Coturnix Quail, also known as Japanese Quail, are perfect homestead birds. Why? Because they're cheap and easy to keep, hardy against illness, give you both meat and eggs, and can be kept in a relatively small space. In this video, I'll go over my 6 reasons to keep quail - even if you don't have a garden at all!

    I raise two Bobwhite quail. I’m never, EVER going to butcher them. When I saw in the comments about you talking about butchering them, I was like “nope, not gonna butcher them...EVER!” They are too cute. I’m gonna raise more next year (2019). My male Bobwhite, Peep, almost drowned when he was only a couple of minutes (or hours) old. He had a rough start, but survived. Re-Peep (female), on the other hand, had more of a “less rough” start.

When you get it in a package skinned ,boned, and ready to cook we tend to forget that it was a living thing. I'm not against eating meat I eat meat, but I can't help but think we've become a bit to detached and spoiled from the process. Just my opinion.

    I'm a quail raiser too. I have two major drawbacks with them: that they are so cute which makes them hard to kill and you have to incubate the eggs because they won't do it themselves. I'm thinking about shoving some eggs under a broody chicken to see how they go.

    we do natural hatches - have to bring the brooding quail hen into the house and keep her crate warm - we leave her with them till they can join the covey in the flypen outside - feed a lot of ground hard boiled egg - they need intense protein - brooding hen needs it to regrow the feathers they chew off her belie before they start eating feed and seed - we find naturally brooded birds make better brooding hens and stronger male fliers for pointer training

    So Ive kept chickens in the past with the long term to breed them and eat them. Never happened because I became too attached to them. My roo one day got ill (then passed) and I was left with a hen, so I introduced her to my friends flock and she continues to live her life. I still eat chicken from the butchers but I couldnt get over the idea of eating my own. I then kept rabbits because Ive never personally had any attachment to them but Ive fallen in love with them as well... They are still living and will live out their lives with no intention of being eaten. I *may* try out the quail since I have a spare hutch laying around. ^~^

    I'd love to live off the land and intend to buy land , self-sustaining for home and land. Deer, rabbits, turkey, chickens, goats. ...never farmed beforee, though did grow up close to country. I need a man to do it. I just cannot. I'm a tomboy. I went deer hunting as young adult with boyfriend, thinking I could do it, as if for meat, it's natral. To sit and wait to kill an animal is NOT for me. My neigbhor killed rabbits in his yard. Rabbit is VERY expensive. I ate it growing up from my Dad bringing it in on specail occasion. It's delicious. I told my neighbor next time he killed one, I'd take it to skin it, to feed to my cat. So, he called to tell me when he got one. Couldn't do it!!!! No way. That's the last time I've ever considered thinking I could kill an animal or handle the "preparation" to meat ready for cooking. NO WAY. Maybe if I were starving and had no other way to survive. Then, many years later, I bought a rabbit for my cat, intending to switch to raw diet with meat he wouldn't be allergic too. They sold it as the whole and skinned frozen animal! It was hard to even buy it. I took a little meat off for my cat and ended up not going back to it, putting back in the freezer. I tossed it a few months later. I think it was like $18 /lb ten yhears ago. I couldn't handle seeing the rabbit skinned and frozen or handling that full animal! Somehow, I'll have to make a deal for men to shoot and prepare the deer, turkey, etc. The goats will be for milking. The quails sound fun and beautiful to have. No way I'd eat one now that I see how precious they are. I'd love to have their pretty eggs for cooking and hatch quails to sell. Men shoot and prepare, I'll cook, garden, and feed the animals...clean cages, but no killing or skinning and cutting carcasses for me. . :)

    Hi Geoff. I've been an avid viewer for a couple of years now. In fact I don't know if I ever said to you but it was your channel that gave me the push to start a channel of my own - so a big thanks for that. I now have 12 Coturnix quail, which I keep as pets and for eggs. As you say - they are great to keep. I have kept chickens for a good few years now too. 2022 is the year we move home to somewhere with more outside space - not on the scale of what you have but it is exciting nevertheless. Thanks for being inspiring. Hope your Xmas was great and have a happy healthy and peaceful New Year. Mags

    Firs of all i would like to congrats you about your channel! i found it a couple of days ago and i really enjoy your videos. on the quails, ive been raising quails since 2006(common coturnix and some italian(golden color)) and ive first bought brown jumbos in 2014, i really enjoy watching them feed,sandbath, sing..its like a small comunity, they provide me with eggs and meat and i try to make their living as comfortable and fun as i can. Yesterday i ordered some Texas A&M jumbo eggs to incubate so i can have another"variety" in my collection. Keep up the good work!!(i also have many chickens, which i ll comment on enother video)

    I have some friends that want to keep chickens, but because they only have a small courtyard for a garden they can't. I have recommended quails to them as you really don't need much room at all, and their behaviour is almost identical, except in miniature! Super underrated birds. If you know how to look after chickens, you will know how to look after quails. I think people are reluctant to keep them because they think they are delicate and high maintenance, probably due to the price of them in restaurants.

    mayamachine I use my birds for meat and eggs. I usually eat excess male birds. Pigeons and quail are the easiest but then I love all of my birds so caring for them isn't really a burden. I am 69 years old and working hard is good for me. Bags of grains each weigh 50lbs. I mix my own feed including growing huge quantities of mealworms to add protein to the feed. "Bugs" keep birds healthy. My birds do not get soy and only organic cracked corn in the scratch. All the grains I use are organic. I have added quail since my post. Incidentally, pigeons are incredibly easy. I let them out each morning and they fly around all day. In the evening they return to roost. I get eggs and meat for hardly any feed. Pigeons are great if you can let them "free range." Only my quail don't get to fly around.
