Quail for training and eating

[lokidog]

Anyone raise quail for training?  What kind and what permits are needed, if any.  Do you use a call back box?

Thanks for any help.

I like quail for dog training, they are so much hardier than chuckar.  My dog would retrieve clip wings so offten they were soaked with slobber, put them back in the cage and they were ready to go again the next day.  One retrieve and chukars give up the ghost.

REALLY?!

I have had no luck with raising quail. I have always viewed them as too delicate to bother with for training unless I had a small pup... granted I am probably doing a thing or three wrong.

I hate pen raised quail. They often aren't great fliers and when they do, it's frequently low to the ground.

I've had better experience with barn chukar.

A guy looking to do some steadying work on the cheap, assuming he can built a coop, would be well advised to invest in some homing pigeons.
