Hi,  I have 2 baby Gambel quails I'm raising. 1 is about 2 weeks old and the other 3 weeks old. What is the ideal temperature to have them at this point?  Also, have them in a large cardboard box with a headlamp attached at one end pointed in their sleeping area. I'm having a heck of a time keeping in at one temperature. I have a blanket covering about 3/4 of the top. They are in the house. I'm in Southern California and right now temps are anywhere from 100 to 65.  Thanks!  Mary

I did mention before that the verification process to post anything seems a bit excessive. I tried to send an internal personal message to another new member and I'm still asked to go through the verification process. I'm sure this process is what is driving away folks from this forum. It would be nice that once we are logged in that the need for the verification process for every entry be set aside. Just a thought from a new member.

Don't know what to tell ya besides  to the forums. Loads of info on here over the years. If ya can't find it in the search feature ask the question and someone or myself will try to help you out.

As far as the supplier feedback section, that is up to the individual who has the problem with the seller. I would advise if you are looking to buy anything gamebird related to first check out that seller with their state DNR to make sure that they are licensed. If you are buying in-state do the same.

Most states require a State Game bird license from you DNR and some states require a state business license before a state game bird license is issued. This is one requirement of my state of WV.

Be aware of Importation Permit requirements as well. Most states if not all require N.P.I.P/AI certificates from your supplier showing that the birds and eggs are clean. Just remember that these certificates are not transferable to a third party. Most states will honor the certificate up to 30 days upon recieving shipment. So if you are expecting your birds or eggs make sure you get them within the alotted time frame.

I'm new to the art of raising quail as well as being the latest new member to this forum. I've stumbled onto this Supplier Feedback section and have to say as a new quail enthusiast, I find this section very valuable. Although I'm disappointed in the fact that it seems to be extremely inactive with a lot of the latest posts going back several years or more.

Can someone explain the reason for such inactivity on this forum? I do have to say that the verification process just to get a comment / question posted seems excessive.

Anyway, it seems a shame that the Supplier Feedback is not more up to date, as that is truly valuable to us beginners.

Hello everyone, I'm located in Rockford, just a stones throw north of Grand Rapids. I have an interest in getting into raising quail for meat. Haven't decided on what breed to get though. I have a question on the Bobwhites and the need for getting a permit to keep. I know there are a lot of different strains of Bobwhites offered, so can I pretty much figure if it has "Bobwhite" in the name it needs a permit from the state to keep? Are there a lot of hoops to jump through in order to get a permit to raise meat birds?  Thank you for the info.

Your best chances are to talk with your state division of natural resources. Most likely as with other states and including WV any wild game bird whether indigenous to the state or not will also include all sub species of quail, pheasant, grouse, and chukar’s. Your DNR can tell you what is require of you  prior to receiving game birds from pen size to sqft per bird and also about importing from other states. Record keeping is a major part of the game bird world.
