Quail in Wyoming

[R2elk]

Did you get your permit? I applied 3 weeks ago and didn’t hear anything back.

Sorry you have not received your permit yet. You may want to contact your local game warden to see if he can be of assistance. He is the person who will have to come inspect your place before the permit is granted.

I am a bran new member (Hi ya'll) and I have joined this forum completely for the purpos of figuring out how to get quail in wyoming. I am currently in the process of applying for a permit from the Fish and Game in order to keep them. I wasn't going to worry about finding someone I am going to buy birds from until after I got the permit, but the permit asks for the name and address of my supplier. Here's the problem.


"A certificate of veterinary inspection completed by an accredited veterinarian from the state of origin within ten (10) days prior to importation of game birds and/ or game bird eggs into the State shall be required. In addition, a statement signed by the supplier of the game birds shall be submitted to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Attention: Permitting Officer, 3030 Energy Lane, Casper, Wyoming 82604 on a form prescribed by the Department attesting that the game birds and/ or game bird eggs and premises of origin are free of infectious, contagious and communicable diseases. Diseases include, but shall not be limited to, Newcastle disease, Salmonella, pullorum, avian cholera, duck viral enteritis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and avian influenza. The statement shall also indicate that no game bird within the flock of origin is known to be infected with or to be exposed to avian tuberculosis. Game birds and premises of origin shall have been free of said diseases for at least one (1) year immediately preceding the date of shipment into the State and the premises shall not have experienced an undiagnosed mortality of more than ten percent (10%) of the game birds during the same one (1) year period."


So to list a supplier I need to find someone to buy from that is either already in wyoming, or can provide a certificate of health. This is a bit of a bummer because origonally I had planned to just buy the eggs off ebay. How do I go about finding a supplier than can ship into my state legally? How much is this going to cost me above and beyond the normal starting up price?
