I used to hatch eggs from McMurry Hatchery. It's pretty cheap if you have the incubator with rotator. My very first baby drowned in a peanut butter lid of water. There wasn't as much info on the web as there is now. Long story short, my last quail, her mate died, and I released her. A couple of days later she startled me. She came back and brought a whole bunch of wild ones with her. They were grubbin' some food. nancy

Oh man, what a neat story!!
I would have been thrilled to have my baby bring back her friends. She was prolly all like,,,

"I know this nice lady, she will feed us and let us play in her gardens". Then of course they said "Oh wow, lets go!"
I wana order a bunch of stuff outta McMurry, chickens and quail and phsants and ducks and oh my EVERYTHING!
Gotta beat hubby into submission first though!

Talk about thrilled I just saw 2 fly out of a thicket this morning. I thought they were all gone the last 3 years. I was thinking the ants are getting the babies, we have so many fire ants.
