I agree. I really would take the flasks and a DVD but I only have one swap and there are still 3 days left this week

So I am holdin out. I also think it has to do with the swap pages, some people just dont want to make the extra click to look at another page....

Here are some cuteness pics I took this morning to make everyone feel happy

these are all swap babies from the nifty approved egg train

It comes down to do you want cheap or want good? most michaels carry a cheapish $10/2lb brick, but it's quality is lacking. I make mine in house, but if you're notcoftable working with lye, then adding boiling alchol to the mix really ratchets up the danger.

There's a $30 mini order, but between soap base, color and scent that's not hard, and shipping's included. I use thier proclear from time to time, as it had a smoother glass finish than the recipie I make in house.

so to all you quail people.... how much do you sell your quail eggs for eating locally and how much do you sell you quail chicks for that you hatched out?

trying to decide what to do with my quail i hatched out... keep them for eggs or sell the chicks now to someone that wants them?

or sell a few and keep a few.... how are quail in the winter do they need heat?

I haven't found anyone that want to buy my Quail eggs. At the swaps & auctions here, can buy or sell Quail eggs for $1-2 a dozen and the Quail for $1-2 per bird.

I just boil them up snd my kids eat them like candy

I don't have quail, but people around here that do, take them into town and sell to the Asian markets. I think they sell in the stores for $6-8 a dozen, so I would think you'd sell to the market for 1/2 that?

Also, there were some really good pickled egg recipes. Around here, we use quail eggs for that. You might have better luck making up some pint jars of those and selling them. I think they go for between $8-10 a pint. You can do a search on here for recipes.

Good luck!
