I was given some chickens by my uncle and when I went to pick them up I got the ol " have I got a deal for you" lol. His "deal" was that I should take 14 button quail that he hatched lol. They are mixed colors and sexes, not sure what sex they are as I have trouble with the whole vent sexing thing but they are still pretty young.
If anyone is in Northwest Missouri I would be glad to give you a pair or trio of them, I am going to keep a few of them for my son but I do not want to keep all 14, I am not interested in shipping them, only locals.
I built an outdoor hutch type enclosure with a solid floor and good ventilation but warm with a built in heat light and thermostat for the cold nights. They are neat little guys and gals and all of them seem to have a unique or funny personality from ornery to lazy lol. The reason he wanted to get rid of them was that he did not know much about them and they started plucking BAD and he was tired of trying to get them to get along, he did not realize the space needed for so many of them. I built my cage on a 4ftx8ft base and it is 30 inches high with a divider down the center so each of the two sides has 2ftx8ft of floor space, my intention is to separate them in half until they are a little older to sex them for sure. Apparently they have already laid some eggs, but he did not know which one or ones laid them and they have not laid in the 2 days I have had them.
If you have any questions or comments please comment here or send me a message, if you are in NW MO and are interested in a couple or 3 let me know
