I used to raise quail

That must have been a strong flying strain of quail if you had to chain him to that board to keep him from flying off.

That wasnt a full grown one either , they can get much larger depends on their diet .

Usually they dont get to the point of laying eggs but we put them on vitamins and they ended up getting quite larger than they had previous seasons and we had so many birds left over they started to lay eggs . We had flight pens full of quail eggs that season .

Thanks Milton for your post. This is why I love the PGCA and this post in particular. In addition to getting interesting information, occasionally you can have a little fun with it.

As 15 year old kid I was proud of the birds I raised .
Then after that I eventually went to work for the plantation itself driving the horse carriage and I got to handle and shoot some fine shotguns like that 20g Purdey .
