😢 It is with deep regret that we have decided to cut back on our quail. The main reason we got into quail was for the super yummy eggs, and then the meat when we started breeding them. We have decided to cease our business mainly because I have built up an intolerance to the high vitamin B’s in their eggs and can no longer eat them. This does not fit with our self sufficient goals, and they are no longer paying for themselves. We will continue to keep about 3 breeding sets, and I’ll probably continue to do the online shows, however the others will be sold off, and those that aren’t sold will not go to waste, they will go towards feeding our family.

On a happier note, I can still eat chicken eggs (yay!) and have just picked up 2 bantam girls today. 🥰

Keep your eye out for our sale posts coming as soon as I decide who stays and who goes. I do have some chicks I will continue to raise until they are able to be sold as well.

Update on White Wings. Well, going by size, I’d say this 2.5 week old is a hen. She’s huge and beautiful. Lots of unbroken bling. This would be my ideal colouring for a Tuxedo. And she’s also a gorgeous chocolate Tibetan too. White Wings is definitely ear marked as a potential Breeder, and i can’t wait to show her in the Spring show.

Autumn Show - Australian Online Quail Exhibition
Congrats to everyone who entered and a big thank you to the show organisers and judges.

Not a bad result for moulting birds. Stoked to finally have a Splash now, but where did it come from 🤷‍♀️. Hopefully I’ll get some more Splash pop up in coming batches.

Fertile eggs are available. PM me for more information.

Oh my 💗, look at those white wings! This chick is possibly my new all time favourite. It will be fun watching this one grow out. Fingers crossed for a Hen 🤞

UPDATE: of the 210 eggs that went in to the incubator 14 days ago.

165 have made it to Lockdown! That’s a 78% fertility rate across the board. Considering 2 Roos were bullied and out with injuries at the time, I’m pretty stoked with the results. The poor hatcher is fully loaded, with a tray incubator now being used to help hatch 🤣

Next update in 2-4 days when they are hatching.

“Let’s load it up” he says. Hope I’m ready for this. Our biggest hatch yet - 210 eggs gone in tonight. I’m sure we could get more in there if we double up more trays, but don’t know if the Hatcher will cope in 2 weeks time. Hoping to get minimum 120 chicks to hatch.

18/01/2023

First hatch for 2023, fresh out of the brooder. And this is real time, they’re just that fast. 🥰🥰🥰

14/01/2023

Miss 15 made us some Korean Gochujang Pasta, so I fried up some quail bits with garlic, salt & pepper.

01/01/2023

Chilling with Whitney. She's such a cuddly girl. Happily chirping away. ❤️

From the MLS family to all of you. Thank you for making our first full year of quail breeding a successful one. Mick, myself and the girls wish you all a happy and safe Christmas. 🎄

PART TWO

And this is the “Green” House which has our Tibetans, Blues, and Tuxedos. The Dotted Whites still need to be sorted, and will be kept in a separate pen. These are my absolute favourite colours atm, and I look forward to hatching from them soon. ❤️

PART ONE

Due to Qld heat being a constant battle to keep the barn cool, and hubby needing a break from the constant tray cleaning, we decided to build a 2nd shade house and put majority of the quail outside for a while. This is out new “White” house, complete with Mr President who has taken a liking to be the King of Castle 🤣. (Please not the water is cleaned daily, but they keep flicking the mulch into it). This house contains our Pharoahs, Italians, Oz Snowys and Blue Sparkly Fawns.

18/12/2022

Curious to know what people prefer between The whites with the blotches of colour, or the all whites? Need to make a decision which way to go with them, and I can’t make up my mind.

Chick update: the chicks are now a week old. Their first night got a bit rough as the hens next door dug under the fence and I found 3 chicks had been pulled through the fence, 2 were scalped and are doing great, however the 3rd one was got on the back of neck, and after 3 or 4 days it had passed away 😢. So Mumzilla is down to 7 chicks and they are all healthy and starting to get their wing feathers. I actually think they are slightly more advanced than the chicks that hatched in the incubator same day. However they aren’t as friendly, and run away from my hands.
