Around Austin Texas?

[ashannon]

I got 45 quail eggs to hatch and none of them did. My kids were pretty depressed. Does anyone know a place around Austin Texas that I can buy more eggs or chicks? Quail or mallards would be great. Thank you.

I always order from Ideal, because they're right here in Texas. You can find a link to Ideal and a couple of other Texas hatcheries on my website... www.CountryChickens.com.

I contacted both of those places but neither one have any chicks right now. I found one person in texas but it's a 2 hour drive each way and i dont think I can fit that into my schedule. Any other ideas to get some quail chicks?

I've seen several ads on craigslist the last couple of weeks for quail chicks and eggs in and around Austin. What kind and how many are you looking for?

Here's some in Bastrop: http://austin.craigslist.org/grd/1218397503.html

I'm looking for 50 quail chicks for $1 each. Have you seen any like that?

go look at the quail section here, people are selling eggs like crazy. ive bought a few dozen from different folks a lot cheaper than a 1$ each. im sure you can find chicks too
