Lots of shared knowledge, info, experience here in the forum. Browse around and make yourself at home. When you have questions, post away. Lots of great folks here who are willing to offer help/support. Best luck with your quail "start up". Since you raise meat rabbits, you might consider joining the sister site: wwwww.backyardherds.com As there's a quite active group of rabbitteers over there. Good folks there too. Glad to have you with us.

Oh, please put at least your general location in your profile. It can have a big impact on recommendations when you need help. You know, climate and such...

Thanks and also Thank You for your service.

Welcome! Quail will be fun. Interested in any other poultry?

Because of where I live Chickens are anything else would require to much space. I would love chickens and turkeys but don’t have the space.

Ask questions and be prepared for trial and error. Everyone starts somwhere.

We have two California/NZ crosses, but mostly pedigreed Standard Rex. We have a hobby farm, so the heritage
poultry is fun
