s144 Iam looking for someone that can take quail weekly trying to start a quail farm but need a good buyer to buy the birds off of me. I will raise any kind of quail that is needed

where are you located i"m in ky s016

I could use 300-500 4 week old Bobwhites.
You didn't list your location, or fill out your profile, so I assume you ship them. It was 9F here this morning, you surely put enough heat packs in each box, so you don't have to replace too many that arrive as chicksicles. Do you ship via UPS, DHL, or USPS? Or do you deliver?
I doubt there will be a lot of people who will want birds each week. Having birds maturing at different times might be nice, but I would need something like 20 separate pens for the growing birds, even if all birds sold each week. If I had 50 or 100 leftovers each week, I'd need extra pens for each group of those. That could also cause a cleanliness/biohazard nightmare. As well as more work per hundred birds than I want.

Have you researched what you need to ship bird to the US?? I know to bring them up here you need a health certificate and its not really worth all the effort unless they are really needed.

dodgeboy,
Enlighten us good people from the United States of America. What are the custom(s) requirement from both sides of the fence? Are you going to be a bird broker and take care of all paperwork that is going to be needed on the Federal Level? Are you also going to take care of all the required documention on the state(s) level as well?
Who will be paying for the quarantine period if needed?
What is the price break down on the birds in US Dollars per 5000, 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000? Will this price include all costs related to the shipment/customs?

Have you looked into selling them to a packer in Ontario? I know here in BC I have one that is wanting my grow pheasants and chukars for them.

If you are in GTA or close try Chinatown.
Now about cross border shipping, you may want to slow down and rethink it. There are too many regulations/paperwork/inspections for it to prove viable. that's why some of Canadas largest breeders can't/won't ship to the U.S.
Whatever you decide good luck and don't get too discouraged.

I cant seem to find a packer in ontario. I would ship them anywhere if i could find a packer

I will look through my paperwork, I've been researching it for a while and their are a few in Ontario. I'll give you a email when I find it.

I'm in Southern Missouri, I'm afraid shipping would drive prices too high, even if the birds were free.
