Coturnix
Coturnix
We have several colours of jumbo coturnix. We have bred our own large and very productive strain of these birds and currently rear several thousand each year. It is staggering how quickly these birds grow, with incubation only 17 days, there's no other bird that can go from an egg, to laying an egg in 60 days. They lay almost every day and will lay right through the winter if encouraged with a little light. As they are so productive, it takes a strain on their lifespan which is short, expected between 1 and 2 years. They are naturally docile birds and make good pets. Very easy to care for and due to there small size don't require as much space as other birds.

Californian
Californian
Californian quail are a pretty, round shaped bird originally from America. They are very active and although they settle, we find they are difficult to tame. Both male and female's have a plume of feathers on their head. The males plume is black and the females plume is brown, they both have a scaled belly which distinguishes them from there close relatives (Gambel's) They lay a speckled egg during the summer months and are relatively easy to hatch. Due to there nervous nature, they literally hatch running which means they are a little trickier to rear, so not generally recommended for beginners.

Bobwhite
Bobwhite
Bobwhite are also originally from America and are a popular hunting/training bird out there, as they will recall back to the pens after they have been flushed. They lay a pure white teardrop shaped egg and are easy to hatch. They are difficult to rear as they act very like gamebirds and can be very vicious from day one. They require a high protein starter until at least 8 weeks. They get there name from their call, 'Bob-white'. They come in various colours, we currently have them in northern, white, mexician, red tennessee and snowflake.

Chinese Painted
Chinese Painted
The smallest of the quails, the 'Chinese painted' or sometimes called 'button' quail. These quail are most suited for the bottom of aviaries to clean up spilled seed. Although they are considered more ornamental than a laying breed, they do lay a surprising number of eggs. They come in many different colours and most can be sexed from those, hens will also be larger and a slightly duller colour overall.
