So I been researching and reading the city ordinance law and policy. Emailing with the leaders about the ordinance.
I READ and was point to and come to the conclusion that I couldn't keep any chicken or fowl in the city. Man, reading those ordinance makes no sense and they always back it up with another.
Since I couldn't keep any fowl.
I decide that button quail should be the way to go. Since I read on here and many have pointed out that button quails are consider a different species apart from out state native quail. I should be allow to raise them as Pets instead of fowl/poultry.
Oh, Since button quail is consider as a pet, Petco seems to have a petscare sheet for them as well: http://www.petco.com/assets/caresheets/bird/button-quail.pdf date 2012 so it's pretty convince to me if I ever get into trouble, I can back it up.... I don't see them selling button quail in the store but im sure you can special order them in.
And our state is able to sell them in petstore down south. I don't see why not.
Now here is the kicker.
I will have to buy some eggs and hatch them myself...will be my first time.
I want to raise them as Pet but also the same time, they will provide me with free eggs if they chose so.
Anyone have done this and willing to comment?
I am a fish keeper and looking to downsize my tanks to allow this to happen in my room.
