 We restock our breeding birds from imported bloodlines each
year and currently have three strains of Coturnix quail. All have
the same environmental needs and your requirements will determine
which of these you choose.
The first is what we call a Jumbo.
They are aptly names as their weight can reach a hefty 14ozs. They
lay a good sized egg albeit not quite as often as their smaller
cousins. However, for anyone with limited enclosure space, they
are an excellent dual purpose (meat & eggs) bird.
Second is the Italian Laying Quail.
A delightful golden bird about 6ozs in weight at maturity. They
are prolific layers at 6 1/2 weeks old producing a good quality
medium sized egg. A very good bird for commercial use.
The third strain were imported last
year from the Continent. We have called them Spanish to
differentiate between the other two. They are a chunky medium
framed bird available in four colours. They are laying as well as
the Italian, giving a good even sized egg.
Apart from the Coturnix we also
breed Bob Whites in several different colours; Californian,
Gambels and Chinese Painted Quail.
 Fertile Eggs
Fertile Japanese Quail eggs are £2.75 doz.
We average around 80% hatch rate. Next day delivery, UK mainland
only, or collect from the farm. Californian and Bob White fertile
eggs are available in season. Please phone for price and
availability.
