Hi, have you still got any quail still available, and do you travel to Ayrshire at all, we are in South Ayrshire but can travel a reasonable distance? Would take as many as you are wanting to rehome, have a farm with purpose built aviaries etc.
-
Hi,
I'm a smallholder in North Ayrshire. I currently have 25 japanese quail and would be more than happy to rehome some of your stock. Can you let me know if you have any left, and where you are based please.
