Welcome to FableNest Farms!

This farm began with a simple idea: build something meaningful, enjoyable, and rooted in real life — something that brings people closer to animals, family, food, learning, and the satisfaction of caring for living things.

At FableNest Farms, our main focus is premium Coturnix quail. We raise select lines including Jumbo Coturnix, Celadon, Pansy / Rotkopf, Pearl Fee, and other specialty color projects. We care about healthy birds, strong genetics, good temperament, reliable production, and helping people succeed with their own flocks.

Coturnix quail are remarkable birds. They are quiet, efficient, fast-maturing, and practical for many modern homesteads, backyard farms, and small spaces. Whether someone is starting with a few hatching eggs or building a serious breeding program, I want FableNest Farms to be a place where they feel confident, educated, and supported.

We also raise select Silkie bantams in limited seasonal numbers. Silkies add beauty, personality, and joy to the farm. They are not our largest product line, but they are an important part of the heart of FableNest Farms.

I currently serve on the American Coturnix Quail Association Standard of Perfection Committee and Welcoming Committee. I also serve as the American Silkie Bantam Club District 6 Director, representing Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, and Hawaii. These roles matter to me because I believe poultry breeding should be done with care, education, standards, and respect for the birds and the people who raise them.

FableNest Farms is NPIP certified, and our birds are raised with hands-on care from hatch. We feed 100% organic, non-GMO feed and work hard to provide healthy, well-managed birds and hatching eggs to our customers.

Beyond the birds, we created FableNest apparel for people who love the poultry and birding lifestyle. Quail people, chicken people, bird watchers, homesteaders, breeders, and backyard flock owners deserve fun, original shirts and gear that reflect who they are.

My goal is for FableNest Farms to be more than a place to buy birds or eggs. I want it to become a trusted resource, a learning center, and a community for people who are excited about quail, Silkies, poultry breeding, birding, and the farm life.

Thank you for being here. Whether you are buying your first hatching eggs, adding rare genetics to your flock, wearing one of our T-shirts, or simply learning about Coturnix quail, I’m grateful you found us.

Welcome to the flock.
