If you have to have a permit to keep quail

Ahhh yes... Sorry I missed that part.

lol, that is ok I guess we will just enjoy them & if we happen to be able to sell babies later that will be great. I just think we'll have trouble finding others with a permit to sell to I honestly enjoy watching them more than the chickens.

I've read through the Va Game and Fisheries permit sections and from what I can tell you only need a permit for Bob White Quail here according to their web site.....
Odd they would require one for Coturnix in NC???

Each state has different laws about game birds, NC is "different" on alot of things. lol they lump all the quail together from button's up.

yes each state is different I have my Class A lisence from NY is handles my ducks and quail. I must tag all dead quail for eating with these special tags and can sell whatever I want as long as I am the one selling them, no middle man allowed.

Good Luck!

The wildlife commission said any quail in NC requires a permit. Doesn't matter if it is bobwhite, button, coturnix... any type requires a permit.

Washington is sure different. Its only gamebirds (Bobs and Valley, Mountain I suppose). It slegal to possess them, and buy them, but illegal to sell them without a permit. The permit is over a hundred dollars and you have to have your birds, and place certified by a vet. That isn't cheap either.

Does anyone know what you need in GA? I keep checking but can't find anything on what license you need in GA.

Yep, every state is different. Here, the only game birds I need a permit for are bobwhite quail, canadian geese, and any type of 'wild' duck. I don't think mallards fall into this category, but I don't need one for pheasant, partridges, or coturnix. I don't even need one for bobwhites, but the stipulation is that I can have less than 50, and I can't sell them or their eggs. If I do, THEN I need a permit. Silly......

Your feed store didn't tell you that you needed one because it's not their responsibility to check up on you. But I would think they would have at least let you know, that's not right. They are just out to make a buck.

Actually the law says you can't sell unless you get the other person's permit & you have to keep a record of it. I am a little surprised that they didn't ask for our permit b/c they could get fined for selling to us. I hope our permit goes through. I would hate to have to get rid of our cute little quail.
