    Problems with James Marie Farms

    Does anyone know what's happening at James Marie Farms? I was told by my contact there that he had some medical problems and now I haven't heard back from him in awhile. I ordered some eggs from him and had a huge problem with my order. I posted about it here...

    When do you guys process your quail? And remove supplemental heating?

    I did a quick Google search but came up with limited and conflicting information. Assuming it gets cold at night, when is it safe to move quail to "grow-out pens" away from a heat lamp? And when is the "standard" time for butchering quail (cuturnix)? 6 weeks? Thanks!

    Are white leghorn roosters and road island red roosters any more aggressive than other breeds?

    I was kind of under the assumption (probably false assumption) that it probably mattered more how a rooster was raised than what breed they were as far as their aggressive behavior goes. I want a few roosters in case I decide to breed my flock, and I had figured that a few road island reds and...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    I just got my 100 coturnix quail eggs from James Marie Farms. I wanted standard sized quail, which they said they provide, and marked on the package that they sent me, and now when I'm trying to fit them into the incubator there is NO way that they are the right size for the quail racks. I...

    To jumbo or not to jumbo? What are the upsides and downsides of going jumbo with Cuturnix?

    I'm about to the point where I'm ready to order my quail eggs but after shopping around for eggs, I realize now that there is a huge segment of Cuturnix quail that are "jumbo". What are people's thoughts on going with jumbo cuturnix vs. standard cuturnix? How big can you go before the eggs...

    Would there be anything wrong with using a rabbit cage for a quail cage?

    I'm struggling to find affordable quail cages online. They are only available from a small handful of vendors and shipping costs are deal-breakers. On the other hand, there are a plethora of rabbit cage vendors, and the price tends to be about half for a similar size cage. What would be...

    Are "pearl white leghorns" hybrids?

    I just ordered pearl white leghorns from Murray McMurray hatchery and while talking with their customer service they mentioned that they don't recommend them for breeding. Are they hybrids or why wouldn't you breed pearl white leghorns? I have 4 of them already in my current flock and I...

    I think I just ordered the wrong breeds - any suggestions for me?

    Hi, I am wanting about 30 chickens for a purely egg-laying flock. Meat production doesn't matter to me at all. I also want to be able to keep a few roosters on standby to be able to reproduce the flock if I should so desire to. I went out and placed an order for pearl white leghorns, black...

    Hi, New to quail and have a question. Was I planning on doing things the wrong way?

    Hi, I'd love some help with my problem. I'm almost done building my livestock barn and have built a chicken area for my 30 chickens, and have also built a nearby quail area. I have a lot of experience with chickens but very little experience with quail so I'm not sure I am doing things...
