Egg or Chick

[Tikkajazz94]

I have a two choices with the type of quail I want. Both are brown.

So I can get eggs for $6 a dozen (Hatching rate unknown) or eggs for $15 For 2 dozen (Excellent hatch rate).

Or

I can get Chicks for $10 (I think each) from a breeder.

The breeder (Chicks) is in BC, The $15 eggs is in BC and The $6 is Ontario. No shipping added (yet). But If I do get Chicks, I need to know the best way to ship them Canada post (Our postal office, sort of a Bad rep right now) or Greyhound (Bus)? or is there Canadian options I'm not looking at?

I Hope you can help me out
Thanks,
TJ

I personally would go with the eggs with the excellent hatch rate. Because chicks can die in transit. Plus watching them hatch is so much fun!

Ah Okay.

So... I need to test my Incubator. I have two Bases for my Bator. One is broke and the other isn't. So Im going to See which one works. I Emailed the Lady who has the $15 Excellent hatch, To see if she will have some for around my next paycheck. Now I get to Choose: white, tux or Brown..... I think brown since they are easy to sex...

I love tuxedo's personally, and the little harder sexing isn't THAT bad.. Of course I started with 4 adult tuxedo's.. And had quail lady to help me sex them.. Of course some of them crowed.. That helped too. But I am not biased I have jumbo browns in my bator, as well as an assortment of colors.
