A PSA about Quail Roos and Population Control

[CoturnixComplex]

@Bluemonster107 it happens to the best of us! I have had birds sitting on "death row" for ages Ocassionally I go to do one and then I'm like NOPE guess not that one.

I'm so glad you found a home for your boys! I'm close enough, but I also have too many males of my own.

They should sell guillotines for quail. That way, people don't need to see it as "culling" the birds. It'll just be reenacting the French revolution.

I would love to do that since I've been psyching myself up for the task, but I don't think mine will be ready to cull until closer to December.

Also, hunters. I'm having a hard time finding game birds in small quantities to train my dogs (they will be treated humanely). You can buy them from game bird farms, but you have to order in quantities of 100. I just want a few quail to plant, to teach my English Setter to "whoa," steady to wing and shot, etc.

You might be the very person I need to talk to. I have bobwhites. I bought them straight run and I think I have at least two males. I think I have two females and don’t know about the other two. I want to only have one male so if I have more but only say two, would you be interested? I’m in Oregon but right along the river near St. Helens.

I dont raise Bob whites but if I recall they only breed in pairs?

I’ve heard that but I’ve also heard that you have to have multiple hens per roo. I’d be okay with one breeding pair housed together and extra hens for eggs housed separately. I’m flexible in however they need to be cared for. I just don’t want fighting Roos.
