They are in good condition. He was selling out of everything quail. I don’t think he had them for long to begin with. I wanted the coop they were in and my mom has been wanting quail so they are hers and I got their enclosure. He had them in one of the little chicken coops and runs you can set on the ground but he added legs and a floor to make it off the ground. I moved them to a hutch we had so they have a lot more shade to get out of the heat. I moved my seramas into their old coop. I don’t know what breeds they are other than a few jumbo.

Very nice! They dont look so bad at all! there arent breeds of quail there are subspecies. The subspecies is all the same one, Japanese Coturnix called simply 'coturnix' by most people. Your looking at different colors phases of one type of quail. Some nice color phases too! I see a Tibetan(very dark diff feather pattern,) a Tibetan tux, a wild type tux (whos real neat lookn white wings and wild back!) aside from the Halloween bator sound like a good haul.

Yeah, they look healthy enough.
I guess his hatching strategy would reasonably result in a certain number of healthy chicks. Just... also a lot of rotting eggs and a lousy incubator.

that is sooooooo nasty I use a small incubator forlock down, and give it a solid wash after they are done, and another 2 days prior but they are almost disposable after so many uses
