    What is he? Will he be staying?

    I am not sure exactly what breed it would be, but if I am not mistaken there were several catch and release with turkeys around the US tryign to reestablish wild turkey populations that have resulted in cross-bred hybrids. If you see 2 traits in that bird, that could easily be the case.

    Got my GG eggs today

    We killed a few GG's 2 weeks ago, mainly the excess roosters we had been feeding out. They were huge, I wish I had weighed them, but they were easily twice as big as a normal quail. The breasts were huge. And they tasted great. As I remember, we only had about a 50% hatch, but we didn't order...

    100 Coturnix in the bator! hatch date 3/6!

    We put in 120 coturnix last Saturday, so we are a little bit ahead of you. It's time to test the cold weather fertility. We are not getting our expectations up to early, but we are hoping to get quite a few.

    quail egg cutters

    We have tried several recipes of the internet, but we weren't interested in the picling spice taste. It seems like the best quail eggs I ate from the store just had pepper spice and vinegar, so that is what we tried last time. I went to the local Mexican supermarket and talked to the owner and...

    Question regarding Alabama laws about quail

    If any one has any experience with the laws in Alabama, please shootm a PM for some questions. I can't find anything on the elusive Alabama Wildlife website about anything except bobs. I am wanting to sell fresh coturnix eggs (not guaranteed hatching eggs), and possibly hatch and sell some...

    I'm in the home stretch on Shelley eggs!!

    So for anyone wondering about shelley eggs, I finally hatched out 69 total out of 100 eggs. Nearly 70% on shipped eggs is not bad from what I hear. They are all thrifty as they can be, and growing like mad. I'll try to get the digital camera away form my wife and get some pictures to...

    I'm in the home stretch on Shelley eggs!!

    Another update through Day 17: There were 43 last night, I just moved 12 more out of the bator tonight, and left 2 in that wre not dry yet. So I am up to 57, or 57% which is not bad. I am still anticipating hatching going on over night and tomorrow. I am letting them sit until Wednesday or...

    Are All Quail Sweet?

    The first batch I hatched were bobwhites, and they are wild as they can be. When they were chicks they flipped out every time I got into the brooder. Now thatthey are 7 week sold, they are worse. The coturnix that hatched last night are docile in comparison, so it may be a breed specific thing.

    I'm in the home stretch on Shelley eggs!!

    For an update, I heard chirping yesterday morning, but seeing pips in a dark incubator in coturnix eggs was a futile effort. I went about the business of processing our mutt chickens and my wife came out around 4 and asked if I knew I had quail hatching. I said yes. When I looked, it awas...

    Cheap Quail Eggs

    I bought 120 eggs from them and I only had around 50 hatch. Only 11 were not developed (clear) when I candled early. They had good fertility, but I didn't hatch nearly as many as I thought I would. I don't know that it is their fault, as the eggs were shipped, and this was my first time...

    Coturnix.....dark meat question

    Also, I see that people are breeding so mayn diferent colors of coturnix. Does this affect the meat at all? Or are some colors more specifically made for meat, other than A&Ms of course.

    Coturnix.....dark meat question

    So I have seen on the forums that Coturnix have dark meat. I have had bobs before, and they were mostly white. By dark meat, do you mean like dark meat on a chicken, or do you mean like dark (really dark) meat that is on a dove? I like both, just want to clarify before I get into coturnix...

    Quail Eggs F/S in TN

    Where exactly in Middle Tennessee? I am in DeKalb County Alabama (northeast corner). I might be interested in the Coturnix, but I don't need buttons. Would that be a problem?

    I have 40 bobwhites in North Alabama, but that does you no good. There was a gentleman in Columbus, GA on here last week somtime trying to cull some 5 week olds from his flock, but I have no idea what colors they were. You might look that post up and ask him, if you don't mind a little travel...
