Japanese Quail flock (plus optional enclosures)
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 1:07 pm
I have loved having Japanese Quail for several years now, but we are about to move cross country and I just can't take these guys with us. $50 takes the entire flock, 18 females and one male, plus you are welcome to take either or both enclosures and the remainder of their food. Good little layers, bold, friendly little birds.

The girls are very sociable. Our rooster, Zoidberg, is a coward with humans, but loves his ladies and is quite gentle.

My biggest problem taking pictures, is convincing them not to eat the phone! They are pretty spoiled. In addition to their gamebird chow, they get sprouts, bolted lettuce, and other such goodies and I am happy to share a culture of kefir if you like.

If you'd like it, we built them a large enclosure which is on lawnmower wheels. 4'x8' with a roomy hutch and such. I'm not sure how you would get that home, but if you have a way, it's yours!

We have their brooder in the garage as well. We found that is too small for adults, but perfect for chicks and we raised several batches of birds with it. I also have our homemade incubator too.
