[Chateauredneck]

i know this is a quail venue ...and we have 45 now the oldest being 6 weeks the smallest being 6 days..... but I am looking for any info on raising ruffed grouse ... we live in SW Va and am curios of any laws...and once I had an older Gent tell me that they will go sterile in captivity.. Thanks in advance for any insight.
