Description
Red quail gamefowl are American game birds bred in the red quail color pattern, a red and brown penciled plumage that stands apart from the solid reds most yards carry. This listing is for birds from our own red quail matings, not brokered stock.
The red quail American game is kept for the same reasons as any heritage game family, hardiness, foraging ability, and breeding value, with the color pattern as its signature. Well known American strains include Hatch, Kelso, Sweater, Claret, Roundhead, and Albany, each maintained as a breeding family within the same breed, while a name like red quail describes a color line rather than a separate breed. Ours are hatched and raised on the Gamefowl Farms yard, and each sale bird is photographed individually so you see exactly what you are ordering.

What you receive
Your order ships the photographed actual bird, with NPIP paperwork enclosed, USPS Express delivery nationwide in ventilated, USPS approved boxes, and our live arrival guarantee. Stags, pullets, pairs, and a trio are all offered on this listing. A stag is a first year male, lower priced, adaptable, and with his whole breeding career ahead, while a mature male is a finished bird ready for the pen on arrival; for a color project like red quail, many buyers take a trio and grow into it. If you are collecting American color lines, the Democrats gamefowl pairs well as a second family, and you can browse more gamefowl bloodlines from the same yard.
