Quail

This Coturnix breed of Quail is from Texas Quail Farms LLC. They are a vertically integrated agribusiness, meaning they are involved in the entire production process. With hatching, growing and processing facilities in in their area of Lockhart and Luling, TX, results in high quality, safety and no stress on the bird. They are the only state inspected quail processing facility. These delicate game birds are humanely raised in a stress-free environment without ever receiving antibiotics or hormones.

Squab

We source our squab from a cooperative of small farms in California’s beautiful Central Valley, where they are raised naturally, breeding and rearing their young in nest boxes placed in open barns. Mated pairs of pigeons feed their offspring a mix of high-protein grains including soy, sorghum and corn. Each monogamous pair of breeding stock yields approximately 12-14 birds per year, some of which must be retained for future breeding, so the cost is directly related to the low production rate. The fledgling squabs have never flown and are raised until 3.5 to 4 weeks of age.

Pheasant

D'Artagnan offers ring-necked pheasant, an old breed with full-flavored pinkish-white meat that we prefer to the more common and commercially raised Milan White breed. Our pheasants are raised on small farms in unique, free flight conditions. Large, netted fields provide protection and allow the pheasants their natural behavior, like foraging in tall grasses. They are fed a clean grain diet, free of any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products.
