well, if I'd known beforehand, I'd have sent some quail up with my son - he just moved back to Michigan (GR) - silly boy, hope he can find a job, but I doubt it, he'll probably be moving back down here in a month or so.

He supposedly moved in temporarily with my sister while looking for a job - hasn't slept at her house once, just dropped off his stuff

he's staying at his friend's house in town, I guess it's easier to put in apps when your's almost downtown GR, than out in the sticks by Greenville.

Chukars can be mean to each other as well, it depends a lot on how big of a group you have, what your male to female ratio is, and how big of an area they have. They need a lot more room than coturnix do.

There is a bobwhite that is supposed to be almost 3# liveweight, I think it's the georgia giant, but I'm not sure. Here in KY you can have less than 50 (so 49) without needing a permit, but you can't sell (or get caught selling

) them or their eggs.​

Yup pen space and ratio and age all play a roll in success with bobbies, i have some butler bobwhites this year I'm growing out and they will easily reach 24 oz's they are huge and much much bigger than my previous bloodlines i have now as 3-4 year old adults...i will be processing all the extra males for dinner in the group im growing out...yummy
