Here are some of the most frequent questions we receive.
No, we do not ship. All orders are available for local pickup by appointment only at our farm. Once your order is ready, we will reach out to coordinate a convenient pickup time.
Due to the many variables involved in incubation and transport, we cannot guarantee a specific hatch rate. However, our breeding flock is carefully managed for high fertility, and most of our customers report hatch rates of over 90%.
Feather-sexable varieties (like Jumbo Brown/Pharaoh) can be sexed by chest plumage as early as 3–4 weeks of age. Other colorations require vent sexing, which becomes accurate around 6–8 weeks.
Young chicks require a high-protein gamebird starter feed (28–30%) and a secure, draft-free brooder with heat. Older juveniles and adults do well on an 18–20% gamebird ration in well-ventilated cages or aviaries.
Coturnix quail grow very quickly and typically begin laying eggs between 6 and 8 weeks of age when given proper diet and 14–16 hours of light daily.
