In addition, for an additional small investment, Bobwhite Quail can be recalled to a "Johnny house" after release for future training use. Bobwhite Quail are an equally good choice for started or mature dogs to further training on steadiness or flushing. Steadfast Farms Bobwhite Quail tend to flush with very little pressure, and you can be sure they will fly far, preventing your dog from chasing, or giving you time to correct your dog before she or he has the opportunity to grab the bird. They are perfect for all dogs ages and breeds regardless if you work pointers or flushers. Bobwhite quail raised at our game bird farm are strong and explosive flying birds. Northern Bobwhite quail are widely used in the Upland community. Will order again in the future and spread the word. I wish you sold coturnix hatching eggs as well which i think would help with survival rate from shipping but our experience was not bad at all. thank you Murray McMurray for the wonderful birds and experience receiving and raising these quail. One of the females so far is laying a solid blue egg which shows the variety of genes used in their flock. We just switched them to layer gamebird feed the week before which helps. A few of the girsl have started laying eggs this week right at the 6 week mark and laying perfect quality eggs. The ratio of females to males is also quite high which I think was pure luck on our part. Now that they are fully feathered, and after researching the known feather colors, we have around 18 different colors out of 22 birds. The variety of colors is beyond what i expected since other assorted orders of chickens or ducks can give you very few. We quickly called the customer service line and they were VERY helpful. Lost 5 more within the first 24-48 hours due to likely not being strong enough or got a chill during shipment. The rest were VERY lively and healthy looking upon arrival. When they first arrived, 3 got underneath the nesting material and unfortunately got too much of chill to survive and did not make it. We ordered the minimum 30 chicks and 22 have survived so far now at the 6 week mark and laying eggs. We have never raised quail before but have alot of experience with other gamebirds and poultry and wanted to give them a shot so decided to order from murray mcmurray over other hatcheries because of their reputation.
