Maybe someone here could help me out....
Could I possibly substitute Rock Cornish Hens for Quail? If not where oh where might I find some Quail to purchase? I live in North Georgia, if that helps.
Thanks for any input, Cathy

Yes, Cathy, you can sub Game Hens for quail. You'll have to adjust cooking times a bit, though, because Game Hens are larger.
Buying quail is always rough. Some markets (i.e., Fresh Mart) do carry them seasonally, although they are frozen.
Best bet is to check with a hunt club. Sometimes they make cleaned birds available---although usually just to members. But they're live-bird suppliers sometimes are in the cleaned-bird business as well, and they might share that info with you.
And, of course, there are on-line suppliers.

Thank you KYH I will most likely use the Cornish hens as you told me what I needed to know.

From my notes -
Substitutions for quail - partridge OR pigeon OR Cornish game hen OR grouse
