Just want to say thank you Mark. I've just started incubating quail and thanks to your advice, we've had our first hatch, 8 out of 12. We run a Forest School over here in England, and we're teaching our children about the natural world, growing food, wildlife and caring for animals, and the environment. I love your tips and tricks, we are regular viewers of your videos. Thank you! Janie 🌳🍀🌳

What a trippy experience going back to old videos. So different but always educational. Thank you.

this is one of the best vids on quail ive seen

We now have quail because of your videos, thank you for the excellent information.

I'm glad I found your channel, I'm getting a few quail in the next few weeks

I am so glad you made this video. I have common brown outside right now, but my incubator is full of a mixture of colors I ordered online so I’m excited to see what colors I get!!

Interesting to know the different types of quail. Cheers!

Winner of a video, I have been researching "how to raise a baby quail" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is a good exclusive product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.

Thanks for sharing! I can tell your quail are happy and healthy. I'm getting ready to start my first flock. I decided to go with an avairy setup similar to yours.

Good-day Thank you for being real about showing us your operation. We are doing our best to up grade but it takes time and our setup looks a lot the same in the chicken yard.

Thank you. Answered or pointed out where to find the answers to all my questions.👍🏽

This is such a beautiful video. Really helped me learn more about my quail. Big fan

Here in hawaii i been seeing the ones like you 1st showed. This whole time i never knew what they were. They look like chickens mixed with ducks lol. Now i know what they are, never knew hawaii had quail’s. Thnx for the video. Aloha from hawaii🤙🏽

Ive been kicking around the idea of racing quail for meat and eggs. We've had rabbits and chickens for some time. Yesterday I went to a small animal swap sponsored by our local livestock auction and animal feed store and bought 10 tuxedo coturnix quail chicks. I've gotta build em a cage and do some more studying on it. Hopefully itll prosper. Thank you for sharing,your quail are beautiful.

Great video you have a lot of knowledge about quails Thank you

Your videos make me want to find me a home to make a raised garden and breed some quail.

I'm contemplating raising quail for meat and eggs, and am just starting my research to see if this is worthwhile as part of my homestead. I have four laying chicken hens, just enough to keep us in eggs, but I don't want to eat them. I'm thinking quail would be a simple addition and fun to try. I'm in East Texas and am delighted to hear that Texas A&M University developed a large quail breed for us.Their reputation in animal breeding is world class! I can't wait to hear from the supplier, as they are currently out of stock.

Currently have 10 English Whites/Texas A & Ms, and 7 mixed in a brooster. There's 1 or 2 Tibetans there and what I believe, 3 silvers. First time hatching for myself and I'm captivated by the hobby. I'm not sure I'll be able to eat any of them though, maybe just egg production from these girls. And maybe some fertile ones to hatch out some for future stock.

Worth watching!! thanks mark!

Beautiful birds, Mark. Mine are a native wild breed Northern Bobwhites. They are a year old this month and have only been laying eggs for a few weeks not. The eggs are pure white but just has hard the crack, I bought one of those sizer like things and that works quite well.

It's good to see how well your quail do on the ground as opposed to the more common raised wire cages. The argument that they just foul everything up seems to be taken care of by the space they have. Do you get many snakes popping by for a snack - that would be my main concern with having them on the ground in Oz?

You do have to dig down a bit to make this work though. I’ve also heard of others digging down a foot or so, putting in the mesh, and then concreting it in.

Quail is the best small pet for me now. I had diff animals but quail is cool. Pettable, cute, can live in and out, can produce eggs, and when the crisis strikes you can raise them for meat too. But they are great even just with eggs and their cuteness. I have all possible quail colours, and also Chinese quail. These are even cuter and their eggs eaten raw are great for health. The Chinese quail are as small as a canary ;) and their eggs like 1/3 of your finger. Feel encouraged! Peace from Poland!

Besides the colour, what are the main differences between the most popular kinds of quails? Size? Weight?

Hi Mark. I have a little quail that went broody. I keep them in my yard which is screened in and the quails basically roam free. My broody quail made a nest under a fire bush . I tried moving her nest into a cage for fear that a rodent might try to hurt her or eat the eggs but the quail did not like that, so I put the nest back. My question is, once the birds hatch, should I move them and the mom to a safer cage or leave them be? I have noticed rodent droppings lately and it's making me quite nervous. Pls help

I’ve got fawn,Italian and a jumbo golden

Hi mate I like your video about quails.i have a question about quails vacation do the baby quails need vacation?if yes plz tell us vacation name and time period will be thankful to you .

I’ve been watching your videos for roughly a couple of years now mark, and I must apologise I’ve only just been watching your quail videos just recently! I do have a question how ever and I know you are very busy so I won’t be hurt if you don’t get to answering it, but when it comes to quail the 2 types I know of are king quail and the jap quail. I have jap quail, which I plan on farming for eggs and meat, but I was wondering can you do the same with king quail and what is the difference between the two other then size? Kind regards ~ your fan from Clunes, Victoria - Sebastian

I’ve heard of the jumbos. Would anyone know about them. I’m building a 4.5’ X 8.5 coop with a 9’ x 4’ run attached to it. I’ve got my eyes set on Jumbo quails because they’re slightly larger. Is it jumbo browns or coutux.. or jumbo something else? Thanks in advance

From what I have read they are sex linked, however her's have offspring of even white birds looking like Texas A&M. Does that mean her orginal group was of mixed breed? I read Japanese quail are a species of its own, I guess its important to add she purchased her first eggs off ebay, but sold as solid Japanese Quail.

+Allotment Grow How Hey Adam, yes mate we eat the eggs and birds although I do prefer chicken eggs over quail eggs. An adult bird sells for about $7 (AU) but if I need to refresh my stock I'll save our own or buy fertile eggs for about $5 a dozen incubate them and in 18 days I have heaps of quail chicks running around! They are the fastest maturing poultry breed on earth going from chick to adult in just 6 weeks and are usually eaten at week 9. For self-sufficiency purposes keeping quail is pretty frugal because pound of flesh for amount of feed they eat is extremely economical compared to most other animals. Cheers :)

Do you eat your eggs too. When I get tired of hatching, I start eating.
