Quail in Wyoming

[lwheelr]

Actually, Wyoming has the lowest population of all 50 states. Less than 1 million.

One other wrinkle - the Permitting Officer knows us by name. If anyone would catch their attention, we would. It is a small state - she used to be Game Warden here, and knows us personally.

Well Best I Can Tell You Is Good Luck Then, Seems As Though They Have Made It Rediculously Difficult And Overly Expensive To Use That Fancy Permit They Sold Ya..... Bet It Wasnt Hard To Get Or Pay For Tho Was It?

Actually, the permit was free.

There is one that costs, if you want to raise them commercially. We may do that eventually, if we can get them going. I suspect there may be a fairly decent market for them in Wyoming, since it is so hard to get them otherwise!

Free Financially, Now Add In The Agrevation Costs And Extra Fees You're Likely To Have To Pay For All This Mumbo- Jumbo Just To Get Starting Stock... I Feel For You. I Certainly Hope They Do Well For You Once You Get Them. It Would Be A Shame To Jump Thru So Many Flaming Hoops To Get A Poor Outcome. Good Luck With Them

I am determined. I am determined to get quail, and to raise them successfully.

I have Crohn's Disease. So do two of my kids. Quail eggs and meat are easier to digest than those from chickens. We need the nutrients. We don't absorb protein very well from most store meats, and we can't break it down enough to get the other essential vitamins and minerals out of it. Just switching to home raised duck, rabbit, and banty eggs, and homegrown goat milk has dropped the amount of supplements I have to take from literally a full handful every morning and night (multiples of B-12, B-6, B-Complex, Folic Acid, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Niacin, Vitamin A, plus garlic, hops, turmeric, dill, peppermint, chamomile, fennel, and cabbage powder), down to just three pills a day (folic acid, B-6, and garlic), and getting better all the time. We aren't raising this as a hobby, but as a necessity.

So if it costs us a bit more than it should, it is still less costly to us than having to buy "organic" foods at an inflated price, from which we get half the nutrient value that we should.

It is a pain in the backside - and far more complicated than it should be. But it is still better than the alternative.

I candled my eggs today and saw some veins, I'm hopeful.

I'm still wiling to sell you some and dot he vet cert. I'm always willing to help.

 

[lwheelr]

Ok, the vet certificate has to be issued on a state provided form (from the state of origin). Many states will provide a vet certificate when selling birds out of state, you'd have to call your State Vet and ask about that.

So the procedure would be different than just having your vet do a check.

Alright. I'll drop hima n e-mail. He replied to my other one and couldn't supply me with the NPIP form I'd requested. I'll have to see if he can supply me with a different one that does the same thing.

 

[lwheelr]

It is some kind of State Poultry Export Health Certification or something like that. Like I said, our people weren't exactly helpful, so they won't (or can't) tell me specifics, or send me an example.
