    Man I am really thinking about getting some quail. "Covert quiet quail" ... Our new neighbors already ratted us out to the HOA and had to get rid of our chickens that we have had for 3 years. Pretty sad when someone can't listen to a chicken in the morning, but I have to listen to their Chihuahua all day. God bless em

    I used to breed quails. I kept 64 quails in one huge cage ( 60 females and 4 males ) we had 99% fertility. I found out if you raise the temperature by 2 degrees during incubation you will get more females than males. I always ended up with 85-90 females out of 100 eggs.

    • @keerthykumar9781
      @keerthykumar9781 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't give wrong info. Temperature doesn't change the sex
      The experts suggest 4:1 or 5:1. 99% fertility is not possible over 15:1 ratio

      Kinda hard to believe? I tried to keep I male with 10 females! My hatch rate took big hit ?,so I put 2 males, as an experiment? Not good til I had 3male per 10 females then I had 97 % fertility rate ? Maybe y’all were given them 4 That purple pill

    Great little cage. Will you rotate out your breeders? How long would you keep a breeder before processing?
    Suggestions on your supports...
    1. Install at 45 degrees so poo can be scraped off easily from underneath
    2. Use pipe or even rebar instead of timber - set into a notch in the bottom frame. Can easily be turned for cleaning/scraping (pipe could be suspended on a screw in each end)
    It's so easy being an armchair expert!
    Good to see you had the scales there so you did not exceed your 10lb limit! - Just be careful and no 'twist and lift"

    I haven’t watched all the way through yet - I can say with my limited and new experience - they are worth it - we haven’t harvested one yet but in the past 6 weeks I have hatched out 38 quail. And still have plenty of eggs. I started with 6 females and 1 male, and a $50 incubator 8 weeks ago. My hatch rate is about 85%.
    They are such sweet easy to care for birds. I am looking forward to harvesting some soon. Love your videos!!!!

    Don't know if this will work but if you cut some pvc pipe to fit over the 2x2 supports you can remove the pvc pipe and wash it so you don't have to keep changing out 2x2's.

    I had a hell of a time keeping the 1/2x1/2 floor clean with my quail. I had an easier time with rabbit cage flooring and the heavier gauge is easier on their feet. I’m going to try raising them in a pen with shavings and see how I like that.

    Hi! It's me again. One does not need a log fire and cast iron pan to cook in the outdoors. You need to take an empty coffee can, and light a candle under it. Of course, poke holes for ventilation and cook right onto the top of the can. If necessary, you can use cleaned sticks as your cooking tools. Also, catch and eat snakes. They taste like chicken. As always, Chris Bitonti

  • @Mirinaya
    @Mirinaya 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Something you could try for when you need to swap out the floor cross-pieces is a tube or pipe instead. Then you can just clean them as you do the wire...
    Your nerdy farm math is always fun, and it helps me apply a more rational approach to my 'Ooh, shiny!' reaction to everything homesteading. (Much needed, since I have big dreams and relatively small space.) :)
    ETA: And I see I'm not the only one with the pipe idea. *laughs*

      Yeah I was thinking about that too. I don't believe they eat much, and can supplement a lot on garden/kitchen scraps like chickens. I'm assuming it's more economical to grow out quail, but I'd love to see the nerdy math on it too.

    • @chrisduty2886
      @chrisduty2886 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      They are messy eaters, but I figured mine, which where 14 onz to 1lb live weight ate about an onz of feed per day each. I fed 20% game bird feed that I bought in 50lb bags. that works out to .025 cents per onz, or 1.42 per eight weeks. But you may want to hedge that by 20%.
      My average wight bird was 15 onz live weight. or about 10 onz dressed which works out to 14 cents an onz. unless you bumped the feed up 20% then its 17 cents. I added a extra onz in for the feed momma used on egg day. YMMV this was my experience and smaller birds may eat just as much and larger bird may eat more, but they really dont come larger than 16 onz. Courtunix that is.

    I love my Coturnix quail. They are so much calmer, easier and faster to raise than bobwhite quail, which are the more popular quail to raise here in my part of Georgia. I had a hard time finding someone local with quail eggs for sale, but when I did, I was ecstatic. We have yet to finish our grow out pens, but that will be happening very soon, since I have quail eggs in the incubator now! We currently have 15 breeders, but I'm hoping to bump that up a bit with this hatch out, since there are a total of 10 people in our household. I'd love to have quail once a week... I guess I should do some nerdy quail math myself to figure out just how many breeders I'll need to make that happen! 😊

    Suggestion put foil around the cross supports that will protect them from rotting. Another suggestion is with a big cage like that is to build it with a slit across the top so you can slide a thin divider. That way when your ready to catch the birds you aren't chasing them from one end to the other.

    Thanks for sharing! This looks fairly easy to build with my limited carpentry skills.

    Very nice cage! I and my husband build cages and raise quail chickens turkeys and goats and variety or plants.
    Tip on the cage floor. Instead of having to change the wire several times u can use 1 x 1/2 for the floor it's more stable and lasts longer.

    you can reuse those cross pieces; keep one extra set; replace them and take the dirty set, hit them with a wire brush; soap and water and let them sit in the sun for a week;

    If you make a panel that fits inside the cage you can use it to make the pin shorter inside as when the birds are first put in and when you go to ketch them.

    Nice construction technique! As for letting them out...my idea is- I would take the whole setup outside, and sloooowwwwly turn it over so the top is down. that way, they can eat grass & bugs for a day, maybe 1x a week, & be protected. Move the cage around to different locations, maybe even the garden, so bigger animals, like a cat or dog, won't freak them out; they look kind of nervous. Worth a try? It's just a thought.

    You could also put some kind of plastic or cardboard on the support bars that can be easily removed and replaced since you didn’t put the staples in!

    If you put 2nd hand plastic totes underneath, they can collect the poop for the garden maybe? Not sure if that's a good idea or not.
