We keep a selection of Quail including standard or laying Coturnix, Fawn, Italian, and Brown Range Quail. Our daughter also has a flock of around 15 Chinese painted Quail that are purely ornamental. Here are a few of our birds.
Our birds are kept in excellent conditions and are only fed the best fully balanced, GM free feed, all of the ingredients are fully traceable and comply with UFAS compound feeds cert No. 111. They are given as much freedom as possible and have access to sheltered, out door pens all year round, they are only normally confined for selective breeding. We hatch out several broods each year to replace stock and to introduce new lines and achieve excellent hatch rates from our own eggs, this winter saw an average of 91%, Spring & Summer should be even better.
These birds give not only a good egg return but also a respectable table weight. we are achieving an average of :- Live weight = 230 grms egg weight = 13 grms Laying = 327 pa Mixed hatching eggs are normally available at any time of the year.
Hopefully we will be adding more to this site shortly |
