Hi guys, more Quail Q's. What is a good breed of quail for a beginner that is planning on having 3 girls and one 1 male and selling the fertile egg to cover the cost of feed, bedding etc.
Also what is the best flooring for there pen and best bedding for them. Will they need a little sleeping hutch thing. Like perhaps small cardboard boxes!
Do they need nesting boxes?lol.

Wow that is a big boy!! I can't imagine him jumping anything and leaving it in one piece behind him!

Yes the kite will take chicks. They are predators and will take any opening to feed

He was back today in the gum tree above the quarantine pen. They all ran for cover though so at least they are aware of him.

I've tied rows of bird netting over the pen so hope than keeps the darn thing out!

Quail are looking gooooood! I have a dozen pipped, though no hatches yet from the 37 eggs.

Both brooders are now up and ready... all they need are some baby ducks and quails!
