Weel, Dibs, have not been known to take easy way..and eggs will be cheaper, and they will hopefully imprint on me or me on them  ??? one or the other anyway!! And think the kids would love to see them hatching. If you do get some, would we be quail fanciers??  ;D ;)

Hi
Dont forget if you intend to sell the eggs you do not want any male quail with the egg layers !
