As many as you want to raise and sell, for $8:00 I would take them all...

I am looking to possibly buy some live Bobwhites or Chukar for steadiness training with my english setter. I'll be shooting these birds over him so I'd like strong fliers. I've looked on Craigslist but have not found any (Seattle or Ellensburg/Wenatchee).

Anyone have a lead on some birds?

Thanks

I have a guy in Quincy that should have flyers by April. He sells chukar and valley quail. Pretty sure he was $7 for chukar $5 for quail. Also have a Moses Lake contact that's selling pigeons for $2.

Cool. I'll need to line up some additional private land access by then as the access I have now will shut down on 4/1 (plus the snakes will be out by then).

My setter sprained is leg Saturday so he's going to be out for a couple weeks. But I'll PM you for details when the time comes.

Thanks

I'd love to get in on some chukar if you are willing to share the contact?

PM Jaybird02 about that.

You still have the number I gave you right? He should have some come summer

as of today, two farms in Washington who raise birds for dog games are destroying their flocks.

Destroying their flocks? what do you mean?

Coturnix Quail are relatively easy to find, hatch, raise, and they're tasty too.  They mature in about 6 weeks and if raised properly can fly good enough for training.

There are some serious disease issues going on with some avian flocks in our state. I am guessing that is what Happy is talking about. I know a couple weeks back there was a couple farms identified with issues and like most disease outbreaks they get worse before better. Again, not positive but probably what he meant by "destroying teir flocks".

Oh ok gotcha. That's crazy! I heard about the avian flu being here but didn't know it was that heavy.

Yes, a good friend of mine is in process of euthanizing 5,000 ducks. I know she had pheasant as well but not sure how many. The spring trials and hunt tests might be using pigeons

[Birdguy]

Happy, not many folks in our state raise that many ducks, does your friend happen to live in the north central part of the state? If so I bet I know them, either way that absolutely sucks. All things bird are expensive but euthanizing that many is terrible. Likely no reimbursement either  .
