I’ve been doing this for 6 months now and it has been very lucrative. I pull mine on day 13. I sell 18 count cartons for $10-12 double my eating eggs. I do special orders of 100-200eggs at a time to be picked up on day of completion. I have made some good connections at sushi bars.
Terry, I think you did a great job! Got the info I was looking for in your responses to other's questions. You are my go to for any questions on quail. I know you will say you don't know everything, but to me your experience speaks volumes! I'll be sure to email you with any questions I can't find the answers to in others comments. So far, I love ALL your videos! Keep up the great work!
I have known about balut and seen Asian/Fillipino eat them. Definitely not something I would do myself. My heart would get in the way. Now if someone wanted fertile eggs, they can do what they want with them. Thank you for sharin' Terry. :)
I enjoy your video's. I'm just getting started with quails. I have 14 eggs in the incubator now. Just wanted to know what to feed the babies, and how long til grown?
Hello Terry, really enjoy tour videos. We have started a kwale project at a children's home in Mexico and if copied a lot of your ideas. We have several quail cage is based on your plans. Really appreciate all your wisdom. When question where do you buy the plastic egg containers to sell the eggs? Thank you very much keep up the great work we enjoy learning from you.
I agree one hundred percent. I find them disgusting also but you're right understanding other cultures. Well done Terry although a demonstration of cooking and EATING would have been more entertaining. LOL.
I've eaten and enjoy duck balut. But I don't want tough feathers or bones. I definitely like them incubated fewer days. Sometimes in Asia the vendor will lie and sell you a 17 or 18 day balut and tell you it's 14 day. Not cool! Hehe... I still eat the white and yolk, but if the feathers are well formed I don't eat the chicks.
I learned about this living in vancouver BC; there's a belief that balut helps women during pregnancy, but it's kind of a hard sell to the women who didn't grow up with it ;)
Yep, I'm Asian and I think it's gross, but a lot of people seems think I'm missing out. 😆 🤣 can never bring myself to eat a developed egg. To each of their own.
I think the first time I heard of balut eggs was on amazing race when they had to eat them. I would have gagged. I am sure it is a great source of protein but there are feathers, beaks and bones. they had to eat duck eggs which are a lot bigger then quail eggs.
Not my thing, niether is eating raw monkey brains, but I respect the cultures. I'm sure we eat what seems just as disgusting in their eyes. Nice presentation.
Going against preferences? That's just what you prefer. If your culture BELIEVES that there is a wrongdoing going on then sure. But a jackass wouldnt know the difference.
How is this cruel? We eat the eggs and butcher these birds all the time, this is just an egg that’s further along than what you normally eat lol 😆 it’s boiled quail instead of fried or baked quail, it’s just a little younger. There is no pain involved at all so it’s not cruel. Maybe check yourself before being dramatic! Judging others isn’t something your qualified for; Untitled indeed!
@@MrsStevenBrown nope, I'm morally consistent. Butchering is even worse, and the egg industry subsidises the meat industry. And how do you know there's no pain involved?
@J J I can survive perfectly well without eating animal products. Animal agriculture causes suffering, and that suffering can be avoided by not participating in it. Why should something be required to die just so I can eat it, when I could eat things that can't suffer?

What are the state and federal regulations?
Nicely done! It's important to be understanding of different cultures even if it's not your cup of tea 🙂
Thank you

Hi Terry..
Can you show me how to check the eggs to see if they're alive or dead?
because quail egg shells are dark
Appreciate the education there are so many cultures to support
I have known about balut and seen Asian/Fillipino eat them. Definitely not something I would do myself. My heart would get in the way. Now if someone wanted fertile eggs, they can do what they want with them. Thank you for sharin' Terry. :)
How long do I have to keep a light on the chicks
Keep the light on until they are just about fully feathered out. Usually around 3 weeks.
I know this is an old video, but I'm curious about what quail you use for balut eggs. Are you raising Jumbo Corturnix?
You can pretty much use any variety to make balut, but larger eggs are preferred.
I enjoy your video's. I'm just getting started with quails. I have 14 eggs in the incubator now. Just wanted to know what to feed the babies, and how long til grown?
start with a higher protein chick or gamebird starter, and they make weight at about 8 - 10 weeks.

I purchase mine from Matt Heidrick out of Texas, you can find him on Facebook
Can you incubate the eggs from feeds-layering birds?
Hey Terry, how much do you get for a dozen balut eggs???
Usually around a $1.25 per egg
Very informative video. TY
Do you do shipping these?
Hi Terry I was just wondering how much do you get for your
How can you tell of the embryo has died in the egg?
I've seen this type of stuff on Bizarre Foods! Interesting!
Do they just boil the egg?
yes
How much do you get for them?
I agree one hundred percent. I find them disgusting also but you're right understanding other cultures. Well done Terry although a demonstration of cooking and EATING would have been more entertaining. LOL.
LOL, don't think I could stomach it :)
Lol, too funny!
What is a good price to sell these at thanks :)
I usually get $1.25 an egg, for smaller orders I charge $1.50 each because it ties up an incubator.

I heard the Filipino community loves them.
Another potential market!
@@CoturnixCorner I served overseas in the Navy, when I hear balut, I think of the phillipines.
I wonder if it's possible to make an ostrich balut... Searched the whole TH-cam and haven't found anything
That is more of a Asian and Filipino thing ,not to much in the Hispanic community. Thanks for the video
I have several hispanics that regularly buy balut.
@@CoturnixCorner I have Hispanics also asking me for balut. They are also very fond of quail eggs.
I learned about this living in vancouver BC; there's a belief that balut helps women during pregnancy, but it's kind of a hard sell to the women who didn't grow up with it ;)
Sure otherwise it could help them only with their throw up routine :D
Heck yea it’s really good
How do the feathers taste?
I've always wanted to try balut. Need to be a lot more confident in my candling techniques, first. Interesting about the marketing aspects!
Go for it!
Wow I’ve never heard of this.
How much do you get for your balut eggs
I charge $1.25 per egg, or $1 each when ordering 50 or more.
@@CoturnixCorner thanks Terry
Would you share how much you are selling per 24 case
$1.25 - $1.50 egg
Holy s#!%! I'm in!
Thanks
Haha, I've never heard about that in the Hispanic cultures, at least in Argentina where I'm living
14 days ia too develop already... Must pull them out between 12 - 13 days...
Yep, I'm Asian and I think it's gross, but a lot of people seems think I'm missing out. 😆 🤣 can never bring myself to eat a developed egg. To each of their own.

Profit vs humanely
Hello Terry. Do you have a email address we can communicate with you in? Have some questions I would like to run by you. That k you.

Yuck😟
That’s what I said 😀
Not my cup of tea 🤢
🤣😆🤣
I disagree with going against your own cultural preferences in order to make a buck.
Going against preferences? That's just what you prefer.

GROSS
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
This isn't just disgusting, it's utterly cruel and shameful.
Asian culture has no heart.
Go to Asia and fact check me. lol
