Welcome to Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm of Maine
I’m so glad you found your way here. I’ve been raising Coturnix quail for more than a decade now, and honestly, they still find ways to surprise me. They’re easy to love and hard not to get attached to, and they’re perfect if you want to raise your own food without turning your whole yard into a barnyard.
Whether you’re brand new or already knee-deep in feed and feathers, you’ll find down-to-earth advice here to help you raise a healthy, happy covey without feeling lost in the process. Every bird here is raised with care, and everything I share comes from experience, not theory. Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm isn’t just a business to me. It’s my heart, my passion, and my way of helping more people see that small-scale, sustainable homesteading is absolutely possible.

Learn How to Raise Coturnix Quail
Quail are simple once you find your rhythm, but getting that rhythm right early on makes all the difference. That’s where I come in. I’ve made just about every mistake there is, and I use this space to share what actually works. From setting up brooders to sorting out low hatch rates and figuring out what to feed growing chicks, you’ll find straightforward advice that helps you feel confident, not confused.
Breeding for Health, Size & Strong Color Lines
Breeding Coturnix quail is part science, part art, and all joy. My color lines aren’t just for show (though I love how they brighten up the covey). I choose each line for temperament, size, and productivity, whether you’re hatching for fun or working toward a self-sustaining setup of your own.
If you’re a breeder or thinking about becoming one, you’re welcome to take a look at how I run things around here. I’m not here to gatekeep. I want you to raise beautiful, thriving birds too.
