Fair price for Coturnix???

[sunnychooks]

I hatched some Coturnix 4 weeks ago for the first time. I want to keep some, but the rest I'd like to sell. What is a fair price for young unsexed quail? I'm in NJ.

$3 each

Here's my price list, http://sites.google.com/site/whitehousequail/home/master-price-list-download but there is always different market values for them.

Hope this helps!

Thank you both so much! That does help. Here's another question: I have a variety of colors. Some I can tell by the color of their breast feathers if they are male or female, but others I cannot. Is there any way to sex them if they are very dark or if they are white (or have white chests)?
Also, I have read about the colors, but unless I've missed it somewhere, I can't seem to find the color description with a photo that I can compare mine to so that I can know the names of their different color patterns. I know it has to be somewhere, I just can't find it!
Thanks!

ETA: I don't think they are old enough to vent sex yet. Am I correct?

You can sex coturnix quail at 3 weeks old. Ive just sold 7 pairs of 3 week old jumbo coturnix quail at £3.00 a pair, (cock&hen) i dunno what that would be in dollars though.

most weeks the dollar is about $1.50-$2.00 to 1 pound sterling

Thanks for all the info and the wonderful web links! How old do they have to be before I am able to vent sex them?

Quote:
To be accurate, they should be sexually mature, 6weeks about in Coturnix. You can feather sex them within 4 though.

Feather sex? Could you please explain this?
