Size, Quality & Value

What you feed is what you get. Here's why our full-grown coturnix is the better meat-to-dollar deal for raptors and reptiles.

A full-grown coturnix runs 7 to 9 ounces on average — a single, complete, whole-prey meal with the bone, organ, and muscle balance your animals actually need. No assembly required.

Why a single coturnix is a more complete meal than a handful of rodents or a processed pellet.

Consistent weight, consistent size — every bird. That's what 30 years of doing one thing well looks like.

The Value

More bird, better quality, less money.

The Comparison

Built to compete

We raise our coturnix to a finished weight of 7–9 oz on average on a custom-formulated grain ration — built for steady weight gain, dense muscle, and a complete whole-prey nutrient profile. Compared to commodity feeders sold at half the weight on a generic ration, the size, consistency, and meat-to-dollar math comes out ahead every time. You pay the same handling, shipping, and overhead either way — the question is how much edible bird actually arrives at your door.

How We Raise

Naturally raised

No HormonesWhole-Prey DietUS Raised

Our coturnix live on a natural grain-based diet from hatch to harvest. No growth hormones. Minimal handling stress. That translates directly into the quality you can see — clean feathering, straight legs, proper beaks, and the consistent weight your raptor or reptile depends on.

In Closing

The bottom line

A feeder animal is only as valuable as the nutrition it delivers and the consistency you can count on. Our coturnix hits both marks — naturally raised, whole-prey complete, and priced so you keep feeding the best without second-guessing the budget.
