SandHill Preservation Center has Partridge Chanteclers. I can't say that I would recommend SandHill though, my experience with them wasn't great, but if you can't find anywhere else. Just be prepared for a long wait.
The white j giants and red sussex I got from them are doing awesome. Growing great and very active.
Took a picture of a giant, they're turning white now, and the lone langshan but wasn't going to post it after looking at it, not fluff butts anymore, they are in the ugly mangy stage, Lol!

Thanks guys

On a tragic note
My young drake is dead. Sprocket was mauled by a dog two days ago (not my dog) and passed today of what I assume were internal injuries I was not aware of... Had I known I would have dispatched him two days ago. Oh man, he was my boy, my assisted hatch... Poor kid... Where was I on that one???

So sorry, Sam!!

You did what you could... poor baby... feel for you...

@Alaskan
 don't you use dogs to get around in the winter  ?

I use voles


@JulesChicks i really like my Dominiques... Their color might not be flashy, but they stay pretty looking all year round. (Nice strong feathers, don't look muddy etc.)

Gaaah! A second quail has the same injury that the one from 2 days ago had. The first one is almost ready to go back into a cage.. But I have another one injured!

Ok now! What is going on? A tiny sharp something somewhere in their cage? Quail beating up on each other????

Looks like sharp objects to me. I have put duct tape over what I think is the culprit tonight.

Poor quail...

Outpost, sorry but I'm no good with colors... I like all cool colors, lol...

Little out of it, got a nasty concussion yesterday... still a bit dizzy and nauseous... good note, sold a bunch of chicks and thinned out my flocks...

@JulesChicks welcome back!

Hands down, my lf Araucanas are my most snuggly... have 2 pullets that'll fly up to my shoulder and 'talk' to me if I don't talk to them first... thanks for the compliment on my Am's, they're my 2nd most social... if I don't pick them up, they'll try to jump into my arms... Cream Legbars are stand offish and a bit flighty, so are my Sulmtalers, but my Sulmtaler roo is a big baby, lol... Marans are ok, but bull-headed... still growing out Ohiki, but they seem the most curious and intelligent next to my Araucanas and Am's... got rid of my Wellies cuz they were a bit crazy... my Australorp girls are pretty and calm though... like them a lot...

how tall is their pen? Because when I worked in the pet store the button Quail were always bashing their heads on the roof of their cage and causing damage very similar....

When Quail get excited they shoot straight up in an effort to escape....

They got damage on their eyes and side of the head? Their cage is maybe 18" tall.

Quail leave the ground with a lot of force in order to shoot a good ten feet in the air... My little button quail in my aviaries would shoot up almost six feet when they got startled.
