A dozen cortunix eating eggs?
A dozen guinea hatching eggs?
A dozen cortunix hatching eggs?

I have to post some on craigslist because I don't want to waste them and I really have never thought about it.

Have you considered posting them here?

I charge the same for eating and hatching eggs Oh annd hehe it's spelled COTURNIX

(said Ka-tur-nix) only tellin ya cuz when you start selling people may be like "what's a cortunix?" LOL!

I charge for 20+ eggs which includes shipping I honestly don't knwo what I'd charge for someone local to buy only a doz from me, probably would just give them to them if they were buying a few quails to be honest

I've seen guineas go for $13+ for a doz

 

[citalk2much]

If it helps any I charge .50 per hatching eggs in button quail

 

[shelleyd2008]

I normally get at least $9 for 6 guineas eggs, so I would charge at least $1 an egg on those.

I also get $6 for 1 dozen button quail eggs, and $5 for coturnix eggs. I haven't sold any for just eating, but I would probably charge the same either way. Most people in my area that want them for eating would rather have them pickled already, so I guess I could charge whatever!

Oh, and don't feel bad about the typo, people in my area would ask 'whats a coturnix' no matter which way you say it! They think of those as 'pharoahs'

I wasn't trying ot make her feel bad goofball. i was just informing her she was spellin em wrong incase she didnt notice

and yes theres some dumb dumbs out there that have no clue what a coturnix is they think theres only bobwhites out there lol.

 

[shelleyd2008]

Yeah, one of those dumb dumbs is kind of ticked at me I think. I sold them some jumbo brown and A&M white chicks a month or so ago. I guess they thought the A&M were the bobwhites, cause they sought me out at the auction this past week. They told me the birds aren't the white bobwhites, and I said 'I know, they are A&M's, I told you that?!?' They then asked me what an A&M was

idiots....Not my fault they don't know their birds!!

You wouldn't believe how many calls/emails i get of people wanting to buy *my* bobwhites. these people act like experts and I'm like "sorry i don't raise bobwhites i raise coturnix" then I have to explain what a coturnix is. LOL. It's like they completley miss the part on my website that states "coturnix"

 

[texaschickmama]

Thank you for correcting me. That is one thing that gets on my nerves is misspellings. I have seen it both ways and I guess my brain was just fried last night. Coturnix................ got it.

Let me get this straight............... I thought A & Ms were bob whites just white in color. Please set the record straight for me. I don't like white birds. Do the A & Ms come in the pretty speckly brown "natural" color?

 

[AHappychick]

the a&M are mostly white with a little brown in them, the best part about them is that they are all white meat
