Brangwayna, you're in the Lancaster area, right?  You should be able to
get quail at one of the farmers markets.  Try the more yuppie ones.  If
you have a couple hours and want to drive, Zagara's in Glen Mills
(Chester County) carries them.  Or, you can buy them live at many farm
supply stores, raise them for a few weeks then take them to your
butcher.  Offhand, I know Pickering Valley Feed and Seed carries them at
a few weeks old, not just day-olds.
