Quails in Scotland?
« on: February 18, 2015, 04:06:50 pm »
Just wondering if anyone knows of a quail breeder in scotland who i could speak to for advice and possibly buy some from? I am in Dundee, so preferably local but travelling is not an issue.

Japanese quail?

If so, I breed them, I'm not a commercial operation but I usually have a couple of hundred on the go.

I'm in Ayrshire.

If your on face book there is a guy on chickens in Aberdeenshire called Euan Davidson, he has a phenomenal amount of quails all different types.
pygmy goats, gsd, border collie, scots dumpys, cochins, araucanas, shetland ducks and geese,  marrans, and pea fowl in a pear tree.

If you do get some make sure they are TOTALLY protected from rats etc - I lost all of mine a couple of weeks ago except the oldest - and largest female.  She was crying she was so lost and lonely without her family so I gave her to a friend.  I loved having them and loved the eggs so I'm very sad.  :'( :'( :'(

Forfar Mart has a Poultry sale on the 2nd April.
You might get Quail there.
