$25 for a button quail?

[shelleyd2008]

I know manarc23 lives in PA as well, and from what she has said, there are not that many button breeders in that area. So it is all just a case of supply and demand. monarc told me that the person she had found wanted $50 for a pair, so I think $45 is a bargain! It all just depends on how many people there are that sell them in your area. I probably could get $5 at most for one here.

Shelly, I live closer to her than Monarch does, and I'm paying $2 per chick. I don't know, I just feel that it's silly to spend that much when you can have them shipped in for cheaper. It's like paying $99.99 for a ball python of unknown origin at the petstore when you can buy three for $110 shipped to your door from a breeder with a guarantee.

I have to agree Bettacreek. Im sure you can find some one very willing to ship you button quail, much cheaper than that. Id wait.

Lmao, I'm so sorry! You kind of can't tell online. If it makes you feel any better, I'm confused for a guy all of the time. Sorry!

No worries, I do it all the time! LOL

last year I had about 20 adult button quail shipped to me through USPS express(I think) for about $40, I only paid shipping not for the quail themselves, they were rescues out of about 1000, but still I would bet you could get them for less and from a person more willing to help you out.

Hey Jackie,
Did you happen to get these through me? I know I shipped several different packages of them to CA when I did a rescue of 1000 of them a year and a half ago. I shipped 700 of them throughout the country. It was the hottest summer we have had in awhile and out of the 700 only 6 were lost to the heat. It was amazing! Shipping has gone up quite a bit since then though.
