Chinese Painted Quail Pairs.
These delightful little birds are some of our favorites, about the size of a sparrow and full of character. Their eggs are teeny tiny about the size of a small thumbnail. These birds will live very happily in pairs often brooding and hatching their eggs, they are also suited to small colonies, where there are multiple males we suggest 2-3 hens per boy. These come in loads and we mean LOADS of colours.
ABOUT US
Im sure you've read about us and this already but here it is again.
Here’s our background story! You know how it goes, you buy some eggs to hatch to show the children, and they get bored after a while… well that’s what I thought would happen!! Turns out it’s quite the opposite. THEY LOVE THEM!
So we hatch a few more and a few more and now we have loads of eggs. And all although we pickle some and give some to the neighbors it’s more than we can eat (and hatch) the children are just old enough to learn and have an interest in money and pocket money and we thought what better way to teach them about it and give them a bit more responsibility than to let them sell some eggs properly. We really enjoy having the quail and it gets the kids outside doing things whatever the weather.
The quail themselves are a beautiful mix of colors and are ultra-friendly, they are kept very clean, and they get a diet of mixed seeds, chick crumb, layers mash, fresh homegrown salad, and kale every day 🥒🥬.
