tinamous

Might be a little to pricey to eat.No male is needed for any hen to lay an egg.He is there just to fertilize them.Check out their eggs on page 1.

I have some friends that have them and I have been looking into care requirements to possibly get some myself. I need an available indoor aviary first. The most important factor I am aware of is good shelter. Tinamou lack a hind toe and cannot perch. They are on the ground full time. They need a covered or indoor pen because they cannot tolerate wet or muddy ground.
There are some Chilean Tinamou on Softbills listed for $50 each, not sure on average egg price.
Would love to know your friends that own some. I can’t find them for sale anywhere thanks!
