I live in indiana but I have never heard of it not being legal for someone to own quail.Around here they are easy to find from private breeders and a few hatcheries ever carry them

Thank you I am going to order some in the spring

I'm wondering the same thing. I have heard from one person about needing a license, but I wonder if that applies to the poultry quail.

I believe it may differ from state to state. You don't need one in Indiana. The OP has likely figured everything out by now as this thread is months old

Awesome! I'm sure Coturnix aren't one you would need a license for since they aren't considered game like the bobs.
