I just found this thread, I live in Burleson county, I hatch different eggs as a hobby, I give the pullets to whoever wants them, along with cockerels if they want them, but most of the time they don’t, so I end up butchering them.
I was raising quail but it got totally out of hand and I ended up getting rid of them, if I could have sold live quail and eggs I would have kept doing it, but everyone wants them butchered and I advertised jumbo corturnix quail eggs for $3/dozen and didn’t sell any, I did enjoy hatching and raising them they grow so fast, but I’ll be content hatching out chickens and guinea eggs when I can get them.
