Bob White Quail- where to get chicks?

[spotsplus]

One of my new things this year is Bob White Quail. I have a trio and enjoy having them. I would like to find a supplier that will ship day olds and priced less than 1.50 each. Looking for 50 - 100. I know they are not available yet but looking to see who will have them and at that price- any recommendations?

You should hatch some?

I could but in the end it's less expensive to buy day-olds since I only have 2 small incubators and the eggs are almost the same price as the chicks. Unless..... I hatched my pair's eggs.... that may be my last resort

Anyone seen any hatcheries that will have them at that price?

McMurray, 100 for $1.19 each plus $38.06 shipping = $1.55 ea.

Once again PLEASE dont use a major hatchery to buy gamebirds. Many people seem to be saying this lately. Support local breeders and or private breeders. There are plenty of people on this forum who breed bobwhite....but this time of year you are only going to find Southern and some Western breeders offering eggs. It is the off season up here in the NE. Try eggbid and ebay...for eggs. For chicks try Lake Cumberland.
