Wow thanks for all the information!

I definitely will be avoiding the Bob Whites, the Jumbo Coturnix Quail sound like a good option though. I have heard of them before but I forgot what they were called.

I think from what you have said and my other research I will probably start out with chickens. I have some experience with them already and they lay a lot of eggs if you get a laying breed. Ducks have a lot of attributes I like but I am not sure how I will care for them and give them water in the winter, it is frozen here about 5 months a year...

There is a reason chickens are so popular I guess.
