Title: Looking to get some California Quail - Help
Post by: engelwood on June 17, 2010, 08:45:08 PM: Hello all. I am looking to get some california quail, somewhere around 65. Anyone know anywhere that I can get some chicks? I don't want to get eggs if possible. Any info you can give me would be great. I'm in SW washington and am willing to travel to get em'. Thanks!

http://www.mtbulliongamebirds.com/prices.html, (http://www.mtbulliongamebirds.com/prices.html,) for next year

Came up with these on a Google search. I think it might be kind of late in the season to be getting chicks of game birds. I have gotten chicken chicks from Strombergs, they were good.

Not cool, so now I'm in scramble mode. I sure hope it's not TOO late to make it happen. Thanks again for the help!
