$1 an egg for california quail is a pretty good price. And so is $.50 an egg for ringnecks. At least around here.

Not sure, but I will check before hatching. I'm thinking the post would have been flagged if that was the case with the overzealous flaggers on craigslist

Thanks for the responses you guys!

Its not illegal to own CVQ in California, as long as you can prove they came from a federally licensed breeder, in otherwords a 3-186 form. You also will need a domestic game breeders license for CA, you can obtain that from the CA DFG.

As far as $1 per egg, that sounds about the average.

You can also pick-up day olds from a breeder in Alamo for $2 a piece.

One more thing Nancy, there is a breeder in Paradise that has CVQ, look up "pheasants in paradise" on the web and contact him.

Thanks cawooduck, I'll check and see if they are licensed, both of them are within a few miles of my house.
