Where should order Coturnix quail? (North FL)

[Thespeckledchick]

I am already the proud owner of 8 hens, (and looking to add more), but my grandfather used to raise quail, and they have always interested me. I was wondering where I could order jumbo coturnix for meat and eggs. (I live in north FL)

Not sure how far west you live. I live near the Alabama/Florida state line and have 5 week old Jumbo pharaohs for sale.... check Craigslist around your area and see who's selling them.

I don't have any chick's but I have a bunch of 5 week old hens from the James Marie Farm bloodline that are almost at laying age. You can see what I got in my Craigslist ad. Let me know if you're interested....

shipping live birds can become expensive real fast. and hard to be sure they will live. I know for a fact a lot of animals end up dead through shipping on planes. Gets REAL hot down in cargo. That being said im a james marie fan i guess you could say. Craigslist is a good spot to look if ya know what to look for. I would say Mdees88 could be a good source for ya. From what i have seen he knows his stuff. And 4 bucks a bird aint bad in my area i charge 3 dollars for a day old chick lol.
