I have roughly 40 transactions on eBay as a buyer an seller an have never had a bad experience. Only one transaction involving eggs and it went very good I got a good hatch rate, eggs packed well and the birds are way bigger than my current quail. I bout from rarebreedeggs4u.
I am interested to see what others say, I have 8 seperate pens on a long run of hanging wire cages. Each pen has 1 male with 5 hens, 6 of the pens the birds are beautiful, not a missing feather, laying fertile eggs, everyone happy. The other two pens is a bloodbath, feathers are missing, eyes...
