Wild Quail laying eggs in chicken nesting boxes

[Altairsky]

It's a new species: the cuckoo quail!

Are wild quail/eggs legal to own where you are? Can you get a permit?
I would not incubate them without verification since you could be fined/jailed.
You are also opening up access for disease for your flock.

I had no idea that this was a Thing!

Gamebirds often require a permit, and sone you can't have no matter what.
