Man that's awesome. I'd love to have some quails

Cool. My cousin next door to me used to raise them just for the Hell of it. He didn't eat them and wouldn't pickle the eggs. A few times a year he would release a couple covey in the pasture. It was cool to sit on the porch and watch quail in your back yard.

That's pretty cool. Why are they different color? Male and female?

Bobwhite have a small margin of survival in the wild after release. It has been successful before but, not in staggering numbers.

Pharoh quail, are really from a more arid climate so, the odds of survival may be the same as bw but, the odds of successful reproduction are likely less.

what about north louisiana? Release them in big numbers like every other year? I always heard my grandfather talk about killing quail up there in the old days.

Like southern151 said, captive raised quail released in the wild are almost always a waste of time. Habitat, habitat, and habitat is what quail need and there are so many factors that have contributed to their decline (lack of fire, mowing too much, herbicide use, FIRE ANTS, and most of all feral cats). The places I have seen them the most recently in N La are in WRP fields. Kisatchie has a decent population, but in S La the ones I see are in sugarcane fields.
