@@UrbanAviary Ordered 12 jumbo coturnix from Amazon shipped by La Bella in TN. Sent 18, yielded 5. I'm always looking at their habitat monitoring heat lamp temp.

I've just got started and enjoying my corturnix quail raising. I have over 200 right, adults and young ones.

Excellent video, than,K's

Quails make good pets, plus their is a return for your investment which isn't the case with the majority of other animals that are used as pets.. it just makes sense!

They do make great pets! They’re actually very smart and sweet. I use to have one as a pet and she would always come running over to me and jump up into my arms to be held and pet. Her eggs were fantastic too haha.

Do you have some good recipes for quail? My quail are over eight weeks old now ( Bobwhite ) so it's about time for some of them to hit the grill.

Stuff with Jalepenos and/or apples, wrap in bacon and cook on the grill.

Are quails yummy?

I like out of sight idea, small easy set up and relatively clean birds. I'm in Northern Ontario Canada, do you recommend where to start looking for a reputable dealer? thank you

I would start by looking for anyone in your area that is involved in falconry. If you can find someone in your area that is involved in raising and training raptors, they will usually know somebody that raises quail. if not, they will be able to direct you to someone that does know. You can also contact the zoo and ask to speak to whoever is in charge of ordering food for their raptors. Sometimes they have quail shipped in Frozen, but if they can get it locally they often do. I would check Facebook and any other resources you can think of to try and find falconers in your area as a first step though.

Thanks for the info man, I'm about to start raising quail for meat and eggs.. though.. duck eggs are the best! lol

Hi, would you be able to talk about grit use for quail?

@UrbanAviary

7 жыл бұрын

If they're eating a mash then it's not necessary. Grit is for birds eating while seeds and other things that require grinding before digestion. Most feeds are already ground up so it's not necessary

If you need a grit get course sand or chick (baby chicken) grit.

Same feed as the adults, a turkey starter mash or game bird starter mash.

You were not lying about being the chocolate of eggs!

I hate the very idea of a h.o.a. I'm glad we don't have one where I live, which is WHY I l live there, one of the reasons, anyway.

Hello Jaren, I just came upon your channel by luck in a search, I love quail especially the Bobwhite I am disappointed with their slow growth and maturity rate as you mentioned. I currently have various breeds of chickens I wanted to raise for profit but they are they same situation. I've considered the coturnix before but wasn't sure if they provided as much meat per bird as the bobwhite. This was an excellent video! Congrats to you sir on such a fine job. I gave a thumbs up and have subscribed. And now going to watch some more of your videos. I am seriously wanting to get going on this so if I run into a snag or something I hope you don't mind me shooting you an email.thank you very much. Martin Ratliff in Central Fl.

My dad and I used to hunt bobwhites decades ago. Do the Coturnix taste similar to the bobwhite? @@UrbanAviary

@UrbanAviary

5 жыл бұрын

Never had bobwhite, but I imagine it's similar. Bobwhites eat a different diet so they might be "gamier" tasting, but I don't see that as a downside.

Hey you mentioned that if the town states that you can't have poultry that you probly couldn't do quail but quail aren't considerd as poultry there a game bird so as long as it doesn't say anything about game birds your good that's why in most states like mine you need a game bird propagation license to sell Quail or quail eggs

@UrbanAviary

True, it all depends on how your state classifies them. My state doesn't classify them as game birds OR poultry.

Why do quail and chickens lay eggs 3-7x a week whereas other birds only lay half a dozen eggs in the spring?

@UrbanAviary

7 жыл бұрын

I believe it's just selective breeding for such a long period of time. Birds that lay that often were specifically bred to be egg production birds.

@cloakanddagger1

quail and chickens off-spring do not need to be feed every three hours by their parents for several weeks. Once born they get on their feet and start walking around after 30 minutes and eat and drink by themselves. I have both quail and budgies and the budgies lay 6 eggs where the quail laid about 24 eggs It is tiring for the parent budgies and they really need a 2 month rest after raising their young to recover by removing their breeding boxes after breeding / raising their young.
