Picked up some quail today
We picked up 20 quail today from Davis Feedmill in Richland (bucks county). There were $1.95 each. They are about the size of your thumb when you get them.
I have them in the hutch with a heatlamp. I can see that changing the feed and water will be a challenge. The little guys think they are minature roadrunners. I had three jump out just putting them in.
The plan is to keep them in the hutch until they are fully feathered out and then release them. Hopefully they will stay nearby. Quail are natural predators of ticks.

do pheasant and/or ruffed grouse prey on ticks?
I believe they do. I posted a more detailed response at
