Quail breeds?

[silkielover5]

Thinking about getting some quail. I don't care about egg production mostly just for looks. I have 4ft by 2.5 ft insulated pens out in my chicken shed with heat lamps and dimmer switches so I can control the temps. Was thinking about I think they are called Tennessee reds? Or buttons? And how many could i have in the pens?

California quail are nice looking. Coturnix quail are pretty plain but can be found in a farely wide range of colors. If you need a place to get them you can try B and D farms as they sell small quantities of adults. I hope this helps!

Check out this link. If I was getting quail for their "looks", it would either be the Gamble or Scaled quail. They both "look cool".

My personal favorite is the Snowflake Bobwhite quail but since I get the credit for finding them, i'm probably playing favorites with my pic. LOL.. You can read their story our inquire about getting eggs on our web site. www.gunrunnergundogs.com
