- Keywords:Raising and Releasing Game Birds... Advice Needed
-
- My family owns a cattle ranch in South Central Nevada and we are
- interested in raising and releasing game birds in order to establish a
- self sustaining population. There is a small native population of
- sage hens already on the property, and we have also seen several small
- bunches of chukar. We were thinking of raising and releasing chukar
- and quail. There were populations of both in the past, but they have
- dwindled over the last few years due in part to the increase in the
- number of coyotes and hawks.
-
- Does anyone know of any organization I could contact to get more
- information? I would be interested in purchasing chicks or even
- fertilized eggs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
