Its all from your pair, they are doing great and hatching early! I haven't got any from another breeder yet. Cant wait to see the babies. they are hit and miss so far, about 50%  but with the move its understandable.I just love the hen, she is a real sweetie.

oh! Thats great! Im glad u got babies from them!

Does anybody on here raise quail or know anything about them?I am thinking about and considering getting some. I am going to do some research on them to see what all they need and all that but I would also like to hear from people that have had hands on experience with them. Can you have more than one male in a pen?(i didnt know if they could get aggressive like some roosters). Are quail in general friendly? Are they flighty?Do they handle cold weather well? I have a lot of other questions but I will do some research and see what i can find out too. But anything about them would be much appricaited. Thanks

I am just starting, and Bradselig on here has raised them too. They are the size of a bumblebee at hatch, just precious!
Here is a thread with some good info to start.
