+Harlo Condo Harlow that is a very good question what we do is we have a spot at the end of our pens, and we slowly walk all the quail to one end and there's a small door open with a catch cage and what they will do is they will go through the small hole into the cage and then you close the door and you're able to count them out. We having some cases used a net before but what happens is you get the birds all flying around and then the feathers get messed up in some commercial hunting preserves don't like that for their customers. That's a very good question and I think I will go ahead and do a video on how we do that that way you can better see how we collect our Quail for customers Be watching for it.

So the only sure way to hatch them out is with an incubator If I can answer a more specific question please let me know and thank you for taking the time to watch our videos

Are you still raising the Tibetan quails for hunting? Do they still fly decent. I'm torn between bobwhites and Tibetan. I've raised a lot of coturnix for meat and eggs so I am familiar with them. I would prefer the faster turnaround of the Tibetan as long as they fly decent. Thanks...

@theoutdoorsportsmen

We like the Tibetan or the Conturnx quail better because they are more disease tolerant than bobwhite quail however I think dogs can send bobwhite quail better. We do have a lot of customers that prefer the Tibetans or Conturnx quail for dog training because they're a little less money and there a little stronger bird

Of course every farm cat is different but can I have quail go out and forage with being taken out by cats or will they be just small enough to be considered fair game by the cat. With a momma around our ducklings and chicks are fine. Will a medium quail chick be alright?

Jerry thank you for your question In my opinion it is a cats nature to prey on birds and a quail is no different. I don't think the quail would work out very well on its own. Your ducks have the mother to protect them and quail really more or less are on their own. Not sure if I answered your question or not if not let me know and will try to engage further with it Thanks Jim

theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors we have a small poultry farm (400 chickens or so) and while we are up in the mountians so salt water isnt an issue.... big predators ARE. We have to make our enclosures tough enough to deal with the weather and predators. Our best solution for ground predators is electric mesh fencing which is hooked up to a cattle charger. Works well most of the time. We pasture raise so we also have a MAJOR problem with air based predators (mostly red tails and bald eagles). We are looking into quail to diversify out farm. Ive had quite a few requests not only for eggs but also meat and hunting birds. We use a certified organic non gmo feed we ship in from a mill in state. they make a chick feed thats ground pretty fine... would quail be able to eat that or do they need a special feed?

@theoutdoorsportsmen

7 жыл бұрын

+theoutdoorsportsmen / Carolina Outdoors most of our Predator issues here are feral cats and stray dogs or wild dogs we've had to do the electric fence also and we've also had to take other measures as far as the food goes we feed our Quail as chicks a chick starter the same as you would for small chickens or small chicks and that works really well for them as they get older we change over to a game bird feed which has Milo in it and sunflower seeds and crack corn and they really like that. You can find it at most any Farm Supply. Just remember when they are chicks and you changing their diet around to do it gradually. One reason we change them from the chick starter or grower feed to the game bird feed is it is about half the price and with as many birds as we raise through the year it helps cut the cost and they do seem to prefer it more. thank you for your comments by the way I really enjoyed talking to you from Washington State and I appreciate you taking a look at our videos.

young rats can get through chicken-wire mesh - need 1/4" to keep them out - more critical to keep them out of the brooding house - but they will attack adult quail - may not kill but can injure them - sheet metal around base is important if using this chicken wire mesh - some ground predators (cats for example) will cruise along the edges, reach in, snag them with a claw and literally pull them through - like the landscaping - we do that too - as natural as possible - wire mesh floor is bad for their feet - we don't release ours (Coturnix Pharaoh Quail ), just flag them and use them for pointer training - flags help in finding them after flushing and blanking - thanks for the info
