McMurray Hatchery Gambel Quail

These beautiful little (10”) birds are found in the desert valleys of our Southwest. Each bird has a teardrop crest with the hen’s being shorter. Both sexes are brownish in color and the males are distinguished by black abdominal marking and black necks. Good layers of up to 2 dozen eggs and good parents. Can be put with other quail after arrival. Limited Supply. Shipped in June only and sold in lots of 100.

 

For safe delivery, your order must total 100 or more birds.  We can't mix the different breeds of quail to make 100. Before buying, please check with the Regulatory Agency in your state that controls wildlife management. You may need a permit.

The state of Wyoming requires a vet check on quail orders entering the state.  That is an additional $50. per quail order.

IMPORTANT!    PLEASE READ!

Do not give quail city water, as it contains too much chlorine and flouride.

It is also recommended that the temperature at floor level be 95-97 degrees the first week, reducing it by about 5 degrees per week thereafter.

**IMPORTANT** Baby quail need finely ground feed. If your starter feed is too coarse, it will need to be ground a second time before it is fed to baby quail.  This will make it more palatable to the chicks.
