Author Topic: Poor wee quail hen - anyone got any to spare? (Read 1632 times)

My poor wee girl spends a lot of her time just sitting and crying since her mate died - a few weeks ago he flew upwards, bounced off the lightweight netting and banged against the weldmesh run. Died next day.

I think she is depressed and although I hope to get another young male at the Festival I think she really could do with company now, so does anyone have any females for sale in Central Scotland?

I have standard coturnix in Ayrshire but i'm pretty sure i saw a guy on one of the facebook groups selling jumbos in Stirling, i'll pm you his details if i find them.

I don't know much about quail - what;'s the difference between standard and jumbo? I looked on his page - sold his bobwhites - don't know what they are either.

I think the jumbo, as it says, are supposed to be bigger than the standard/coturnix.

A neighbour bought some 'jumbo' but also had some of the normal/coturnix from me. There wasn't much size difference and they lived fine together. She ordered the 'jumbo' as hatching eggs off the net.
