Were to order few numbers of quail (Adults are fine too)

[jimbo1989]

I know where to get them in my area and have a few coturnix myself if interested I can possibly mail you a few but they'll be unsexed you can just cull the ones you don't desire .

What color are they (A&M, Brown, Tux) and how much would it cost me.

I very well might be interested.

Thanks

Oh, and how much would shipping cost. (I'm in WV if that makes any difference)

Thank you very much @jimbo1989

I know this thread is a few weeks old but I'm also interested. I'm in Western PA. Depending what part of WV you're in, maybe we could get some shipped together and then meet half-way and divy them up? I'm not sure if that'd even be cost effective or not.

What part of WV are you located in? Nearby large cities?

 

[Pineapple]

West Virginia is one of three states with no large cities and no true urban centers. The capital Charleston has fewer than 60,000 people.

I just found some on creigslist about half an hour away so close enough. I will be getting some from her. Thanks though! Oh, and @Pineapple I know that there is a quail breeder in Western PA but I can't remember their website.
Here's a few sources I found: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1075304/where-can-you-buy-quail/20 and http://whiteoakshatchery.com/product/jumbo-coturnix-quail/ Or coarse there are others but this is all I found that could ship small quantities.I hope you find some soon!

Thanks all

OK, guys I finally got some! The hens have been bred too hard but I think they will soon recover. Here's some pics! https://micahsfarm.blogspot.com/2016/07/quail.html

Does anybody know how many females should be with each male. I'm sure there's varying opinions about this but can somebody say about how many? I want fertile eggs but I also don't wanna hurt my girls.

Thanks

4-7 hens for a roo is the usual advice given on here.

I pair my breeders up 1/7 to start with. That way I can lose 1, cull 1, and end up with 5 nice handpicked hens for the season. 1/5 is my prefered ratio.

I checked your pictures and even though your hen has a bald spot they didn't look that rough.
