    Common/European Quail vs Coturnix/Japanese Quail

    How easy would it be to get these in the US and are some domesticated? They don't seem endangered as bad as the Japanese ones so could you get birds with more wild instincts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_quail...

    Meat and Veggie based diet

    I was reading another interesting topic https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/236670/grain-free-chickens/30 and there was a post about the Jungle fowl.
