Multiple Quail (meat processing question)

It could be worse. If the people next door are vegans, they would chew your ears off.

LOL! Actually I did raise a batch of CornishX with the neighbor, we decided for the $ and effort it is easier to buy it packaged. I'm really raising the quail to see if I can get enough volume to feed my dogs.

You and I could be married to the same man.... almost, I had to build my own coops. LOL Where in the metro mess are you? I'm in Blue Ridge but go to Mckinney to work, used to live in Dallas. I am brand new into quail and am about to process my first group, I have another batch in the incubator. Would be fun to know someone locally who is into the same thing. Even my neighbors think i'm a little nutty. Edit to add I live in the country and my neighbors all keep animals of different varieties.... only as pets. *sigh*

Welcome to it, then. I'm in West Dallas, right over the levy. We just bought our place in November and I love it--EVERYBODY has a fence, a big loud dog, and a flock of chickens so my ducks and quail don't raise any eyebrows. Where's you get your starter? Matt on Craigslist is my quail egg man, sold me a couple of batches of a few dozen for five bucks each while I'm getting my flock going. His birds are second-generation James Marie derived, and they're very good stock--he's a VERY mindful breeder. But Jeromie at Aggie Feed and Chick carries eyebrow-raisingly good stock of birds, too. Both Texas A&M.

I ordered mine online. Coturnix so I can sex them easily.
