I don't know what your resources are like but if you really enjoy raising them you should think about expanding and doing it for profit. There are plenty of people who like to release the birds on their own land and then hunt them. My brother in Wyoming did that a couple time. He tried it with jungle fowls, they ended up being dinner for bob cats and such. Not enough trees in the part of Wyoming where he lives for them to roost out of harms way.

Yeah, it is. But I raised them from an egg and had no idea what se x they were until they got much, much older.
