I just artificial light on my coturnix last night..They have had a break since October or so and its time to get back on the job..Their acting like Union quail
You dont have to have permits to own them in Kentucky..Only certain exotic species require permits to "Transport" them across state lines..There is a small list of exotic species that Kentucky will not let you own but of course quail is not on them..Their is also a large list of exotic species...
