Anyone local? Looking for some help getting started and locating a coturnix quail breeder (or someone willing to sell chicks/young).
Good evening! New member from DuPage County, IL. Looking to start keeping coturnix quail for eggs, maybe meat. I'm having a difficult time locating a more local breeder where I could pick up chicks. Any tips?
