Hi! My name is Andrew and I have a flock of quail. Because I don't have chickens, per se, I'll be switching out the terms in this template, haha!

(1) Are you new to [quail] / when did you first get [quail]? I am new! I got my flock as babies about two weeks ago. They are now three-week-olds and I love them dearly.

(2) How many [quail] do you have right now? Eight! And somehow they're all hens...

(3) What breeds do you have? They're all coturnix, but the color varieties I have are: 2 greys, 1 silver/snowy, 2 tibetans, 2 goldens, and 1 mix (idk what she is, she has a really unique color I've never seen before)

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard [quail]? They're cute, they're urban-friendly, they're quiet, and they're entertaining! They're also rather social. I have one of my quail sitting on my desk right now as I write this :)

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Hiking, baking/cooking, gardening, and I dabble in writing.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am currently still living in my parents' house, but this coming year I'll be going to trade school to become a repair luthier. (Google it!) I have a garden and honeybees besides my flock, and as far as pets go, I have a cat and a bearded dragon.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D While researching before getting my flock, some of the most concise and helpful info I found were from these forums. This made me decide to join because quail are still fairly obscure and it seems like a gold mine of helpful information!
 
Hello there Andrew and welcome to BYC! :frow

Quail are so much fun to keep! Such big personality in a tiny package. Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
Thank you! I agree, they are a lot of fun. :)
