what to do with extra roos

[wildone]

so I got 7 coturnix quail recently as adorable little babies and now they are almost grown up. well out of that 7, three turned out to be male, and I don't know what to do with them. I would prefer not to cull them, since I raised them from chicks, and I am quite attached to them, but it is still an option. thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I had an unwanted rooster and I put him in my local newspaper for free. There was a local farmer who watches newspaper and Craigslist for free or cheap Birds to add to his flock. It might be an option for you.

Probably not what you wanna hear but i eat them.

What do you want to do with your quail.

Pets, eggs for eating or hatching.

thank you for your quick response! I am thinking that i will try to give them away for free, but if that is not an option (by that i mean there are not that many quail owners where i live) i will invite a friend of mine over and have her help me butcher them, and eat them for dinner! or lunch. or maybe just a snack.

oh and by the way, i use mine mainly for their eggs.

I know people that keep them as pets, and teachers that want them as classroom pets because they are reasonably quiet, easy to care for, and only take up a little space. List them on craigslist in the pet section, or take them to your local feed store and trade for feed.
