Quail are an amazing animal to add to your backyard. They are a great source of both eggs and meat. Throughout raising quail, I have learned so many interesting things and today I am talking about my top 7 learnings that I wish I knew before getting quail.

a good source of growing meat and having eggs. they are small enough for me, an older lady, to handle myself, and they don't need a lot of room. another plus is the rooster does not crow so loud as the chicken rooster.

When it comes to the noises they make, if they can be heard at all they could be mistaken for some uppity or annoying squirrels if the person hearing them is not knowledgeable about Quails. And even then they're hardly as uniquely jarring as a rooster crow or even a chicken bawk so it never sounds out of place even amongst all the "Nature" sounds we've heard for years where we are. One of the things I also love about Quail is just how incapable of hurting you they are. They will never attempt to attack you, and even the most depserate struggle to get out of your grip gets barely more than the top layer of skin scratched, if you are unlucky. They are astonishingly timid and weak little birds, not even counting when comparing to chicken which can be vicious and quite painful if handled incorrectly.

Do you need to have a slanted floor to roll out the eggs? Will the step on them and break them with a level floor or is it more for convenience?

🐦interesting. I am seriously considering getting some quail for the eggs. I hope they still lay after 2 years. Even if it is not as often that is fine as I plan to have several females. Heidi

Got my subscribe. Got 4 quail today . Don’t know the gender. But hopefully tomorrow I can find out . Wanting to get an incubator if I have a male and females to hatch more

@splitarrowfarm 4 ай бұрын

Yes! We incubate our own and it’s so easy and fun!

@johnxporter 10 ай бұрын

Do you have any incubators that you would recommend that’s cheaper but works well, I don’t need an incubator since I have chickens and ducks that will sit on eggs but I need something just for quail.

Good question, we haven’t actually done too much introduction of new quail yet but something I would love to learn and share more about

@@splitarrowfarm I am currently going through the process. The lady I got my quail from told me to put 1 at a time into the cage at night so they get used to each other's smell. My females off-ed my first male so... we had to get a new guy.
