FAQs - Quail
Our available chicks and eggs are always updated on our website. You can find the next available chicks hereor contact us to see what we have to take home today. We often have a few.
Our quail are shipped from our Texas farm and will require shipping. We do not have any quail at our Arizona farm at this time. We have split up our operation so each farm can focus on its strengths in providing for Arizona families.
Live birds are only shipped via USPS Express Priority Mail or Priority mail which is the fastest available shipping option from USPS. Because adult birds can overheat in transit, they are only shipped in the cooler months. We raise birds to 6 weeks old to have adequate fat reserves for traveling. We also evaluate each bird individually for physical issues and overall vitality to make sure they are good candidates for the shipping process and likely to thrive in their new homes. We cannot include food or water in the shipping box, so the birds are allowed free access to food and water until the day they are shipped. We never package birds ahead of their ship date. Shipping is stressful for the birds and it is normal to have to provide special care within the first 72 hours to help the birds recover from the shipping process. We want your birds to have the best start possible in their new homes. Because nearly every bird survives the journey, we proudly offer a 72 hour live guarantee for all shipped quail.
Shipped live quail usually arrive happy and healthy, although they will be very thirsty and hungry! Although we do everything we can to help them make the journey, the shipping process can be stressful for the birds and there are many variables out of our control that can affect the shipping process. We recommend that you follow our detailed instructions carefully, and contact us if you have additional questions. We offer a live bird arrival guarantee. Any birds that do not survive upon delivery will be refunded, provided store credit (MORE than what you paid*) or reshipped depending on availability. Your business is important to us, and we want you to purchase our quail with confidence that you will get what you pay for.
It depends on your state and the type of bird. Most states do not require a permit for any domesticated bird, but some states require a propagation permit to raise quail. We recommend that you check your local laws before purchasing any type of livestock or poultry.
Quail need a high-protein game bird feed. Quail should be fed a game bird/turkey starter feed with 30% protein and no more than 1.5% calcium until they are 7-8 weeks old. At 7-8 weeks, the quail should be transitioned to a game bird or turkey layer/breeder/all-purpose feed with 20-22% protein and 2-3 % calcium. Your birds will be ~6 weeks old for Adults and ~3 weeks old for Juveniles and can be fed starter feed for up to two weeks after shipment to help them recover from stress due to transit and relocation.
Domestic quail are not great flyers, but they are very good at what we call “assisted jumping”. Coturnix can jump and fly a few yards, and a small percentage can maintain flight for short bursts. Most, however, prefer to stay on the ground.

Happy and Healthy White Leghorn Chicks!
Thank you for the wonderful service. Our white leghorn chicks were received happy and healthy and active. They arrived in CA one day after shipment and were safely packaged. We gave food, water, and heat immediately and 1.5 weeks later, they are super active, always hungry, and trying out their sprouting wing feathers. They're also doing great with our other chick breeds of similar ages. Thank you!!! Your service when I made an initial order error was much appreciated.

Hemp bedding vs straw: hemp wins
Between straw or hemp bedding, we find hemp to be the best. First of all, it’s tidier than straw. Since we have a small area for our coop, that is a nice thing. For the chickens it’s a nice thing, I’d imagine, as the claims that hemp helps controls odor must be true, as there just isn’t any to speak of! The 33lb bale of hemp bedding is conveniently delivered to our door.

I always have good experiences with Az Chickens. We buy Bresse chickens and quail chicks. We have averaged only one death per shipment, otherwise
they arrive healthy. We will continue to use Az Chickens to resupply our flock.
