Maybe 24. Have never had quail, but they sound delicious and I wish to boil their tiny eggs for cute kid snacks. Just want to keep maybe 6 females and 2 males at first to keep it going. But you can't beat a 6 week turn around and 16 day incubation.

I've never had mine start laying at six weeks. Eight is more like it. Still, no complaints here! And if you're willing to spend the time, they make awesome deviled eggs for a party!


They lay well...seasonally, but well during the season. You can easily get over run!

[COLOR=0000FF]DS returns from a trip today.[/COLOR] So this week or so we'll be transporting him and his animals back up to Boone. I'm not exactly sure when he'll be going back, though. He may want to chill out a bit and get fed a lot of American food before he heads back...or he may want to go home tomorrow!

Hope he had fun, and know you are some proud parents who are glad to have him back home.  

You got that right! And glad he didn't get worse injuries and illnesses than he did. He managed to get some kind of jungle rot skin thing, and a bad twist of his ankle coming down out of a tree with a viper. He could have caught his balance and saved his ankle, but he would have had to let go of the viper. He chose wisely. But glad to have him back.

Sorry about his little mishaps. But I would have done the same thing.....well not now but when I was younger

I'm a little bit outside of Boone for sure, but not too far. Where do you come through, I know you said east..but do you pass through Marion nc?

Does anyone know how you sell birds on here locally?
All I can find are like auction threads and you have to ship.

I don't want to ship, but I hatched too many eggs!
I don't want them to go to auction and hate having to use craigslist.

Thanks!

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there! Enjoy your day!

What are you looking to sell? I might be interested depending on what breeds you have.

I've got 13 broodies right now, in four different hen houses.  The Ameraucanas are the worst, with six broodies.  Then three Welsummers.  And the rest are assorted Orpingtons.  My egg production is obviously way off.  And I don't have a place to put a broody to let her sit safely.    Might try my breeding pens, but I think chicks could get out of there too easily.  Hmmmmm.....

I still have a very large dog with diarrhea, despite being on meds.  I think I'll be sleep deprived forever. 

Hope your Saturday is lovely!

I'm down to 9, and the silkies are thinking about it again.

I *have GOT* to get rid of some of the boys. Have. Got. To.

I'm in the RM area and willing to drive a little bit to meet. I have a 2 white silkies, 3 SSH/birchen cochin bantam or mille fleur d'Uccle mixes; prolly one light brahma; and then prolly another 3 mixes I can part with. I can give pics, but I'll start with Snap, Crackle, and Pop.....
