Hey I have not been on in a while but I need to know what is the best type of bobwhite for meat.I would also like to know the space requirements to raising them to about 24 weeks to butcher them. I am planning on ordering about 100 eggs and with any luck im hoping 50 or more will hatch out. They will be in there brooder for a while until fully feathered out then put into the grow out pen until ready to butcher, I want to keep the biggest 12 females and 4 males to put into a seperate colony breeding pen for the next year.
