Did a little more googling and I think that may be right. My coworker found it in her yard and was joking I may have lost a quail.
That looks like a chukar partridge!!!! I had one “come home” after predator attack so could be similar situation.....hard to catch but can with large net
Out west hahaha they can be part of the “wild” population but they as a “breed” are very vocal and call in the flock ie they know when someone is missing! So more likely livestock that escaped for whatever reason. @007Sean or @R2elk may be able to help more as both are closer to “wild range” than I am in IndianaDid a little more googling and I think that may be right. My coworker found it in her yard and was joking I may have lost a quail.
I think it might be someone’s livestock though as I don’t think there are feral populations around here.
I think there's 7 hatched. 1 hatched and passed away. Another is exhausted and may or may not survive. It hasn't recovered much from the exaustion of hatching. The others are doing well though. There's still plenty more to hatch.@mixedUPturk @BReeder! .......hatch update?? i have 1 more in the incubator from this evening. not sure why my homegrowns are so slow and spread out....
No schematics. In am writing a detailed article here on BYC though. It is already published and had plenty of pics. The title is 3-tier Quail Cage.Looks real nice, @BReeder! Wanna post a schematic?(JK... I do actually know how much work putting *that* together would entail.
) At any rate, I’m definitely impressed. You’ve got some lucky little birdies.
Nice article! My husband always says you get straighter small dimension boards ripping your own down than you can buy anyway. So cost savings and a better end result.
