Why should I hatch Quail?

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

I love your setup too Steve. What do you use on the flooring? Is it 1/2" hardware cloth and if so, is there a tray to catch the droppings or do they just go on the ground? I'm trying to figure out a setup to move mine outdoors but I don't want the dogs to eat the poop.

Any suggestions?

Ahhh we don't have to have a permit here for Coturnix, amazing in CA as we have to have permits, smog certificates and everything else possible

Good tip on the feeder, thank you! I still have my first coturnix in the brooder but almost ready to move them outside and hatch some more

Can you cross bobwhites with coturnix?

If so what kind of bird is the offspring and are they fertile?

Do you have to have a permit in Indiana to keep Coturnix Quail?

Thanks,

Does anyone know about permits for keeping quail in SC?
