Well, I guess I should introduce myself.
My name is Karin Vail and I am 40 years old. I live in Skagit County, WA. I raise Mini Lop rabbits for show and have raised rabbits for 16 years. My website is www.vailslops.com - I am going to raise Coturnix quail (if I can get the hatching right!) for meat and eggs. I also have a trio of Welsummer chickens for eggs. I plan to add Turkeys this spring - have lots of fencing to do soon :) I have the materials, just need to get hubby and sons to help.
I am married for 18 years to my best friend, Brian, and we have a 17 yr old son (senior in HS) and a 15 yr old son (freshman in HS). My hubby and sons are into snow sports (snowmobiling, snowboarding, and hubby has a snowcat) Hubby's website is www.snowtoaster.com.
I have a home-based ''business''. I do custom embroidery and custom sewing. Some of my items are on ebay at www.stores.ebay.com/karinvail - I do have some quail and pheasant embroidery designs that I might be able to put some items in my store for people's hatcheries, etc. :)

s016 Karin! My main breeders are XLD1 Coturnix, followed by Bobwhites, Ringneck Pheasant and coming soon, "Black" Pheasants. Glad to see you here. Ghost.

black pheasants????? always something new and interesting I've not heard of! I think if I had help building pens, I'd raise some quail too - we have 1 1/2 acres we can fence in if I had two teen helpers - but you know how teens can be!

Another Karen here from Washington State. Puyallup in Pierce County. Raising Marans chickens and Mottled Cochin Bantams. 2 incubators going full time. Now that I have my quail racks for the auto-turner, going to try my hand at quail.
