Can anyone recommend an egg source that is not sold out?

[enigmachick]

We are thinking maybe 6 quail chicks or eggs. Either Coturnix or BobWhite (any opinions? A friend said bobwhites are more friendly but coturnix seem the breed of choice generally?). I live in Illinois and our winters are hard.

Anyway, places seem sold out like crazy right now with Covid...does anyone know a good source that I can get a small number (I have seen them for like 30 eggs) of quality birds?

EBay has a ton of eggs, ive had good luck there my best buys have been from Scarborough farms and Myshire Farms.

Check your local craigslist?

I would check your local craigslist before checking eBay.

I might have a few extra eggs laying around.

Do you have a cage ready?

Craigslist has NOTHING around here . I don't have a cage yet, we're trying to figure out the best option.

I've been selling out of chicks almost as fast as I can hatch them. I have someone picking up 4 dozen hatching eggs tomorrow. It's crazy how fast they're going.

Alchemist farm they have eggs. Or do you want like 2-5 eggs not 6. They have jumbo coturnix, celedon blue egg laying quails (alchemist blue) and many other purebred poultry. What state are you in if your too far away they can't ship it to you

I have all chicks sold and even some presold and more folks contacting me every week. Its crazy how word gets around when it’s something not a lot of folks sell. It would probably be very hard to buy from Craigslist right now with Coronavirus. I’m just trying to get enough eggs out of my quail to hatch.
