Welcome to Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm of Maine
I’m really glad you’re here. I’ve been raising Coturnix quail for over a decade, and honestly, they still surprise me sometimes. They’re easy little birds to fall for, and they make it possible to raise your own food without needing a ton of space or turning your whole yard into a full-on barnyard.
Whether you’re just getting started or you’re already knee-deep in feed scoops and feathers, you’ll find straightforward, real-world advice here. Everything I share comes from hands-on experience: what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what I wish I knew sooner.
Every bird here is raised with care, and this farm means a lot to me. If you’ve been thinking about raising quail, you’re in the right place.
Learn How to Raise Coturnix Quail
Quail are pretty simple once you get the hang of it, but getting there can feel like a lot in the beginning. That’s where I come in. I’ve made just about every mistake you can make, and I share what works so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way.
Breeding for Health, Size & Strong Color Lines
Breeding Coturnix quail is a mix of science, patience, and real-world experience, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of raising them.
My color lines are fun to look at, but they’re not just for looks. I focus on temperament, size, productivity, and strong birds that can do well in real homestead setups. Whether you’re hatching for fun, adding variety to your covey, or working toward something more self-sustaining, I want you to start with birds you can feel good about.
