Hi
I had planned to leave this announcement until Sept. 9th, but after talking to my partner, he said it was ok to announce it now. I have been talking with Robby Richard, of James Marie Farms, ( http://www.jamesmariefarms.com/index.html) in Church Point, Louisiana, USA for over a year and a half to set up an exchange of hatching eggs. Our major requirement was that it had to be 100% legal with all the proper paperwork on both sides completed. We both felt this was the only way to go so we could then advertise without having to worry about any legal problem.
About 5 years ago, I started selling Coturnix eggs on the internet. From the beginning, after I posted pictures of my Silver Coturnixes online, I began receiving requests from the US for eggs from my Silvers and their different variations. There are NONE in the US. Anyone who has the Silver gene in Canada has my line as I have kept it going for 28 years. I always had to refuse the US requests because of the legal requirements. Robby was the first one to approach me who was willing to go through with the legal requirements. He really wanted to bring the Silver gene to the US, while I really wanted to bring the true Jumbos to Canada. I am very happy to announce it is taking place right now! He received his first shipment of 72 eggs containing the Silver gene today and I mailed out his second order of 72 eggs today. I will be sending out two more orders of 72 eggs each to him before September 15th.
On Sept. 8th, he will be mailing the first 200 eggs (100 true Texas A & M, and 100 Jumbo Pharaohs) to me. They are some of the largest Jumbos available in the whole US. He has had birds reach over a pound (over 460 grams). There are no birds in Canada to the best of my knowledge which can do that. I have already arranged to borrow another incubator from a friend to put half the eggs in to guard against losing them all to an incubator accident. A second order of 200 eggs will be sent to me two weeks after that. It will contain 50 eggs of his white breasted pharaohs, (called Churchhills, after the community he lives in) a new variety he developed, and another colour plus more jumbos. With luck, I should have the first US jumbos hatched by the end of September with my first Jumbo eggs available for sale by the third week of November.
I will continue to sell the eggs from the many colours of Coturnixes (10 colours) I now raise. They will be available in either a 36 or 72 egg size order, same as now. The foams I currently use will only hold 72 eggs. The cost of 36 eggs plus shipping foam and box will be $20 and 72 eggs plus shipping foam and box will be $40. All shipping to be paid by the buyer.
Due to the larger size of the jumbo eggs, I will be using a new foam with only 52 egg holes. That is the only size the Jumbos will be available in. All orders will have 25 Texas A & M eggs, and 25 of the Jumbo Pharoahs (normal colour). With any luck hatching, I hope to have some available by late November. The 50 eggs will be $50 plus $10 for the shipping foam and box which equals $60. Shipping will be paid by the buyer. As soon as I see how my hatch goes, I will know when I will have eggs for sale. The jumbos will only be available by pre-booking, maximum order 100 eggs, 15% deposit required. I will sell no 2nd orders to anyone until the first pre-booked orders are filled. I want to get the eggs into the hands of as many breeders as possible. They are true meat Coturnixes. If you would like to be added to a list for the Jumbos, please email ( perryaschofield@gmail.com )me your name and phone numbers. I will email or phone you back as soon as I have Jumbo eggs available that you can pre-book.
My other colour Coturnix eggs will continue being available for shipping starting again on September 18th. No pre-booking or deposit is required for them.
