    Thank you so much for your video... I am a single mom and thinking about raising quail instead of chickens. My thinking for doing this is that I find them way easier to butcher. How does raising quail for meat compare with one another... as far as cost?

    • @UrbanAviary
      @UrbanAviary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Mercy Eleos Quail will eat less feed to get to slaughter, but not sure if pound for pound it's any cheaper. But you have to ask yourself as a single mom how much your time is worth? I can process a quail in less than a minute. A chicken would probably take me 5 once I became proficient at it. And if you pay someone to process them then it's defiantly not cheaper. I would still keep chickens around for eggs though.

    Love your videos, my dad has watched almost all of them! We have a question we hope you can answer: recently, our flock contracted bumble foot. The cages have 1/2 inch hardcloth wire mesh on the bottom, and they are cleaned very regularly. Despite our best efforts to maintain a clean environment, the bumble foot spread and we had to introduce antibiotics. Would it benefit the birds if we swapped out the hardcloth for some kind of coated mesh wire? Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    • @UrbanAviary
      @UrbanAviary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +nadiam1389 That may help. It would certainly be a bit easier on their feet. If there's any possible way to set up a soft bedding area for them to recoop in, that would be best. But that's not always feasible. I don't like using antibiotics as an automatic thing for everything, but in this situation it's defiantly a good idea and I would do the same. If you can set up a small area with soft bedding and rotate them through it a few at a time every few days, that might be the best way to prevent it and help them heal. Please email me and update me on what action you take and how your flock is doing. And let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching and for the kind words, it makes what I do worth doing.

    • @ivanalalusic2029
      @ivanalalusic2029 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      nadiam1389 i would never even consider putting any animal on mesh flooring! Just put some bedding or put them on solid floor, you will need to clean more but its so much better for their feet. Bumble foot is caused when an animal is constantly scraping its feet on usually wire or mesh and those scrapes invite bacteria which causes infection and swelling. TAKE THEM OFF OF THE MESH!!!!!!!!!!!

    I may have missed it in the video, and if so I apologize, but what is the spacing of the wire? The hardware cloth on the floor looks like 1/2" and the walls look 2", but I'd think they'd be able to escape through 2". I've never raised quail, so I don't know, but my chickens can get through some rather small spaces...

      @UrbanAviary  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for commenting! I will do a video in the near future on my breeding project, a produce all my birds on site. You can start with adults or buy day old chicks, you should be able to find both on Craig's list. And that sounds good in theory, however, quail have this natural habit of raking through their food to sift through it when eating. The feeder needs to be somewhat enclosed to keep as much feed as possible from spilling. An open feeder like that would give them more room to fling their feed all over. There's a spill free solution but it requires you to put the feeder inside the cage, which prevents you from maximizing the space for the birds. I appreciate the insight!

    • @williamjones6053
      @williamjones6053 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No more than 16 inches because quail are flighty birds and you risk scaring them and the break necks on top of cage when they fly ..

    • @williamjones6053

    Looks great!! Can't wait to set mine up as well. Do you find the one solid piece of wiring without a brace is strong enough to support the weight of the birds?

    • @UrbanAviary
      @UrbanAviary  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It certainly does, just make sure to put a staple at every other cross section of wire at least, if not every one. The problem I've found with the brace is that it creates a point of leverage for the wire mesh to bend and settle, thus creating a "pocket" on each side of the brace and the eggs have problems rolling all the way to the front. Those cages with the brace didn't have proper slope however. It may work OK with the brace and a solid piece of wire rather than a two piece design. Assuming it has sufficient slope.

      There are several things for constructing aviaries:
      Allow enough time.
      take advantage of ready made boat templates.

    Not bad. Except for the wasted food. Those waters get poop in them, they arent the best for quail. I have a system that keeps the water perfectly clean always, and never a drop wasted. Also a system for the food. Youre close with what you have, but with some slight modifications, you can have zero wasted food.

    • @UrbanAviary
      @UrbanAviary  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's the problem. You are feeding them 16-18 percent feed, they need a bare minimum of 24 percent, and 28 would be ideal. They have higher protein requirements than chickens.

    • @launnie-outdoor-items
      @launnie-outdoor-items 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think they meant verdic .
      An incubator must produce a humid environment as quail eggs are hard to break out of and the humidity softens the egg shell . Mine is 70% humidity and has an alarm if humidity falls - means more water in the water tray of incubator. Mine keeps the eggs at 37.8 degrees Celsius and turns the eggs.. One thing I had to add was an aluminum fly wire on top of the lower plastic tray with cable ties as the hatched chicks were falling into the water tray underneath or getting hit by the fan underneath and perishing.. You also need a brooding box that keeps the quails at 35 degrees Celsius
