Title: quail hens- help please!
Post by: [email protected] on May 07, 2012, 08:10:37 pm

I have recently got some quails and was mislead into believing that I have 3 hens and 2 cocks, however I believe there are 3 cocks and 2 hens! I am desperate to redress the balance and therefore need some extra hens ASAP!! Please help me sort my little family so these lovely little creatures are all happy!! Thank you - Lin . P.S - I live in Potter Heigham on the Norfolk Broads

where are you?
how many do you have room for?

Are you certain of the sexing of them?

Oh, and welcome to TAS :wave:

I have room for a further 4-6 hens. I'm not 100% sure but based on research and observation I believe I have only 2 hens. I live on the outskirts of Potter Heigham on the Norfolk Broads. Thanks - Lin
