Am I doing something stupid

[pringle]

Texas A&M quail and any other color Coturnix quail all taste exactly the same,the myth that texas A&M quail have all white meat is not true.

Yes, the "Sportsman" holds about 3-5 times more than 300 quail eggs. (Somewhere between 1000-1600)

Salt, pepper, flour, and pan fry anything you call game. If it don't taste good to you like that, then move on to something else!

Do those place buy quail from regular Joes? I can't think of any reason to hatch 1100 Quail except for the sport hunting industry.

Oh yes, the eggs are quite good and supposedly lower in cholesterol. Jumbo Coturnix eggs are a pretty good size, (4 make a small chicken egg) while Jumbo Bobs ( Bultlers) have almost normal sized eggs for a Bob. If you hatch 300 you will surely lose a bunch as the Bobs are more fragile in brood. Then figure they take a while to reach maturity, about six months. Then add in the cost of feed, overhead such as electricity, and then your labor. $5.00 to 7.00 per bird is a good price. $15.00 ? Where do I bring them ?

I have a sportsman and you can do 1200 Quail eggs in it, just stack the egg trays, up until this morning ( hatch starting ) I had 400 Quail and 20 turkey eggs in it and could fit another 5 trays of Quail if I had them. It will hold a Butt load of Quail eggs........

Yup...and you need a "Butt load" of hatcher space to hatch them all out too.
