first time ordering fertile eggs

[bush]

Hi, I am planning to order a&m texas eggs next month only about 15. I have heard good things about James Marie farms, have any of you purchased from them or have any other recommendations? This will be my 1st time hatching getting excited! Thanks in advance for your replies.

Bush, I honestly believe that there are no better hatching eggs.

Some of my original stock was JMF. Primo stuff, gets big and stays healthy and puts off quality offspring.

I just ordered our first hatching eggs too and they are from JMF. I called and talked to Robby for at least a half hour. He was so helpful and full of information. We are expecting them in a couple of weeks. I've only read good things about JMF and after talking yo Robby I can see why.

ChickenGarden,
If you can add anything to this post from your conversation with the King of Quail, it would be greatly appreciated. I think this thread would be a great reference source for anyone wanting to hatch quail.

I ordered a hovabator still air. I read good things about it, pretty inexpensive and I'm home enough to turn eggs and check temps throughout the day. We are in Washington state so our weather is probably more mild than Delaware now
Robby asked what we're looking for in quaill, meat, eggs or pets. Since we are going to raise them for eggs/pets. He recommended several breeds and he is even mixing the eggs for us, he offered that which I thought was really nice. I will have to find my list that has the breeds. He assured me they were docile and good egg layers.
Bush good luck to you!
James on that list I wrote lots of notes. I will try and add to that thread in the next day or so. He was so nice, told me about his family and how he named his farm.
