we used to have a member here from Ohio named Vera thats all she did was quail. She offered me eggs but I was afraid I couldnt care for them. She did them in her house.

Remember her.

The main thing I’ve noticed is that they are a lot dumber than chickens Otherwise similar in terms of care. Oh and also…they fly I didn’t estimate that part correctly the first time I had quail.

I enjoyed my quail. Some of the white ones would jump onto my.hand.

They hatch like popcorn!

The older I get the less my back likes lifting. Looking at ounces vs pounds in quail vs chickens. As far as eggs go the best one are 12 weeks or so after hatching and then fried. Quail wouldn't take that long to be old enough to fry would they?

9 have hatched and 27 are either zipping or have pipped. The white one is the latest hatch. I hope we get more white ones! My favorite so far is the silver but he’s not in the pic. The tuxedo is a fun lil guy too.

There's nothing like a big bowl of Cookies and Cream ice cream after a day like today. I justify it as a good buffering for the meds I'm about to bounce off of it.

I have a friend over in the Ozarks raising quail. She's about got me ready to take the plunge and get some hatching eggs from her supplier as he has the ones I had been looking for. Big meaty birds.
