Pure Butler Bobwhite Quail

These are the largest of the Bobwhite quail and they are much easier to raise

than Northern. They grow at a much faster rate. Butlers will weight 10-12 ounces

at around six weeks; when mature 16-22 ounces. On field trials they are proven

to be as fast and flighty as a Chukar and/or a Northern Bobwhite. For breeders I

pick the strongest and make sure they are all about 14-15 ounce. The

hatchability of my Butlers runs from 75-85 percent. Customer satisfaction is a

priority and many of my customers have called to let me know they ended up with

75-85 percent hatches. My Butlers are left out in the winter pens, like all my

other birds. The temperature in Montana gets below zero (-20 to 30 degrees) and

I have never lost a bird from the cold. You will see in the picture that the

size is almost like a Chukar

Feed usage will vary from farm to farm. Good management practices, such as not

overfilling the troughs and controlling the rodents and small birds, helps to

eliminate food waste
