Just got my quail eggs after a pretty long wait but sooooo, soooo impressed with the shipping. They came deep inside an oversized box firmly filled with wood shavings. At 98 degrees at noon today my hand reached into the cool depths of the shavings and pulled out twice the number of eggs that I...

Thank you. It must have been a glitch. I'm not having any more trouble from it.

Just got full access to my website/blog and was making a page and it was drastically edited in the middle. What happened? The top and middle saved. So discouraging. I referenced in that part two people on the quail forum who had pictures of birds that I was describing but put in no links did not...

I have a rooster and a goose and have had quail and guineas. The quail make noises all the time but are quieter in my opinion that any of the other three even when crowing. And the noise they make is......Lovely. Much quieter than quineas.

Looking for local quail eggs for hatching Huntsville/Madison AL Fayetteville TN or nearby. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again you guys!

Is there a chart sticky for Coturnix incubation with spaces to keep track of the day, turns per day, temp, humidity, etc. Not one with just the info but a fill in record for the hatch? When I did this before I had one but have misplaced it.

Thank you all kindly, (Especially Flock Master and Shelley-exact answer I needed) now my flock will be much more assorted than I'd planned. All good.

Just to make sure. No difference in laying between the various colors and sizes of coturnix excluding buttons? I'm not considering other species.

Did I read correctly that Coturnix will live and lay 6-9 YEARs? Just slower laying?

Love this. When I do it I'll put a brass plaque with your Chesterfield brand on it!

I am trying to decide what kind of birds to get for eggs after losing several bids for the type I like, am considering a mixed batch. Is there a difference in egg production between the jumbo/a&m/assorted normal size coturnix birds? Incubator and pickle jars awaiting the answer.

Thanks for the welcome, this is a great group! I am in Fayetteville TN which is near to Huntsville AL. Firefly7

Is this the thread I would look on for middle Tn quail raisers? If anyone local is raising coturnix I would love to hear from you. Di.
