I love my little Gambels!!!!! They're still in the "baby brooder" even though they're a couple months old b/c I want them as safe as possible!

 

[KellyHM]

Do you have any other types of quail? I have Coturnix and Buttons, and 1 lone Bobwhite male.

 

[bradleyfarm]

I use to have about 50 bob white.. they are nuts.. I sold the whole flock. I couldn't get them to stop eating on each other. I have a lone mountain quail, as you know, ringneck doves, buff, and ameriucana chicks, and 5 silkies, and my gambles

Yeah, the Bobwhites are weird. I may give that one away and use the pen for my Gambels when they grow up.

Let me speak to my husband before I get my hopes up.. in a 3 day period I may only be able to get 6 eggs.. as I said before they are laying 2 a day.. one hen per egg..... maybe 1 silkie per 2 gambles?? I am so unsure of my hatch rate that I am nervious to ask for anything else

That sounds fine. And I don't mind if they're 4 or 5 days old if it means more...they should do just fine at a week old. If you want to send me 8 or so I'll send you 1/2 dozen Silkie eggs...do you prefer BBS or white? I have a couple orders to fill, so it may be a week or two before I can get them out to you.

a couple of weeks would be fine.. that will give me time to candle the eggs I have in the incubator to see how many are fertal. I will get back to you.. hey.. this way we pay for the shipping of the eggs our self so no pay pal involved.. I will over night mine so you will have a good a hatch rate as I can give you
