Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 LOL, you can get some from us in a couple of months.. after I've hatched my chicken eggs I will put some quail in.. Seriously, I got them from Marple, Stockport. Let me know if you want me to pm you the phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 ermm.. stupid me, I forgot to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 erm.......... Are they tiny and fluffy?, well feathered?, laying? - you'll need to know their approximate age to know what to feed them really..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 oh, no, were not that daft. They're already laying.. but not sure how many months they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 No, I didn't think you were daft - as they're laying then they will be fine with any Layers pellets. We use Smallholder or Allen and Page Organic as the pellets are small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 When you get sorted, try to get hold of Garvo quailmixture. My quail love it and eat it by the shed load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
