My sister-in-law has fallen in love with quail and wants to see them running wild in the woods.
So she has this scheme to keep a breeding pair and raise their babies to be released in the woods near her dad's home, hoping that they can develop a population out there.
I raise Buff Orpingtons, so she's picking my brain about it, but i really know almost nothing about quail.
I'm pretty sure i've seen wild flocks, and i'm also sure that my buff orpingtons would probably not survive for five minutes if i did the same with their young.
Anyone have any insight? Will it work at all?
