What about Raising Giant Quail?
I have received several emails in the last week about raising the giant variety of quail. Although I am not exactly sure how these quail have evolved, they are of the bob white specie of quail.
There are the Georgia giant, Wisconsin jumbo and the Indiana giant. I believe the Georgia giant is the bigger of these 3. The Georgia giant quail can reach a weight of 16 ounces at maturity. They can be strong fliers, if properly conditioned, productive layers and good for a meat quail.
These quail can be easily raised in the captive environment. They are relatively disease resistant and are raised the same as the regular bob white.
The Georgia giants are about 3 times as big as the Northern bob white at maturity. So if you are considering a larger variety of quail to raise. You may want to consider the Georgia giant.
