this rave is for Zee's benefit Last saturday i went to a poultry and machinery sale and happened upon a pen of 6 tibetan variety coturnix quail which i managed to get at £20, 2 girls got lucky with one of the boys so i know there's hens in there ^-^... there were 6 Pharoah too but they were ALL male and made £30!!!! o.O shock** Quailies!
They have a new sand bath and hide now... just need to work on a new run adaptation or move them to one of my double tiered hutches but i want them in for the winter so i need to have a good ponder. Also i'm taking some of my poultry to another sale this saturday... and in the catalogue is listed this - .1 pair of italian quail .4 japanese quail hens .4 japanese quail hens .4 japanese quail hens big bonus is this is the sale that the quail buyers rarely go to and we've picked them up for a cheap as 50p a bird before now... i'm making sure i have some hutches ready just incase ^-^

ADORABABIES. I just looooove quails. I'm a poultry fan and though I love my chickys, I've been wanting some quail for the last two or three years. I see some for sale once a year and I'm always like 'Myyyy preciousssess...'

I bred quail for a few years before giving up as i was rescueing too many ferrets at the time... challenging little tykes as they're tiny little millet fuelled pop rockets that love to cause mischief, especially the chinese painted... i even had 2 living free range in my house for a few days as they escaped their brooder. Trying to catch something smaller then a mouse is not easy lol -.-

EEE! Quail! Unfortunately the link to the photobucket doesnt work so I cant view them. :/
But I'm sure they're REALLY cute! I need to start working on the hutch I have planned for my quail.
