So, went down to my local feed store to pick up feed for our flock of birds. And I venture off into the back to see what they have in their chick section. Low and behold, I find cute little balls of feathers and just had to have some. (Much to the husband's displeasure,) I gathered a good many so I could get a decent ratio of male and females. They had these little guys only labeled as quail. No idea which breed these little guys even are. The closest I could find were coturnix, but I figured I may ask if anyone else may have an idea. If they are, I've counted 10 females due to breast color. Along with 16 males. Which unfortunately means a cull is soon to come for a good many if they are males. I've already heard five of the ones I labeled males, crow. So I'm for sure on them, I'm just really wanting to make sure I know what kind of quails I've got. And if anyone has any advice on processing, like what age is it best to begin, and things like that, I would really appreciate it!
