Bear Bayou Quail Farm
Thanks for your interest in our birds.
Here is some updated information about what I raise. We have the large giant Cunningham Bobwhites weighing up to 16oz. I Also have the Barrett, a larger flight Bobwhite bird that gets up to 10oz.
I have the giant meat type Coturnix (Brown color) that weigh up to 16+oz. You may have seen the write up in the "Wildlife Harvest" about one of my hens that weighed 24oz.
Something new! Now available, a recently developed white feathered, white meat type Coturnix quail. They were genetically selected for fast growth, wide breast and light meat. These quail weigh 10oz. in 6 weeks and dress out 73%. When cooked the taste is compared to bobwhite meat. It has a more juicy and flavorful texture. Dr. Fred Thornberry of the poultry science dept. at Texas A&M university developed this new bird. He says this is the meat bird of the future.
All our eggs are clean and no culls. I pack in foam rubber cut outs. We ship U.S. priority mail(1 to 3 days). I take my orders to the airport on Sundays and Tuesdays so they get to you before the weekend. We do not ship live birds but sell them here locally. If you want to order eggs send me a check or money order, a note about what you want and where to ship them. I will call you when I ship if I have your phone number.
