I have a couple of times, but always end up butchering all of them for meat after a year or 2.

It's an everyday ordeal, and you have to have someone feed them anytime you want to leave town. I always get bobwhites, but my buddy had some pharohs for a while.

It's a cool hobby.

I think the key thing to raising animals is to make it as low maintenance as possible I raise show rabbits too. I have all of them in a metal building in runs of hanging wire cages with automatic water systems. So there is no water to fill up and all my feeders for quail and rabbits are set up on outside of cages so I just walk with a bucket of feed and a cup and dump at each cage. So if I leave someone can feed all my rabbits and quail in a couple of minutes. When having babies and dealing with eggs now that takes a little more time.
