Fair price for male coturnix

[kristenm1975]

I'm in Seattle and will have some extra males. I don't want to harvest, so I figured I'd just sell. They'll be six week old, fed organic, non-GMO feed. How much should I ask, do you think?

where i live they only ask 2-3 dollars for male coturnix quails.
but where i live quails are not hat popular so i have a hard time getting any

Youll be lucky to give them away most of the time. Quail people already have extra roosters themselves and not a lot of folks are cruisingthe web looking for a meal that still needs to be killed. if you can sell them at all they are only worth a couple dollars.

That's very good to know, thank you!

I usually sell my males between a buck or two. And DC is so right, most quail people have more extra roosters than they will ever need. I think i have 40 extra at the moment and only like 20 hens.

Dang what you usually ratio in male and females just curious

 

[kristenm1975]

Fortunately I was able to arrange it so I can just give the seller back the extra males. I live too far out for most people to feel its worth the drive and the ferry ride for creatures they will still need to butcher.

 

[WaterfowlWierdo]

I do one male to ever 4-7 females

 

[fisher101]

Yea but it don't determine the hatch rate dose it or the ratio male to female

Sounds good but don't fertility go down at that man hens
