We like them
They’re cute and it’s fun seeing them engage in their natural behaviors. We ordered six and got four. They haven’t laid yet, probably just need a little more time to settle.

Thank you! ☺️
My first silkie in my flock of 10. I named her lemon and she is so sweet and adorable. Whenever I pick her up, she just snuggles up. I am very happy with all the chicks that I’ve gotten so far.

Healthy juvenile Celadon quail
All of the quail arrived healthy. Some were missing some back feathers when they arrived. I suppose they got bored on their journey.
They are still doing well 1.5 weeks later.
The only thing I didn’t like was that they shipped 1 week before the shipping date I selected. Also, it would be nice to know the hatch date.
