Hello Jim,
  Thank you for your welcome responce & your question, both are appreciated.  The answer to your in-direct question is "To Much"  But this was my initial order of quail eggs & I have had excellent service from the McMurray hatchery over the years reference my poultry needs, so I chose them for start-up supply of quail eggs.  Again Thanks & God bless<><  Calvin

McMurray charges $126.60 for 60 Valley Quail eggs.  They won't let you see the shipping cost, til you spend the time and effort to fill out an order, including your credit card number.  That is more than enough reason for me not to do business with them.  makes me think their a bunch of donkeys a**es.  I know folks who buy a lot of chicks from them, and they get a good price.  They do have birds when others don't, but charge more than most, unless you buy thousands.
