Bobwhite/Coturnix Hybrid Quail

[Stellar]

I will give her an email. I hope her first name is not Pam...

Strombergs won't give me the breeder's phone number or e-mail so I guess the only way to find out more is to buy a few.

SORRY MY ALLTIMERZ IS KICKIN IN TODAY..... PAM DOESNT SOUND RIGHT.... I WANNA SAY IT STARTED WITH A J? JAN? JANA? JADA? IDK! SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES... SORRY EVEN BEFORE I FORGOT MY MEMORY WAS BAD I COULDNT REMEMBER NAMES

ANYWAYS THE BUSINESS IS CALLED COUNTRY EGG I BELEIVE (AT LEAST WAYS THATS WHAT I HAVE HERE IN THE CONTACT FILE) ALLEGEDLY THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ROUTINELY STOCK AND SELL THEM IS THIS PERSON AND STROMBERGS. NOW HAVING TYPED THAT CARLOS VEGA (VEGAFARMS ON HERE...) HAS THEM MIGHT TRY TALKING TO HIM, BUT YOU'LL LIKELY GET THE SAME MARKETING HYPE AS THE OTHER 2 SOURCES.

YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD GIVE YOU THAT? SO YOU COULD BUY FROM THEM AND CUT STROMBERGS OUT OF THE EQUATION? NOT LIKELY, I MEAN THEY HAVE SURVIVED IN THE POULTRY BUSINESS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME.... THAT DOESNT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.


BEFORE YOU BUY FROM STROMBERGS CONTACT VEGAFARMS ON HERE AND TRY THAT OTHER EMAIL ADDY I POSTED. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BUY DIRECT AND SAVE? MAYBE NOT, BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN EMAIL AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH 2 BREEDERS AND NOT A MIDDLE MAN BENT ON MAKING MONEY...

I might try to breed them myself. I can try to do an AI expeirement on them. I just need a few more bobwhite hens. What kind of bobs do you think they use?

 

[JJMR794]

NO AI.... ITS DONE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. COTURNIX ROO OVER A BOB HEN. PICK A STRAIN OF EITHER AND HAVE AT IT. I WOULD TRY A SMALLER STRAIN OF BOB 1ST... IF THERE'S NOT MUCH SIZE DIFFERENCE IT MAY CUT DOWN ON HER GOING BLACK WIDOW ON HIM

I GOT A BIG OLD HEIFER BUTLER HEN THAT WHOOPS THE DAYLIGHTS OUTTA ALL MY LADDS

... HAVE TO FORCE A ROTATION ON THE BOYS SO THEY CAN RECOOPERATE FROM THE BEATING THAT ENSUES.... EVERYONE'S GOTTA TAKE A BEATIN FOR THE TEAM YOU KNOW...

One of my coturnix roosters weighs about a pound and three quarters. I separated it for about a month and fed it 30% starter. Poor little hens.

Personally I am not a fan of any hybrid, if I may comment. I strive for genetics but I would rather work on a true breed than a hybrid. No need to comment on this. Just my personal opinion.

 

[Robo]

Do your A&Ms have the throwback gene? How much is shipping on about a dozen eggs?
