Benson Quail Anyone???

[WaterfowlWierdo]

Hello, I recently acquired a pair of Benson Quail, I was wondering if there is anyone else out there with any or whom previously had some. I have dealt with quite a bit of other types of quail but these are my first Bensons and the internet is lacking in info on them....So here they are!

I've heard them called elegant quail here in the states, and in mexico I've heard them called Yaqui quail. Not sure if that helps but I noticed doing a search on bensons that the all knowing internet seemed to not know much.

My 2 cents: I've never raised benson quail, but I suspect they shouldn't be more difficult then the toughest new world quail. There seems to be little information, but perhaps you might be able to share your experiences.
