- Finding out if Quail are Male or Female isn't hard...but it sure is Weird! Quail are our smallest homestead animal and they have been a joy since hatching day! We get asked frequently why we choose to raise quail. Half of the reason we raise them is for meat...the other half is we enjoy their beautiful eggs. We hope to have that perfect ratio of males to females in our Pharoah/Coturnix quail covey. Raising quail brings us one step closer to the self sufficient life style we are working towards!
Thank you for all of your support and for being part of our channel!

🐐 🐓 🐥 🌻 ABOUT US 🌽 🐏 🦆 🐷
We have 4 kids and a 5 acre farm here in Northern California. We have made a commitment to learning how to raise our own food, as fast as we can, in the most fun way possible. This is a journey of us learning how to provide more for ourselves.

Nice work y’all. Our friends over at Empty Pockets Farm on IG got Georgia quail not knowing it takes them like 6 months to lay instead of 6 - 8 weeks like coturnix quail. The coturnix you can also tell by their chest. Speckled (black) chest female. Solid (copperish color) male. Love quail!
So this is a coturnix crossed with a pharaoh quail. Some of the males are very speckled..but our prettiest females is speckled too😕🤷♂️. The vent checking isnt even really bad. We got 4 males...so now the taste test 😊.
@@4KidsandaFarm Interesting! I was told coturnix quail and pharaoh quail were the same thing. 🤔 And never knew it took some much longer to lay until they told me that. Always learning! 👍🏻👊🏻
@@WalkerFarmFam there are many variations of colors of the coturnix quail, some can be feather sexed and some cannot. the Jumbo Wild coturnix like we have can be feather sexed like you said about.
@@HisWayHomestead Yeah for sure. Always learning and always researching 👍🏻👊🏻
Rachel, you are a fantastic mother for being so gentle and encouraging your children to be involved in all of your farm activities. Great video and blessings to all...
Love Walker Farm Fam! Rachel you look way to chic to be doing chores. The kids are really great helpers especially moving those big bales. Impressive. Aaron thanks for explaining the coloring aspect of the quail.
We absolutely love the walkers! They are such a great family!
Great video. So cute watching the kids help with the finding the girls
You are so kind Terri...our kids love farming so we love to involve them it it all the way.
Rachel, you are so gentle and encouraging with your children as you involve then in quail activities. Your kids are so interested in what is happening on your farm because you and Aaron are so positive with each of your children.
Loved the kids reaction on telling if male or female
love this family!!! you all are great!!!
aww, shucks...thanks man.
I love eating quail. They taste so good but so little. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Oh we can’t wait for that taste test! Thanks 🥰
Quail, like chickens need about 16 hours of light to lay. I added a string of warm spectrum rope light to my coop and my chickens and quail have been laying really well. And it looks pretty inside too 🙂
Great Idea! We can't wait for another round of hatching! so we need them to start pumping out those eggs.
Are clams happy? :) I am sure you animals are happy you got them food. I thought you could tell by the stripe or freckles on their chest. Clear chest female, was males chest not clear?
Some we can...this is a quail that has been crossed for its eggs so the feather pattern doesn’t breed true.
I think the second one was a male for sure... chest was reddish feathers without speckles
NY Coturnix has shown some simple, good recipes on his channel for quail. It's a small channel, but I really enjoy him. If you like him, maybe subscribe and help him get monetized. 😉
Right on! We will check him out. Thanks for
Comment and the tip!
So my husband and kids love to eat quail, I really like the cage you built for them. My only advice is to only have 1 male in there because they will continue to peck each other’s eyes out and they will start scalping the females, atleast that’s what happened with mine when I had to many boys with the girls. They’re super easy to process and cook.
Thanks for the tips! we gave heard the same...animals can be brutal! We will cull the males probably next week.
the amount of daylight greatly affects the laying of birds...
Hmm seems like you guys should have bought them dinner before checking them out. Lol I have bob white. Coturnix and texas a&m the first 2 are easy peasy the texas a&m are difficult.
Lol! We buy them dinner every day! 😂 it is a bit invasive but the only way with this cross. We actually caught a few of them crowing so didn’t have to check them at all. How do you like your Texas A and M quail...we looked at those but wanted the blue colored eggs from the pharaoh/coturnix cross.
@@4KidsandaFarm I'm on my second batch... they are less skittish than the coturnix and way less than the bob white. Good layers.
How much do quail weigh at maturity?
Anywhere from 8 oz to 1 pound...1 pound would be big 😟
A comment for the algorithm.
Thanks so much Carol! We appreciate your support! 😊
We love quail breast, most people could eat at least 3 to 5 per person per meal. Taste like chicken..lol
We need to raise more quail 😂
just don't leave the door open.... ;-)
oh man, that was the worst lesson!
Interesting way to gender reveal.
Yes! It is weird but it is the way! 😂🤷♂️
