I recently spoke with someone who raises quail and pheasants and they suggested releasing 4-6 week old chicks in the spring. They said that they have a lot of clients who do this and if the client has sufficient habitat the birds will learn how to survive and will last until hunting season in the fall.
Has anyone had success with this? I have a property that had a wild quail population until about 15 years ago. With some habitat improvements I think it can work again but I don’t want to waste the money if this person is just trying to make a sale.
