Awesome! I recently had to part with my Coturnix. They are some fine eating. I like grilling them like Dove poppers with bacon and Jalepeno. Need to get me another group started.

I got the next size bigger in case I do chickens someday. When I ordered mine the smaller ones were out of stock. All good units.

Yes EZ and fun to raise, very tasty also. I'll always have them around. From hatched to mature in 8 weeks you can't go wrong. Wife makes a Cajun quail pasta which is WOW if you've ever had it.
