one of these breeds

Breeds ?

Maybe that is your problem, no one has any breed of Quail.

Try looking for the species, and you'll have more luck  :angel:

  I believe it has been over a year, since I last talked to Kyle.  He hasn't been on for over a month.  He's a good guy, but we're really too far away, for shipping a few birds, especially adults.

do you have both species? or just one? do you have pairs or trios? and finally 40 bucks for all of them or per bird? thanks...

  That was sort of my point (although I wasn't clear about it).  It's not a lot of money, but would double the cost of the birds.

  Try Jim  Williams  (303) 443-3112 he has Bobwhites, but I'm not sure about Tennessee Reds.  I have some that are about 20% Tennessee Red.  I thought I might raise some Tennessee Reds this year, but I'm not as wild about that, now.

  What do you plan to do with a few of each?

  In case you missed it, Tennessee Reds are a mutation of regular Bobwhites.  Some people claim they are wilder, others say the reason it seems that way is that mixes always tend to be wilder than more closely bred strains.  Jim Murray might have an idea which is closer to the truth.

Im really wanting them for personal enjoyment and maybe when it comes around to breeding season i will hatch whatever eggs are fertile but at this time i cant jump in with large numbers i will have to slowly grow bigger hopefully

Kingwolf & Wildgamebirds, The Tenn reds are defiantly a wilder bird than the regular bobs. Also been told they recall better than the regular bobs and are a hardier bird. here is a picture of some thank ya Jim

When your in phase 1 cost is not the primary concern.
And I HAVE BEEN TOLD that you can hunt the Tenn. Reds year round on the hunting clubs because I HAVE BEEN TOLD its  because they are a SUB- species.
Just try to catch and hold one with 1 hand... c110
I BEEN TOLD its the quail of the future on hunting clubs and lots of clubs are going to them. I think if I were going to raise for the clubs it is the direction I would go. Its the first quail a friend of mine sells out of in Arkansas.
