I wish I had the space to. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, since I was a little kid

It takes time but we enjoy it.I used to have blue scale and gambels years ago,they were nice birds.Would still like some blue scale again.Hope to hatch some Valleys and Mountains this year.We go to a bird sale in Lake Tobias,PA.Probably where we'll sell most of our young ones next year.

What do you feed your game birds? Just whatever you can get locally? Or is it a special ration?
