Mine like cantaloupe and watermelon, if you haven’t tried that with your quail. I have Bob White quail also and I have the pearl fee . I love the pearl fee they look like snow birds .lol
Oh my word! I have to try that! Currently we don’t have them, we are looking to relocate! :) keep us in prayer but once we do and get more quail I’ll have to try
Yes, the natural enclosures are the way to go. I have been watching Nancy Tanners channel and she too has her flock in a natural enclosure. Do you butcher yours or are they only for eggs?
I currently keep my quail in a hutch but I'm thinking about moving them to a ground set up. I've heard that they are likely to get worms that way. Have you had any problems with this?
I have my quail on the ground too in a similar set up and I love it EXCEPT when it rains and the ground gets wet it starts to smell like ammonia. When it's just one day it's fine but multiple days in a row 🥴 do you ever have this problem if so how do you combat the smell?
@@JesusLovingHomesteader I'll have to try that. I use mulch for the chickens and it's great I havnt come across anyone using it for quail though so I wasn't sure it was safe for them
Very fascinating. I would have never thought these birds were practical to keep. I have learned a lot from your channel.
Thank you! They are so cute 😂. Very simple to process, but also super cute and lay LOTS of eggs
Enfin une vidéo qui ne fait pas les louanges de l'élevage en clapier à 60 oiseaux par m2!! Merci! 😊
very nice. they are a lot quieter than chickens and take up a lot less room. thanks for sharing..
They definitely are a great option for small yard! So simple to raise
Great coop! I’m doing a pretty big coop/aviary for my quail! Eggs will be shipped tomorrow! Miss me luck ❤️
That’s exciting!!
The oregano is pure genius! I will be adding them to my hutch. I need the rain to stop so I can go work on it more!
We are getting rain as well! But we needed it SO BAD

We butchered because we have eggs from the chickens, and ducks
So then the question...do they taste more like chicken or duck?@@JesusLovingHomesteader
@@Chickenfoothomestead Definitely Chicken! I have a reel of me bartering and frying them
Awesome, thank you!@@JesusLovingHomesteader

We never had that issue at all.
Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome

I don’t, I actually have a deep mulch method. The Quail are on a mulch bedding. We cleaned it once a month.

Do you have to deworm them since they are on the foraging on the ground
I’ve never had issues! We no longer raise Quail though. The eggs weren’t worth it to me, since we had turkeys and chickens
How you clean their poop?
You put them in a bin, every few months, shovel out the old mulch/pine shavings, and add fresh .
Love your set up. What is the dimensions? Looks like a great size
