My Wife was doing some trimming in her flower bed along side of the house and came upon a nest of these she had me remove them, there were 11 each. is there anyway to move them to a safer place, we have them running around here everyday, infact as I was removing them I seen her(Hen) on sidewalk, I suppose wanting to come to the nest. My wife wanted them move as she removed the plant they were lying under, any advice as what to do with them.

That sounds sad to me. Couldn't your wifee have waited till the eggs hatched before she did whatever it was she wanted to do to that one area? Cheers.

You know why she asked you to move them? Because she didn't want to be the one who murdered those poor babies. She wants you to take the fall. Tell her it didn't work. She's still at fault here.

The funny part is we never seen the hen around here, but every once in awhile you see the quail around here but never thought they had a nest, as there running across street forging for food
