Mexican Speckled Quail for free--should I get them?

[Sparrow]

I was offered some Mexican Speckled Quail from a friend the other day...her dad breeds them for eggs...and I don't know anything about them. She said I could come pick out some for free. I have read about other types of quail, but does anyone know anything about these guys? I would be interested in keeping some for pets/eggs. Should I pick up a few?

They are a color variation of bobwhite. So pretty much any info on bobwhites would pretain tot hem as well. I've been trying to get MS eggs for awhile and the taste of the meat is really good.

Thanks a lot for the information! I'm going to talk to her about those quail soon. They are really pretty looking birds! I guess I have absolutely no reason whatsoever not to get some quail. lol

Lophura, I'm only about 30 minutes west from Lenexa, and I spend a lot of time over there. Where do you do your science shows? I'm quite familiar with most of the area.

Where will you keep them if you get them? Aren't you currently housing chickens and ducks in your bedoom in small pens?
