Today we are sexing our youngest quail to see if we finally have all the breeders we need. Our goal is to have 18 females and 3 males. We also review all of our quail keeping supplies.

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

I live in far western Kentucky. 27 years ago we started raising Coturnix quail. We had about 500. A LOT OF EGGS! They make great deviled eggs and pickled eggs! We now raise 10,000 Bob White quail each year.

your feeding box with the holes to reduce waste is incredible. I raise chickens from egg to dinner/breeders and wasted feed is a real expensive problem and YOU HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM AND I THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for the glowing recommendation of my channel. A tip on the water when it is freezing, use a container similar to your feeder. It doesn't need to be as fancy but cut holes in the side of a Tupperware style container and they can get their heads in to get a drink but can't get in the water to fowl it up. Good luck on the birds you mixed in too. They tend to get aggressive when introduced to new birds and they can beat the tar of them. The most common issue is pecking the eyes. usually they work it out but sometimes you will lose a bird or two to overly aggressive hens.

My father would ALWAYS have a dozen or so quail running in our chicken pens, said they would 'clean up' the feed the chickens tossed out when eating. We did give the quail crumble food just for them in a small cage the chickens couldn't get into.
