Hatching quail or pheasants

[Grizzly95]

Thanks Bone I will check with them and see if they would like some more birds, plus if they take them my kids can still be a part of watching them grow.

 
Thanks to all you guys for the input.

Old Dog our name is D&B Gamebirds. We raise ringneck, reeves, impyean, satyr, and hopefully a  few fireback pheasants, blue and purple peafowl, huns, mountain, valley, and bobwhite quail, white homers, and silky and maran chickens. If you have a few extra chukar I would like to buy some and would be glad to help you sex them if you still need a hand. Bone is correct with the spur, though it will look more like a bump. I will PM you also.

One more thing to check into.....our 4H group was able to hatch and release pheasants and chucks, through the poultry program.  This was in eastern WA and about 8 years ago but I have talked to others more recently that have done this.

Alot of people do it runamuk,  but most are illegal.  How many thousands of chicks do you think Big R sells in a year?  I wonder how many of those get released.

I realize many do it illegally, I was suggesting 4H because it was very specific which birds we hatched and where we released them  and as I noted it has been a while and times change....

I can order chicks of all sorts from the feed stores, as can plenty of other people and I've often wondered how many of those game bird chicks get released
