Thx Pheasant and Nysees, I hope no one took my comments in any way negative towards the helpful advice, its just my frustration trying to figure out m/f for my um... Mentor, partner and great-grandad-in-law who technically has these birds! It's one of those frustrating, but kinda fun, while...

Thanks... Replied there to you! I am a little concerned because I've been told that some strains show less or no brown at all on the males and even the females. It's like once one person gives advice someone says the opposite. Well, I guess not the opposite but rather exceptions! My 3 all...

Thanks for linking me... Well, if back of the head color is it... This is a girl and I've got 3 boys! Uh oh lol... I figured I had three girls since they all have a brown patch in the back of their head, but its nothing like yours!

I am having trouble telling my trio of m/f mountain quail apart. Not really even sure what to look for. I sure hope I don't have all males but Murphy's bird law... What should I be looking for? I don't even know what pwrts of their bodies to take pictures of. Thank you!!! Chris

Hi! I've built my own bucket heater almost the same as this. The only exception is that I got the heater and pump on eBay from china for less than half the price. I also bought a "110V Digital Temperature Controller Thermostat" for $6 and set it for heating at 32 degrees F...

Hi, saw you didn't have an answer. I like these autowatering cups from eBay. I haven't tried the ones with the covers yet but have 20 on order to test and sell to a buddy. I figure the price is about the same and if I don't like the covers... Toss them lol. I just put a 5 gallon bucket...

There are a few folks in the US, not exactly the right time of the year BUT its probably the right time to start getting the paperwork/licences required to import. I bet its tougher in the UK than here to get an import licence (if its even possible since the mad cow scare). The going rate...

Perhaps I'm nutz here but I think we've got a few rocket scientists talking to a molecular biologist, all smart folk, but just different backgrounds and those differences have caused confusion and frustration. Zajh6fd, you may be able to do what you want but it will require you scrapping all...

I'd like one 24" Dublin, VA 24084 Thanks!

My great grandad inlaw wanted to go into partnership with me raising a few quail and i guess my gambels didnt like his flight cage and seemed to all freeze this past cold snap. He's heartbroken so i'm trying to get some in so we have hatching eggs and/or chicks to sell just at the local swaps...

I have some of the same ideas as you, and am currently licensed BUT probably NOT licensed enough.... I'm near a large at research university and sure i could get some partnership *if* I can even find enough wild breeding population to work with. That said, besides the dream, I am stuck...

I'm sorry you've got burned, I kinda hate to say it, but some of those that talk God the most, well they need God the most in their lives. Kinda like the empty barrel makes the most noise. Most of the folks involved in the chicken trade are good folk. Some people see this kindness and take...

New River Valley, sorta usually stands for the Dublin, Radford, Christiansburg, Blacksburg corridor. naw, well, I tried last year with the sweetgrass but only hatched one. I have tried royal palms this year but my fiancée doesn't like the entire hatch, feed, harvest life cycle. I spent...

oops, Sweetgrass, always make that mistake! www.porterturkeys.com/sweetgrass.htm

Karen, there was a regular christiansburg buyer who has been looking for turkeys for a while now. I'm trying to remember his name, I sold him a sawgrass turkey this spring. Do you (or anyone else in the NRV) remember his name? Thx :-)

Anyone heard anything about Christiansburg? I didn't see anything in craigslist... I've got some royal palm turkeys I was hoping to sell! :-)

Pulaski tractor supply bird swap is tomorrow. Maybe some folks more might show up? :-)

What's really ironic is most of us sellers usually buy something at TSC. Ki4got always run in after her first sale to get feed, or wood chips, or something else she has run out of or forgotton (a joke but like most there is some elements of truth). I always need some feed or chips, or a apple...

Um, that's news to me- I heard from them three weeks ago there where not any problems, but things change... That parking lot is different though, its only TSC, so even if shelor owned it they couldn't say anything since the leasee has rights. The Christiansburg one is shared so the landowner...

The TSC in Pulaski loves traders and swaps like us and the "history" of the local swap is actually Pulaski for decades prior to the relatively recent move to Christiansburg, of course before/concurrent with Pulaski it was at the stock pen in Christiansburg. The TSC in Pulaski likes us so such...
