Place in NE Ga to buy quail?

[DJPineHillFarms]

I've been trying to create some quail friendly habitat on our new farm and we are starting to hear/see wild quail again. Is there somewhere, somewhat local to NE Ga, that I can buy birds to help supplement the wild population? Would it be worth the effort/hope of them surviving to even fool with it? We aren't looking to establish a "huntable" population, just like helping bring back some of the native critters. Thanks yall!

That's great.

FYI

... Additionally, in areas where wild quail management is an objective, caution should be used when releasing pen-reared quail, as this practice may increase mortality risk to wild birds through the introduction of disease and/or increased predation. Finally, a number of scientific studies have shown pen-reared quail to be ineffective for the purpose of re-establishing wild quail populations.
