If I wanted a breed of quail that would hatch out their own young, what breed would I need to look into?

If they lay this year (which they may not)....I say let the mothers do the hatching. I use to let a muscovy hatch mandarin eggs and they do a great job.

If I were wanting to raise quail and wanted them to sit on and hatch their own eggs......How much space would I need fo 20 or so quail and which breed would be best suited for this? Thanks

I am looking for Blue and Black orpington chicks........5 or 6 of each Can pick up within 100 miles of Knoxville, Tn or they can be shipped if futher away. Please e-mail me at [email protected]

pips&peeps : Why don't you get one breed and work on three different varieties. Like buff, black, blue, or white orps. PIPS........I've done that with Orps in the past. At one time I had 220 Birds.........Blues, Blacks, Whites and Buffs.....both standard and bantam. Due to job loss and having...

Been a tough year Cyn. I had to sell almost every bird I had due to unemployment and lack of jobs around here. I am up and runnin' again and looking forward to getting back into raising chickens. You still have blue orps? If so, I'm hunting chicks or eggs. Also BLRW chicks or eggs along...

Well I should have said 2, because I know Orpingtons are gonna be one of them! I am having a tough time between the following.............Welsummers...........Barnevelders........Black Copper Marans...........Blue Laced Red Wyndottes I am only going to have 3 breeds total so that they can be...

Well, let's see here.............Blue Orps are very pretty, a good Blue Laced Red Wyndotte is pretty, Partridge Cochins are pretty but, the one bird that I love and cannot get is the Chocolate Orpington! Only in the U.K. and only available in bantam as of now.

If you wanted to get birds from one country to another, how would you go about doing it? I'm sure this could be expensive but, I would like to know how it could be done if anyone knows. Thanks

A young pair (not kin) (about a year old) will bring anywhere from $45.00 to $75.00 . A young proven breeding pair (less than 3 years old) will bring $60.00 to $100.00. It all depends on how much you want to give and how much the seller wants to sell.

As a former truck driver, having to drive thru Ohio everyonce in a while.....I believe anything about how they (Ohio gov.) treats people. Ohio is known as the "comunist state" by most truck drivers. They have different speed limits for big trucks thinking this helps, while in reality this causes...
