Hi,

I'm new here. My name is Diane and I live in Louisiana between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Currently I am in swamp land, but I was raised in the city so raising chickens, or in our case, quail is new. I remember my dad raised some chickens when I was a kid, but I was not involved. We have yet to start our endeavor, pretty much gathering information right now. I started reading over the quail forums today and I'm learning a lot. Our plan is to raise for eggs. The SO loves pickled quail eggs and they are getting harder to find. So far we have been given a chicken coop that sits off the ground. I'm told we can probably raise 75-100 quail in it, but that is not our intention. We are planning to start off with a dozen to see how it goes.
 
Welcome to BYC, Diane. Glad you decided to join our flock. I'm a chicken person who never owned any quail, but they sure are cute little birds. :eek:) Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your quail.
 
Hi :welcome Diane

Glad you could join the flock! I've hatched and raised some cortunix quail in the past and they were fab little birds to keep. I really enjoyed them and I'm sure you will too. There is a lovely quail section in the learning centre that has some great articles. Here is the link if you have not already checked it out ~https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/other-backyard-poultry-ducks-quail-turkeys-geese-etc

Wishing you the very best of luck in the future.

Enjoy BYC :frow
