Live Coturnix Quail for Sale in Maine

If you’re looking to start a covey (or add to one you already have) I raise Coturnix quail here on my Maine homestead. These are birds I’m proud to keep myself and confident sending home with others.

Most of what I offer are day-old chicks, hatched in small batches throughout the season. Occasionally, I may also have a limited number of mature quail available, depending on what I retain for my own breeding programs.

All pickups are by appointment, and I’m happy to help you decide what makes the most sense for your setup and goals.

Day-Old Chicks

Most of my birds are sold as day-old chicks. Chicks are sold straight run (unsexed) and are offered only after hatch is complete and final counts are confirmed. I do not use waitlists or take advance reservations. Once chicks are hatched and assessed, I send out an email with what’s available.

All the details on pricing, deposits, and pickup timing are on the Day-Old Chicks page.

Mature Quail

Occasionally, I end up with a small number of mature quail. These birds are fully feathered, sexed, and ready to lay or breed. Mature quail aren’t something I can promise, since most birds are retained here.

To see what mature quail are available at this time, visit the Mature Quail page.

Our 2026 Lines & Collections

All of my birds come from lines I’ve worked with and trust. Some lines breed true, others are more diverse, but all are selected for health, size, and calm temperament.

  • Andalusian: Silver-gray feathers with about 50% of offspring showing the Andalusian coloring and the rest displaying their base color.
  • Sparkly Pansy Pearl: A mix of fawn, Fee, and sparkly genes creating soft white plumage with striking dark barring. Calm, beautiful, and breed true.
  • Calico Collection: A blend of Calico genetics with warm, mottled coloring and reliable egg production.
  • True Black: Sleek, glossy birds bred for size and temperament. Breed true and work well as a foundation for any covey.
  • Celadon Collection: A mix of colors and patterns, all homozygous for the Celadon gene that produces beautiful pale blue eggs.
  • Splash Collection: A rare Australian gene producing mostly white birds with splashes of color across the back. Each one is unique and generally easygoing.

Hatch Schedule & Availability

I hatch Coturnix quail throughout the season, typically from March through October, with multiple hatches planned ahead of time.

I do not maintain waitlists or promise birds before hatch. This is how I handle availability:

  • A heads-up email when a hatch is approaching and which lines are planned
  • A follow-up email after hatch with confirmed availability and instructions for claiming chicks

For current hatch plans and signup options, visit the Day-Old Chicks page.
