Oh gosh!
advertised a pair of Coturnix I was willing to sell...and I guy contacted me wanting my free trio of buttons, and asked if I'd be willing to sell him one more coturnix to make it a trio for him. I said i'd have to look at my flock to see if i'd be willing to give another away and he said that was fine. He then went on to mention that he had bobwhite quail and we were talking about how they sing so pretty. He then said "ya interested in any of those?" and i said "....what, like in a trade?" and he goes "sure!" and i said "well i have been considering getting them....well i'll tell you what, how does 3 coturnix for a pair of bobwhites sound?" and he goes "i'll do you one better, three for three" and I was like "woah, okay!" LOL!
So if the snow isnt too bad this weekend he'll becoming all the way down from up north (he's probably 3-4 hours from me
) to pick up my trio of button quails as well as swapping me three coturnix for three bobwhites!
Since people raise bobwhites and coturnix together, I think I'll just keep the trio in my main pen with my browns since I am one of the many who dont believe bobwhites can easily mix with coturnix.
If theres any fighting ofcourse I'll switch them out though!
They're the JUMBO bobwhites by the way....thankfully im legally allowed to own them....just not sell them...however if anyone in the future wants some jumbo bobwhite hatching eggs with their order of coturnix eggs from me i'll throw some in. I wont be breeding bobwhites on a large scale, and they wont be my focus of selling, but if someone askes i'll give just so they're laying.
I just can't wait to hear the boy sing!
My text ringtone is a bobwhite call after all
