The stupidity of some legislation

Eric Bosworth:
In a previous thread I asked about raising quail. I got these quail from a sergeant in the New York State Police. He got a permit for his and put my property on it because he will release them here to train his dog. The stupidity of New York is that we can kill these birds any way we please as long as we don't shoot them. To shoot them we have to wait until season. Can someone please tell me a good reason for this? On the DEC's website the season map only shows Ulster county south and Long Island. There are no wild quail around that might be shot. I have not released any yet... I doubt I have much to worry about but several years ago the justice of the peace who performed the services at my wedding told the conservation officer in court "Marlin, it's a good thing you had heart surgery, people were really wondering if you have one." I think he has retired by now... At least I hope so...

The father of one of my employees raises quail just south of Lake Erie.
I can try and find more info if you are interested.  I know he used a pen, them released to the wild.

For the daycare I own I rented a incubator from a firm called Rent A Chicken.  Nice science exhibit and hands on for the kids.  Seems like they offered quail eggs too.

Eric Bosworth:
I raised day old chicks. I'm not sure if I want to inculcate eggs. It probably would be cheaper...

Eric,
Only if you figure out all of the secrets. We loan our incubator to a teacher and provide how ever many eggs she wants.  She in tern gives us all of the chicks she hatches in her classroom. Out of about 30 eggs in the last group, we got 2 chicks, one of which was a rooster.

Does your incubator auto turn? And did she have kids open it? I would think that they would set and forget and have better results than that. Unless kids played with it. What kind of eggs?
