I don't know why I didn't see this section before...
Does anyone have a good source for button quail? I would rather get the birds than the eggs.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Source for button quail
You could try a local pet shop.

Re: Source for button quail
kcfd55 If there are any bird marts in your area, those often will have some vendor with button quail. Or if you have a local bird club, that is usually a good source for information on what is available locally.

Apparently not around here. When I ask about them, I get a lot of blank stares and a suggestion that I try a poultry storeFlight Feathers wrote: You could try a local pet shop.

I also may have a source in San Diego (thanks, Iso!), if I can get away to drive down there.
On the positive side of this, if and when I manage to get some quail, I might be able to sell or trade the surplus of quail in the coming years. Button quail are worse than Zebras for reproducing

There are no bird marts or clubs around here. There is a bird mart in Pomona, I think, sometime this Spring.Sally wrote: kcfd55 If there are any bird marts in your area, those often will have some vendor with button quail.
