I've bought several 100 button quail eggs and the most out of 100 I've hatched out is 12 and that only happened ONCE. I found a breeder that I've just nOW email and asked her if I can spread the word about here. I've gotten 40+ eggs from here for the past 6 weeks and I've had no less than 23...

I guess I should say "original strain" the bloodline has to be messed with so you don't get inbreeding. I got this bloodline from the ones who developed this bird along with the professor at Texas A&M and I know how to keep them from being inbred. I know this for a fact inbred bobwhites=mex/...

I thought I'd try the orpington/rock cross w/cornish. Those birds are just so big I thought they'd be perfect with the DC. I've also got about 12 delaware hens and a few younger roos so I might as well add the dark Cornish to them as well since I've got 15 roosters I can just get the biggest...

I had 5 white plymouth rock hens and no roosters so I added 2 buff orpingtons roosters and these are very large birds. They look ike a tan buff orpington. Will these work better for the cornish crosses then? I see cornish rocks in the freezer section aat walmart so i thought this is how you get...

Its perfectly legal here in Texas. It'd be cool if the bird was on a quailX-ing sing. I don't know how to tell which is which on the blue scales. I know I've got 5 birds total (breeding age) and (50 4 day old chicks). I hope you can get him tamed and have you a little buddy. Its so awesome to...

I know ALOT about gamebirds but when it comes to yard birds its a whole nother story. Thank you for welcoming me here. I think I need glasses now as much as I'm reading on here. Theres so much to learn but I didn't get to where my knowledge is my just a miracle or snapping my fingers. I kinda...

Thats AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! If its even a bad picture its a better picture than what we all see of them. I'd love to see that happening around here. I've got all kinds of game birds and when one gets loose its GONE. I couldn't imagine seeing a Texas Blue scale running around calling.. I just...

I'm out a Lake Brownwood, Tx. We've got a few of our creations (white rockXbuff orpington) the extra roosters we'll be cleaning in the next week or so. These birds are very large and are great layers. I couldn't find anyone with a standard cornish to breed my white rock hens with so we used the...

I kinda thought I should get them seperated earlier than to wait until their laying. I guess its about the same as on the ringneck roosters is dark red you know their ready. i've not messed with chickens much but since I got these for dad I'm having to teach him as we go too. I thank you for...

I'm just waiting to get my Dark cornish and white plymouth rocks to get old enuff to lay. I've got both breed about to start laying and I'm going to be doing this strickly as a meat project to make the cornishX's. I got dad these birds cuz we've got so many peopple wanting fresh chickens. I do...

Dad and I have some Dark Cornish and white rocks that are 4 months old. When should we put them in a pen by themselves for making cornishX's. We've ordered 30 Standard Dark Cornish (15 pullets and 15 males) so we can pick the best ones for breeding. We're doing this for the 1st time as we have a...

Up for sale is 24 of our NPIP Texas A&M white quail eggs. These are the "original bloodline" that came from the game bird farm that raised this bird before they closed their doors last year. We've had these same bloodlines for over 3 years and we hand select the very biggest birds for our...

You start temp. at 100 and lower it by 5* a week or until its 70* outside which it may differ. can be up to 6 weeks. The way I do it is check under their wings and see if they are fully feathered or if you can still see skin. You'll of course want them to be fully feathered before turning them...

Dad and I have lots of birds but I've never seen a Texas blue scale quail perching on a fence or for that matter AT ALL. I bet it'll make for a great picture if you can catch him doing it again. We've got 5 blue scales and I've got 210 in the incubatot that we've purchased. They'll be hatcing...
