My 13 year old had no problem with it....cant be bad...

Ah new subject to add into this topic (can I hijack my own post?)

What quail do you like the best??? I have been reading about A & M, Jumbo's Tuxedo's ect... which ones grow quickest, best feed conversion, quickest to lay.
Gee, they sound like instant gratification! I love to hatch.

A bundle of us here are after giant quail...up to a pound in weight! I have a batch of Jumbo Coturnix incubating now...we'll see how big they grow to be!

Thank you I have read about them also. I also read that there are some unreputable sellers on ebay. How do we know who to stay away from?

Word of mouth mostly. I try to stay away from e-bay anyway...I found a local hobby breeder who seems to really love the breed and genetics of it all.

Thanks!

My first birds came off of ebay, but I made sure I could pick them up.
Others have come from breeders on here...

I think i would mostly deal with people on BYC

My thoughts too.
