We LOVE the flavor of the quail meat. Our experience in eating quail was several years ago (we lived in town then). We bought a box of 12 frozen quail at H‑E‑B and grilled them. We all sat around the table amazed at the delicious flavor without any seasoning or marinade or anything. Years later,..here we are in the country and adding quail to our little farm. A&M XXL’s and a few Chinese Painted Quail(adorable)just for my personal pets. I bought an incubator and hatched all mine myself. Hatch Day is like Christmas EVERY TIME. Thank You for your informative video!!
9:47 That is genius! I hadn’t even considered this option till now and it’s the answer to my current “problem” of where I’m going to put them. Thanks you so much for this detailed video! ❤
a good source of growing meat and having eggs. they are small enough for me, an older lady, to handle myself, and they don't need a lot of room. another plus is the rooster does not crow so loud as the chicken rooster.
When it comes to the noises they make, if they can be heard at all they could be mistaken for some uppity or annoying squirrels if the person hearing them is not knowledgeable about Quails. And even then they're hardly as uniquely jarring as a rooster crow or even a chicken bawk so it never sounds out of place even amongst all the "Nature" sounds we've heard for years where we are. One of the things I also love about Quail is just how incapable of hurting you they are. They will never attempt to attack you, and even the most depserate struggle to get out of your grip gets barely more than the top layer of skin scratched, if you are unlucky. They are astonishingly timid and weak little birds, not even counting when comparing to chicken which can be vicious and quite painful if handled incorrectly.
🐦interesting. I am seriously considering getting some quail for the eggs. I hope they still lay after 2 years. Even if it is not as often that is fine as I plan to have several females. Heidi
Got my subscribe. Got 4 quail today . Don’t know the gender. But hopefully tomorrow I can find out . Wanting to get an incubator if I have a male and females to hatch more
@@splitarrowfarm I am currently going through the process. The lady I got my quail from told me to put 1 at a time into the cage at night so they get used to each other's smell. My females off-ed my first male so... we had to get a new guy.
Do you have any incubators that you would recommend that’s cheaper but works well, I don’t need an incubator since I have chickens and ducks that will sit on eggs but I need something just for quail.

All very true!
Yes! It’s a plus so sure.
But they do crow... at 5 weeks... and if you have 50 or so of them, it gets loud... really, really loud... and with that many it's constant 😅
Thanks for the information
I love watching your videos! They have been very helpful in starting with quails
Glad you like them!

Love it and great details !
Some males will definitely try to peck you.

Yes! We incubate our own and it’s so easy and fun!
Do you need to have a slanted floor to roll out the eggs? Will the step on them and break them with a level floor or is it more for convenience?
I’ve never had sloped floor, never had a cracked egg either. 😊
How do you introduce new quail to existing quail? Night time like chickens?
Good question, we haven’t actually done too much introduction of new quail yet but something I would love to learn and share more about

naybe you could try keeping the new ones in a small cage inside of the bigger cage?
Actually quail eggs have more Nutrition value.
True!

This is our favorite incubator: amzn.to/47LS6Bv
Son muy buenas aves
Yes they are great!
Are there any large scale quail businesses?
Yup, Myshire Farm in Ohio. They have a website and a TH-cam channel.
Having the quails above the chickens will save on feed, but what about the poop.
Live in Ghana with a acres of land. Could you partner me to raise quail? Thanks
🐦Good info thanks for sharing, Sub'd.

No bird emoji sorry.. I refuse to pay for anything that won't feed me my dogs or other animals.
Haha
It gives you eggs to eat and you can harvest the birds?
Spoke for more than 10 mins straight and said a whole lot of nothing
I bet you're fun to be around. 🙄
