    Welcome to my BYC page. My name is Jeff, and my poultry outfit is Mystery Ridge Farm. I live in the Appalachian Mountains in southwest Virginia. I have several different breeds of chickens: Hatchery stock Barred Rock and Partridge Rock. I will have hatching eggs for sale from these in the spring...

    Boy the grow up fast **PICS**

    Hey Mochicken, your birds are looking great. Thought I'd share a couple of mine since our hatches were about the same time. I took about 10 pictures and never once would one of the two tuxedos get in the picture. Then my batter went dead. But here are pictures of a brown and golden. They...

    Anyone Sell Butchered Quail?

    Just wanted to point out that moose isn't on that list either, but I don't think we can raise them.

    What is wrong with my quail???

    BigDaddy'sGurl : Here goes: I am not a good quail hatcher. Bad luck and barely get any to hatch, don't know why. Give me chicken eggs, I get 100%. Give me quail, I'm lucky to get 30%. So, I incubated 42 coturnix eggs and ended up with 14 live chicks. Fast forward 4 weeks and I am down to...

    Anyone Sell Butchered Quail?

    Quote: Maybe in some states this is true, but the law varies from state to state. Here in Virginia it is illegal to own bobwhite quail unless you have a permit, and it is illegal to sell them to anyone unless they also have a permit. Coturnix quail do not fall under that category and can be...

    Despicable Me

    I moved my quail into a bigger rubbermaid container. I have a light in there for warmth. I happened to look over at the brooder from across the room and could see the profile of a quail through the plastic as it moseyed from one end of the other. The way it hunkers over and the back meets the...

    Anyone Sell Butchered Quail?

    I found the USDA exemption laws. The link is below. Under the federal law you can kill up to 1000 birds a year provided they were raised on your farm and are not going out of state. There is also an exemption for those who kill 20,000 birds or less that is pretty easy to fall under...

    Should I let my cot hatch out a clutch?

    I agree! It would be neat if she does hatch some out. Of course, you have to show us pictures when they hatch.

    Anyone Sell Butchered Quail?

    Oh, I would definitely check the laws before doing it. Just wondered who all did it and their experience. I have a ways to go before I'll even have any to sell.

    Thanks H2Pot. I like surprises so just letting them mix is cool with me. What does that mean with the having a lethal gene exactly? Does that mean I should not breed those to each other?

    † Quail Breeders Club †

    Well, I have a question about breeding since I'm new to this. I just hatched out my first and have 2 tuxedos, 2 golden and the rest are browns. Of course, they are still too little for me to know what sex any of them are. I don't know yet exactly what I want to do breeding wise (other than...

    Ok, so options were.... feeding question update from other post

    As most everyone knows I had a terrible time finding any game bird feed, but at the last minute (a few days before my first coturnix were about to hatch) Southern States got in some game bird feed which I think is 28%. It is medicated, but I understand from several here that it is okay to eat...

    Anyone Sell Butchered Quail?

    My uncle and cousin used to raise rabbits to sell, and for a few dollars more would butcher them for customers. My understanding in Virginia as far as chickens go one must be USDA inspected to sell butchered poultry, but I don't know if quail falls under that requirement or not. Seems like...

    Updated Pics of my "golden wonder" chick

    My two little goldens are feathering out very similar to yours, mochicken. Little boogers sure grow fast.

    They're all finally here. Pictures.

    Right now mine sound like somebody is pecking on a teeny tiny typewriter, so it must be chow time. I have two little coke bottle lids in there as drinking pots. It is just the right size for them. They sure do empty them in a hurry though. Might have to go up to a Skoal can or something...

    They're all finally here. Pictures.

    Ended up with 11 babies in all. I have to attribute the success mainly to Hot2Pot's great packing techniques. Thanks H2P! I have dark brown with stripes, light brown and stripes, yellow with stripes, and solid brown backs with yellow bellies. I am trying to guess what colors they will...

    Chick has bad feet

    Thanks Quail Lady, I was wondering if it were something like that. The legs are not splaying, but seem too weak to bear weight along with the feet curled. Another hatched a while ago and started off the same way, but seems to be gaining strength. Another is pipping and I'll just have to...
