Putting out my feelers for coturnix/A&M Quail eggs

[Fireclaw]

...even though I think they're the same thing? A&M just have more colors? and I like colors. Idk I used to have Button quail as a kid xD.

But yeah. I'm looking for some eggs, because I got it in my head that I wanted some quail and since I can never find any locally, I thought, "why not buy an incubator and hatch some eggs?"

I'm perfectly willing to pay for shipping as well.

I'm not sure *when* I'm looking for eggs, or if anyone even has any this time of year, so I may wait til spring, like I said, right now I'm just putting my feelers out.

James Marie hatchery is supposed to be the best there is (with all sorts of colors and breeds, and King's Hatchery sells eggs from his line as well). If you go to the James Marie site, do not expect to see much--he has a lot of pictures and no information. He also seems to have a Facebook page which is better-attended, but as I have no Facebook and hate the ads, I cannot say that with certainly.

James Marie Lets you order a minimum of fifteen, max of 100. Louisiana. Lots of variety.

King's Hatchery Min of 20+ (about twenty-five) max of 330+. Less variety.

I checked them both out. James marie's website confuses me lol.

I can't figure out if I'd *also* have to buy a box to ship the eggs or if they're just something you *can* buy.

Pretty sure that's an 'also' I've never ordered any and don't raise quail. I just did a lot of research last year because I'm still thinking about getting some.

Pretty sure the box is included in the shipping price not seperate.

You can get free boxes at the PO, that is what i used to ship them.
