Uh-oh. Something Happened at the Feed Store

My hubby saw a tub of Gamble's Quail Chicks and 6 of them came home with us! The store people hatch them themselves. They are so teeny tiny but they seem to be doing okay in the brooder on this cold, rainy night!

I have learned to not even walk by the baby chick bin

Please check with your state department! You need a permit to keep those in mine. It varies state by state. Impulse gamebird purchases not recommended for this reason.

Good luck with the cuties.

Yes I've learned this since we got home.

Great score, usually feed stores don't handle Gambles or Valleys. @CoturnixComplex is correct, check with your state's Natural Resourses Department or Wildlife Department or a Game Warden, most likely Oregon requires a permit to keep them in captivity.
You will also need to feed them a gamebird feed with at least 24% protein.

NOT Gambels!! I hate being old! We got Bobwhites. We did have the knowledge from here to ask for gamebird starter and have discovered that one only needs a permit to raise them for sale. We won't sell them or release them on our land or anywhere else. They will be poultry field decorations.

thank you! I just found you need a permit to raise them for sale. We intend them as bird yard ornaments. We bought straight run, so an appetizer maybe later? And I miswrote. They are Bob whites.

Thank you. Don't need a permit unless we are selling. I might apply anyway. Also i miswrote we have bobwhites.

As long as they are netted field decorations or they will be in someone else's field soon enough.

Also, we demand pics!
