Hi! I came across you while searching how to grow out large numbers of quail at a time. Great Video, Im glad I found your channel. Nice To Meet You!

I agree with raising them on the ground. I have mine on the ground in a large flight pen and had very few losses as well. Plus they're so much happier.
I think they do better on the ground. We have a few above ground pens and those quail do not seem to do as good.
I’m just getting started raising quail, for training my English pointer. And as pets, I like your setup and wish you the best!
Thankyou We appreciate your comment and interest in our channel
New subscriber here and I am glad I found you. Thanks for posting. I'm about to start on building a quail pen now and look forward to following your channel.

nice set up ,the quail have plenty of fighting room,when i raised quail,i had to raise them in pens with tin roof's on them,we have so much snow ,that it would smash them to the ground
thankyou, we raise and sell quail on a commercial basses for game preserves and trainers so we need larger then normal pens to have flight condition birds, and with less crowing they do better and are not so stressed
I still remember hunting quail up at River Bend Hunting lodge in upstate SC. Thanks from Chile. Jim
+ChileExpatFamily Thank you for your comment and yes we hunt alot in South Carolina.
Thank you for sharing! Just moved to Pleasant Grove and thinking about getting quail!!
Very cool, thanks for watching. Let us know if you need any quail
Really enjoyed your video

You are welcome thank you for checking out our Channel
I love quail eggs
Yes they are good. And they're also healthy food. Thanks for watching
Great info! Thx for sharing!
Well thank you for the comment and thank you for watching our video we appreciate your support
Hi do you have a detailed video on how to care for the eggs into babies? can you turn the camera around and show us exact steps lol thanks. what Im wondering is do you have to use an incubator or do the mums hatch their own eggs like chooks?
Thank you for your question we are at present working on a more elaborate hatching to Chick video If you have a specific question please let me know and as a general rule domesticated Quail will not sit on their eggs I don't know why this happens but they won't I have heard of some people putting quail eggs under hen chickens and they will sit on them. So the only sure way to hatch them out is with an incubator If I can answer a more specific question please let me know and thank you for taking the time to watch our videos
@@theoutdoorsportsmen thank you for replying.
Great video mate from Jason in England
Of course every farm cat is different but can I have quail go out and forage with being taken out by cats or will they be just small enough to be considered fair game by the cat. With a momma around our ducklings and chicks are fine. Will a medium quail chick be alright?
Jerry thank you for your question In my opinion it is a cats nature to prey on birds and a quail is no different. I don't think the quail would work out very well on its own. Your ducks have the mother to protect them and quail really more or less are on their own. Not sure if I answered your question or not if not let me know and will try to engage further with it
Thanks Jim
Great video. Thank you. Do you ship? Also what size pen would you recommend for 30 quail?
+Daniel Mitchell Daniel, for 30 quail I would say a pen 8/10 foot in diameter would be sufficient. Thanks for the question and watching.
Thanks for info. Great video!!!
Thanks for commenting and watching
Have you noticed any flavor difference between the different breeds? Is there one that you prefer to eat over the others?
Amazing
I'd imagine the metal surrounding the base of the pen is critical to prevent losses when raising them on the ground is that correct?
Yes but we also use it to keep cats dogs and other animals from spooking the birds. Thanks for your comments
I have a question about bugs like bored beetle , bc I have issue with them and want an alternative ways to killed the beetles and bugs without chrmical or pestricle 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙏🏻
Do quail eat beetles or larves like Simba
You can use permission spray which is all natural and will not harm wildlife or you can also spray vinegar on the ground and that will help deter the Beatles
Jim how do you catch the quail when you get an order?
+Harlo Condo Harlow that is a very good question what we do is we have a spot at the end of our pens, and we slowly walk all the quail to one end and there's a small door open with a catch cage and what they will do is they will go through the small hole into the cage and then you close the door and you're able to count them out. We having some cases used a net before but what happens is you get the birds all flying around and then the feathers get messed up in some commercial hunting preserves don't like that for their customers. That's a very good question and I think I will go ahead and do a video on how we do that that way you can better see how we collect our Quail for customers Be watching for it. Thank you for your comment and Thank you for your support
Thank you for your video. How cold do your winter's get?
You are welcome Linda. At times we can see 10/15 degrees. Not as cold as some northern states but we still have to watch the weather. Thanks for your question. Be sure to watch for new videos this spring.
Great setup. Do you have any problems with snakes?
+J&L Homestead Not on the bigger birds J&L but we have from time to time on the smaller birds, how snakes will not bother to bad and they are a benefit with the mice and poisonous snacks. It's the farrel cat's that we have to watch for. Thanks for you question, and we like you're channel
Thanks, I am just now getting tarted with quails.
i prefer wire cloth over chicken wire because chicken wire gets very brittle over only a few yeara with all or weather changes here in Washington state.
+Shokara2 I can see where it would there. I think you guys receive a lot of rain also and if you are close to the saltwater it will really speeds up the datereation of the wire. We don't have that much of an issue here. We get about seven to eight years ounce our pens
theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors we have a small poultry farm (400 chickens or so) and while we are up in the mountians so salt water isnt an issue.... big predators ARE. We have to make our enclosures tough enough to deal with the weather and predators. Our best solution for ground predators is electric mesh fencing which is hooked up to a cattle charger. Works well most of the time. We pasture raise so we also have a MAJOR problem with air based predators (mostly red tails and bald eagles). We are looking into quail to diversify out farm. Ive had quite a few requests not only for eggs but also meat and hunting birds. We use a certified organic non gmo feed we ship in from a mill in state. they make a chick feed thats ground pretty fine... would quail be able to eat that or do they need a special feed?
+theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors most of our Predator issues here are feral cats and stray dogs or wild dogs we've had to do the electric fence also and we've also had to take other measures as far as the food goes we feed our Quail as chicks a chick starter the same as you would for small chickens or small chicks and that works really well for them as they get older we change over to a game bird feed which has Milo in it and sunflower seeds and crack corn and they really like that. You can find it at most any Farm Supply. Just remember when they are chicks and you changing their diet around to do it gradually. One reason we change them from the chick starter or grower feed to the game bird feed is it is about half the price and with as many birds as we raise through the year it helps cut the cost and they do seem to prefer it more. thank you for your comments by the way I really enjoyed talking to you from Washington State and I appreciate you taking a look at our videos. If we can help you and answer any other questions please let us know and check out our website at www.quailhollowbirdfarm.com
theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors thanks so much for replying. I can guarantee I will have more questions as we get into quail.
We had quail and pheasant to train our english setters.
+michael therrien thank you for your comment Michael we have a llewellin Setter that we use quite a bit his name is Sammy. Also have a German Wirehair, and German Shorthair. Thanks for getting in touch with us and leaving a comment we appreciate it
Are you still raising the Tibetan quails for hunting? Do they still fly decent. I'm torn between bobwhites and Tibetan. I've raised a lot of coturnix for meat and eggs so I am familiar with them. I would prefer the faster turnaround of the Tibetan as long as they fly decent. Thanks...
We like the Tibetan or the Conturnx quail better because they are more disease tolerant than bobwhite quail however I think dogs can send bobwhite quail better. We do have a lot of customers that prefer the Tibetans or Conturnx quail for dog training because they're a little less money and there a little stronger bird
you doing good
Thankyou for your comment and watching
Are the Geargia giant eggs big then the Northern bobwhites, and will they fit and the little giant egg turner? Also what about the gumbo coturnix eggs, will they fit?
+Dale Bourgeois Dale Georgia Giant quail eggs are slightly bigger than bobwhite quail and so are the Conturnix and the Tibetan quail eggs but they will work in any Turner that has quail egg rails
theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors Thankyou for the reply, I was given two large incubators, Leahy Favorite incubator. the incubator/ hatcher, but I'm using a little giant turner in the hatcher till I can change the fan motor in the incubator. I will email or call you soon. Thankyou, and God bless
Man, I have so many questions. I’m looking to make a career change and I’m thinking I wanna raise quail.
Well Caleb I will try to answer any questions you may have.
Which variety of quail do you raise for Hunting Clubs?
Thanks for your question. We raise bobwhite quail both Georgia Giant and the smaller bobwhites.
Do the rats get in there? I am going to raise about 12-15 this year and see how they do in MN. I have a nice pen and few acres next to a game refuge.
We really don't have much of an issue, almost no issue with rats we have more trouble with stray and feral cats than anything but once in a while we do have a rat issue and we deal with it quickly thank you for your question and for watching our videos
nice setup, I have bought bobwhite's before to have some fun with my gun, ( and brittany) Now I live in suburban florida, and going to raise bobwhite's as meat birds along side my ducks/chickens, in your opinion how much room does one trio of bob's need? Im going to build a little hutch about 5 feet off the ground. thanks.
If you would build something 5' square and 3' high will be plenty of room for them. Use rabbit cage mesh wire for the floor so they don't get in there droppings. Thanks for your comment and question
What do you do with all the eggs?
If are eggs are Coturnix quail we put them in the incubator and hatch them out. Usually Bob White we don't have that many
Do you guys get rattle snakes? If so what do you do to protect the birds from them?
No rattlesnake but we get lots of blacksnakes . We have to thin them out once in awhile. I hate to but there would be to many if we didn't control them.
@@theoutdoorsportsmen is there a type of chicken that would eat the snakes? So many questions. I appreciate your time.
Do you sell any bobwhites at this time?
At this time we don't Andrew we have had to do an awful lot of renovating here on the poultry pens and quail pens and have not started to raise Birds again at this time
Can a snowflake qauil and Georgia giant quail cross breed
Brianna that is a 64 dollar question. Not trying to be smart but I don't know for sure 🤔🤔 If they are a type of bobwhite quail I think they should be able to. If another follower can answer the question please do
Thanks for your support all
what happens if change to game feed as soonest you put them in the quail pin?
love your video.
+Luis Diaz well Luis we usually start them off slow from the starter or flight conditioner feed to game bird feed to let their digestive systems adjust to the change I don't think you should just do a sudden changeover too quickly.Thank you for your comment and for your support and I'm glad you like the video will be posting a new one next week
Awesome. ... thanks God bless you
💗🙏👆☝
young rats can get through chicken-wire mesh - need 1/4" to keep them out - more critical to keep them out of the brooding house - but they will attack adult quail - may not kill but can injure them - sheet metal around base is important if using this chicken wire mesh - some ground predators (cats for example) will cruise along the edges, reach in, snag them with a claw and literally pull them through - like the landscaping - we do that too - as natural as possible - wire mesh floor is bad for their feet - we don't release ours (Coturnix Pharaoh Quail ), just flag them and use them for pointer training - flags help in finding them after flushing and blanking - thanks for the info
thank you from the added information. I'm sure our viewers will appreciate it. We don't have much trouble with the rats or the cats because we very aggressively control this problem however we have had issues with hoot owls when they get into the pen we just put a glove on grab them and turn them loose and fix where the hole is. We appreciate your comments and your support
And use Coni Bear model 110 steel traps.
