Yes he is but only because Tessie was too high to remember.

Can I join?

BTW shouldn't everyone be a member of the @Tesumph and @littleprairieheartsfarm fan clubs?

One bird I wish I could own is ruffed grouse.

I now desperately want frillback pigeons

Speaking of fan clubs, aren't you the president of the "I got to hug Kiki fan club"?

Why, yes. Yes, I am! I don't like to brag, but yes, I did.

AND she hugged back! I didn't have to chase her down or anything. No squealing, no fighting, no kicking. Very nice hug!

Check with your state wildlife regulations. I believe that there are a few states that will issue a permit to own Ruffed Grouse. I do know there is at least one hatchery that sells Ruffed Grouse.

I believe in Washington you don’t need a permit. I do know of that hatchery though. I will have to look into it.

You better check to make sure. It would be very unusual for a state to not require a permit for a game bird.

Thanks. This is what I suspected. This is why I'm doing small hatches from each of my pens separately. I suspect I know who the culprit is for the bad genes, but I want to be sure before I send him off to freezer camp.

Well I know for sure you don’t need a game farm permit.

Based on how difficult it is to find anything online concerning the Sate of Washington's laws regarding the possession of live game birds, my recommendation is to call your local game warden or DNR agent. That person should be able to put you in contact with someone that can provide an answer. I would not be surprised if Washington does not permit the possession of live ruffed grouse and therefore would not have a permit that allows such possession.
