Dear valued customers and friends of Purely Poultry, It is with a heavy heart that we must temporarily close our doors until further notice. We have recently experienced a difficult time with our owner, who was involved in a serious car accident earlier this month. Unfortunately, Shannon has suffered a brain injury and we are currently unsure of the extent of the damage. Shannon is the heart and soul of our family-owned and operated business, and every member of our team is part of the family. We appreciate all of the prayers, well wishes, and patronage that we have received from our loyal customers during this trying time. Your support means the world to us and we are grateful for your kindness. We hope to reopen Purely Poultry in the future, with Shannon back at the helm. Until then, we wish you all the best with your flocks and hope that you continue to find success in your endeavors. Thank you for your understanding and support during this challenging time. Sincerely, The Purely Poultry Team

Quail may be the definitive dual-purpose bird. They lay lots of eggs, are an excellent and delicious source of protein, are quiet, don’t eat too much and are easy to care for, have a sweet sound, and are calm, docile animals.

There are many different varieties of quail, but the Pharaoh Coturnix Quail has been raised as a domestic bird since about the 12th century in Japan. They were kept for their lovely song, and also for meat and eggs. Pharaoh Coturnix Quail were first imported to the United States from Japan in the 1850s. They were raised on farms but also released into the wild. Still today, some people raise them as game birds, for release. Many others have found that it is possible to create a profitable business with small-scale quail farming.

Because Pharaoh Coturnix Quail need little space to thrive, they can be healthily raised in cages in confined areas, such as a garage or shed. Both quail meat and quail eggs, especially pickled quail eggs, are often considered delicacies.

Colors: Males are mottled with dark brown and cinnamon-colored feathers. Females have a similar appearance except they have cream-colored feathers where the males have cinnamon.
