty, but not as nasty as before, and Rusty didn't run away like she did before...in fact, she was casually fighting back. No screaming or flapping, just some peck occasionally.
Stevie, what a saviour! (I'M SURE SHE'S THE KEY TO THIS PEACE).

Dougal had a bit of accident today, and she fell into a gap between the house and the hutch - she might have been stuck there for good 30mins or so!! Poor Dougal....She's a bit traumatised, I think. She laid an egg immediately after being rescued, and now her bum looks sore. She still runs for mealworms etc, but something is still not quite right. She's a bit puffed up and keeps sitting down. Hope nothing was damaged....I should have thought about the risk and I feel really bad. Now the gap is sealed.......
