Day-Old Coturnix Quail Chicks for Sale at Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm

If you’re ready to start your quail journey from day one, these chicks are the real deal—fresh out of the incubator, strong, healthy, and full of potential. I hatch several times a week during the season and offer local pickups by appointment, typically within a day of hatch.

Chicks are sold as straight run (unsexed), and availability is first-come, first-served unless you’ve reserved ahead of time.

Pricing

  • Hatch Day – 5 Days Old: $4 each
  • 6–12 Days Old: $5 each
  • 13–19 Days Old: $6 each

Prices increase based on age. Reserve early for the best price and selection.

Lines Available in 2025

All our birds are chosen for health, temperament, and productivity. Here’s what we’re focusing on this season:

  • Mixed Jumbos
  • Andalusian
  • Pansy Pearl Fee
  • Calico Fee
  • Black
  • Mixed Celadon

From March through June, we generally only offer mixed lots to keep up with high demand and keep things running smoothly during peak season. After June, you’re welcome to request chicks from specific color lines, and I can usually accommodate those requests as availability allows.

Hatch Schedule & Availability

I hatch on a rolling schedule, and chicks are ready for pickup shortly after hatch. Below is the current schedule, listed in order by estimated hatch date. I update this list weekly (usually on Fridays). If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask!
