New to the group - also looking for local quail

[Sam_Elliot_Mustache]

Hello All,

I am new to the group and found the website as I was searching for where to source local quail for eggs and personal processing.

I recently built on my in-laws property in the Central Valley of California and as soon as winter softened my soil I went to work transforming my land, and now that spring is here I am looking down the pipeline to autumn and what I want to accomplish, and quail is on that list.

If anyone has any suggestions on where to source local quail i would gladly take any correspondence or suggestions.

Cheers!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join us! Quail are SO much fun to keep. I kept Bobwhites, a few Coturnix and Gambels for over a decade. Fun little birds!

You are best off hatching your own quail instead of starting with birds. And they are not easy to find either. I hope you are able to locate some soon!!

Oh and definitely stop by our Quail forums... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/quail.48/

Good luck and welcome to our group!

The quail forum is a great place to ask about getting eggs. Craigslist is also another possible resource for finding eggs locally.

Hope you enjoy our community!

Welcome to BYC.
We are glad you joined this flock!
Jump right in and make yourself at home.
I believe you are in an area of your state where there is a strict no bird movement going on right now, so finding birds may be hard right now. Double check the maps out here:

Thank you for joining us on the BYC roost! Craigslist is a good site to find quail and you can also ask members in your state's thread which is the link that Pork Pie provided for you.
