Hello! I am new to this forum. I grew up in Saratoga NY and just moved back from Boston where I lived for 6 years. My new house has some nice land and I hope to build a chicken coop this summer and get some fabulous fowl to fill it!

However, right now I really need some help. I have a lonely male button quail. His "wife" and he had 4 sets of babies over the last two years and I found new homes for all the babies. Now I wish that I had kept some. Last fall, my little guy lost his lover and has been so so lonely ever since. I'm listening to him call out for a mate right now. Ever since then I've been desperately searching for a new mate for him. Ideally I'd like two females of the same age as eachother, so when he goes, they won't be lonely, but all I seem to find are males...and they fight. Does anyone know anyone in the Saratoga/Albany area that has button quails that would be willing to sell me a female or two? I have a large a beautiful enclosure for them and a little gourd house, which is where my previous female hatched out her eggs and take good care of my birds.

If anyone knows anyone who breeds button quails...please let me know! My poor guy has lonely long enough.

Thank you so much!!

I haven't posted in a LONG time..

...our third (human) baby hatched and we've been busy on the homestead. How was everyone's winter?(or lack of) I am itching for more hatches! I just set 5 dozen eggs, some pure, some mutts, can't wait. We also just got some Muscovy ducks to add to the homestead for mosquito patrol and meat, and 2 rabbits for making more little meat rabbits.

What's everyone got brewing in the bators? -erin-

Can't wait to fire up the bator! I just got one for Christmas (Little Giant from TSC). I've decided to get some ducks this year as well. I'm getting Saxony's and Cayugas. Waiting on those eggs to hatch out. I can't wait!
