Thank you all!
They are Texan A&M Quail.
And I have no clue what I am going to do with the adults! LOL

I was at the chicken swap in Danville and the guy that was next to me had quail, I have bought chickens from him so I know him on a first name basis. I asked him what are you going to do with the quail eggs that his quail had laid that day, he said nothing here you want them? I accepted and then he went and got me a whole dozen of them that he had collected!! I got home from the swap and put them in my incubator......16 days later I have quail!!!! I am going to try pickling the eggs and I would like to try meat and also release some.....(yep, I have a permit

)

I just would like to say for those of you hatchaholics........ you NEED to try these little cuties out!!!

Very cute! Howeevverrr get some button quail hatching eggs and hatch those...THEN you'll see what small is!

I've honestly never heard of people realeasing Coturnix Quail (A & Ms are coturnixs). Anyone have any info on releasing them?? I dont want to know to release mine as I know they'dj ust get eaten here, but im curious if others do.

by they way are you sure they're A & Ms? I thought A & Ms only came in white? Your lil guy looks just like my Pharoah Coturnix. (Pharoah just means wild color type).

here is what A & Ms are supposed to look like:

I just had 2 solid white ones hatch. The cage that the guy took them out of the quail were white and pied looking. And I guess I was thinking about bob white quail, those are from the wild. Maybe I shouldn't release them!

I would like to try some button, but what do you do with them?!! I am still trying to figure out what to do with these huge ones! LOL
