Nice!
Kitten and bullfrog bait when they're still chicks. There aren't too many carnivores out there that CAN'T get them in their mouths at some stage.
Dollyndrew,
Obviously whoever you wrote/said they don't fly never flushed them hunting. They're not duck-goose or even dove distance fliers, but I've seen them hit 20 feet up and make a full 20-25 yard arc with it. I think they're faster to the air than chickens, and they seem slightly more coordinated with it.
Sorry you got lied to, man.
could always clip the flight feathers.
I was mulling over getting quail since chickens aren't allowed in the city but hubby hates birds...Still mulling it over....
I raised quail in my apartment for a while. I ate quail eggs and meat til I was stuffed, it was fun. but eventualy I gave up as it was very messy. I sold all my quail and equipment to a guy who lives in a townhouse, he has them in his basement and he loves it. so it can be done in a city even in apartments if one can put up with the mess.
