Another option for quail is for ordering day old chicks. They were ridiculously cheap when ordering 100+... I got mine from a hatchery in iowa maybe sand hill??? Dont remember... I ordered 200 and got 250+/- . They were really cute but very fragile. I had them in a large brooder and if they got far from the heat source they would just pile up in a corner and die.. They are super sensitive to brooder temps when young so you really have to make sure they cant find a way to get separated from the heat source. They can also fly well within a week or two from hatching so you need a secure cover. I always found it an adventure to feed, water and clean their brooder.
