    Comment by 'EggRx' in article 'Dust Baths: What they are and why they are important'

    What? Someone is giving away quail?

    What? Someone is giving away quail?

    Hi ChookAtThis, Thank you for your comment. I will consider selling on CL (as a last resort). I really want to re-home them. No telling what a buyer will do with them. You can probably tell I am a big softie. Cheers, Bob

    What? Someone is giving away quail?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. Well, if I could get them trained maybe they would migrate there, LOL. Sure would save on shipping cost. Maybe others seeing this would like to comment on how they deal with the problems of reducing their flock. I know some folks like to eat their quail but my...

    How to raise Quail questions?

    Hi quailboy14, A study by G.H. Williams (Breeding Biology of California Quail) found that California quail begin to breed at about 12 months of age. They may actually be considered as adults before then but they have a seasonal breeding pattern and would breed and lay their first eggs in late...

    Hi, I've opened quail eggs several ways and all seem to work, but the best is to get a pair of quail egg scissors. They are pricey on Amazon but free shipping if you order $25 worth of goods. So, I ordered two pair and got free shipping. Next best was simply tapping them smartly on a flat...
