i keep quail in birmingham and know a good breeder within birmingham who sells every sort of poultry very cheap but i know someone who said turkeys, francolin and maybe small breeds of chicken happily live together with quails. nice to find out someone who keeps quail in england like me. what city are you from? i can try and find you a breeder if i can. hope this helps.

Hi, im from Durham. Im keeping away from the chicken quail mix for obvious reasons. Thanks for the info, would be excellent to find a local supply. What variety of quail have you got?

i have JAPANESE coturnix quail. do they go fine with italians? and go on to birdtrader in google first website and select your county and you will find any bird for sale within your county.

Not alot on Birdtrader in my area, no quail. I would like to double my bevy of quail and add another small game bird or increase my bevy to around 50 birds. So ideally i need to aquire or start hatching now.
Do you hatch your eggs zayn?

i have an uncle who breeds tippler pigeons which sit on the ferttile eggs which if hatched are placed into a brooder box
