Quail Farming

Features: Arnie & Shirley Morris and their large Quail egg laying operation near Ardrossan, Alberta. At the time of our visit in 2012 they had nearly 12,000 birds on the farm which allowed them to ship about 250,000 eggs weekly. The egg yoke of a Quail egg is actually bigger than the whites. The shell is harder than a chicken egg shell and you have to use a serrated knife to cut them open. They also operate a hatchery and incubator on the farm.

those quails are NOT rare I dont know what theyre saying. Coturnix quail are actually the MOST common quail breed out there.

They might've been rare for his area at the time or he was just ignorant, irregardless, the person that he sourced them from probably upsold him one of those premises. Coturnix quail are by far the most farmed species around the world now.

Maybe he just wants to put more value and increase the prices of his quails. Pricing strategy.
When I was a just a boy, it was common to run across a large covey of quail here in the south. Usually in a field, they would burst from cover, and your heart would almost leap from your chest. In the spring you could hear them calling all over the place, with the unmistakable bob-white. The last covey I saw here, was more than twenty yrs ago.. and they no longer sing.
I like raising them on our Homestead! Good video!
Coturnix quail aren’t a rare breed to find. They’re very common and kept by most .

Seriously, you can find these guys within 30miles of you on craigslist. They are just very easy to breed, and you really only need a single mating pair to get started and then a new male every year. He likely has a larger number of males to that keep diversity up.
I have watched this video many times & I loved it very much. A project like this is a dream for me and I want to materialize it soon

I have two pet coturnix quails and they are the sweetest little creatures. I couldn't imagine them living in battery cages like this and I'm so glad I was able to save them from such a horrible life.

Perhaps not, but that doesn't stop them from being miserable. It's like putting a dog in a small kennel as a puppy and leaving it there it's whole life, never letting it out, never interacting with it, never giving it anything to play with. Sure, the dog's been in the cage it's entire life and doesn't know any different, but would you think it's happy living like that?

The quail sit on an angled floor, so the eggs roll forward onto a conveyor belt. I would like to point out that an angled wire floor can cause foot and hip issues for the bird, and living like this is very far from anything natural. Some more space, natural light and a a sand bath would go a long way to improve their life. Unfortunately that is more work thus less profitable.
These are salad bar item in restaurants although you might consume them at the main course. They are to be served boiled and peeled off. There used to be a myth these eggs were afrodisíac, again a myth. They are a great compliment just as mushrooms on one’s salad. The great thing about these eggs is that you do not need to grow them as schlock chicken farms with antibiotics and hormones , so they are supposed to be a healthy snack.
Yaaa that's high quality thinking
Love quail eggs.

Many places sell them now. I just started raising some for myself this year. So far I have only eaten one egg. Given some away and pickled 4 dozen that will be ready to eat in a couple weeks. Lots off eggs for sale on eBay and form other places. I wouldn't call them rare.

The quail eggs are small but tasty. The quail meat is great if you marinate for 30 minutes before grilling.
its an old video i know but Im down in the east coast Canada ive had coturnix for a year and they are sort of rare I mean the brown coturnix is a common color but I have to drive 2 hours to get my starter chicks and since im close to a city im surprised how many people want quail and eggs and bird. you can keep some in your apartment in a rabbit cage because they are "game birds" they have different regulations then say chickens or other poultry.
That breed is not rare its actually the more common breed of quail you can order fertile hatching eggs off ebay
can anyone tell me where i can find this kind of battery cage please

Quail's expensive too it's like anywhere from $2 to $7 an ounce of course the biggest quail you can raise only gets up to 14 ounces and that's for the jumbo quail.
where can i find a quall farm in MD or close by, i'm looking to buy in quantity and on a regular basis
Not very fair to keep them in tight cages with their eggs on a conveyor belt but whatever makes you more money I guess

@Kayuu7
5 жыл бұрын
the birds don't necessarily need sunlight if they are raised in buildings, there are many lights that mimic the light waves for daylight that have the correct spectrums etc etc. Think of a grow bulb for plants that don't get enough sun, its the same thing for the birds. To lay eggs the lights must be provided with 14 to 16 hours of daylight otherwise the birds wont lay.
