RK, TSC, etc...are allowed to sell them, it's up to the buyer to 'obtain' the permits required to keep gamebirds.

My tractor supply doesn’t sell anything but regular chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Nothing considered a game breed.

I heard my local Tractor supply had a shipment of bobwhites

So what does that mean?
Something ate them or what?


I'm trying to catch up now but I've gotten myself out of place.

Ornamental's, along the lines of Goldens and Amherst are actually easier to raise than most of the True pheasants. The ring necked species for the most part are aggressive and territorial. In general, they require more sq.ft. of enclosure to be properly maintained in a breeding program.

luckily the ones that “stayed” are non-typical! and of course they have plenty of room here considering.......Gimpy will take treats from DH on occasion while Daisy is still pretty standoffish........but will still come running when it’s “treat time”. we got pretty tickled today as they don’t like mud!! they both have sought “perches” today on top of the houses etc in order to avoid the mud!! we wrapped the subaviary in plastic as well as all the garden and other plants in anticipation of the “freeze warning” overnight......we’ve had to put off the monthly tilling/turning and mulch refresh until next weekend when the threat of flooding and freeze has passed

Kdog are you writing a novel?

WHAT!
How?

I’m not really sure. A couple of them were acting very strange and came up to the back door instead of going to bed so I went out there and counted and noticed 5 were missing so went looking. Found two and got them home but also found a massive, super long feather trail in the yard from one chicken and then another pile of feathers in the woods from another. haven’t found the third but guessing she’s a goner too.

They free range

Yeah, not all the time but most days lately. I guess not now.

So what does that mean?

I think so, yes.

I am thinking a pack of coyotes or a fox family but I’m really not sure.

Kdog are you writing a novel?

no! At least I don’t think. Does that Count as a novel?
