My cat-children encouraged me to watch this video. They all sat at rapt attention in front of the monitor watching the birds. I'm sure there were no dastardly thoughts in their little cat brains. Positive. Ayup. Little angels, they are.

I've just started on my quail journey. Hatched some jumbo's which are now 3 weeks old. They are lovely birds.

I can’t wait to see your quail adventures ❤️ you will love them Kylene!!! These little guys are sooooo enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 😁 your channel is what got me more focused on preparedness. Before that it was just self sufficiency but now I’ve added much of what you have been educating us about. Thank you for blessing us ❤️

Thank you! I lost my 20 quail this spring to a smart fox and a weak spot on the hutch. My 1/2 metal cloth was a hoop roof for outside fun and it wasn't nailed to the wooden hutch they slept in but hung on nails so it wouldn't collapse. Didn't the fox jump on this hoop until it slid off the nails and flattened to expose the quail door. He just waited and the quail were not that smart. I've found a source for quail eggs I could hatch and will do it soon. I like them outside where they only start laying eggs in the spring and stop in the fall. If you keep them inside and have 14 hours or more of light, they will lay all year round but I understand this may be hard on them. They are designed by nature to have a break but that depends too. For instance, in the winter they need the "egg energy" just to stay warm, so they stop laying eggs, so inside where it's warm it may not be as important. I do have plans to move them into the basement if the circumstance requires it. It's hard enough with the foxes, Hawks, and Racoons terrorising my Chickens and Quail, but if times were real hard it's the two legged animal I'd have to worry about. And those critters have opposable thumbs! Makes up for the lack of brains I guess. The eggs are lovely and make great bite sized pickled eggs. Three or four quail eggs equal one chicken egg. Depends on the size of the eggs. The cull is a sad day. But it has to be done. You only want one male for a whack of females and I keep an extra male alive as a backup. Kinda like the Kings second son, just the spare eh? There's about 4 grams of red meat and it's all on the breast. Tough as nails and I haven't figured out how to tenderise it besides canning the stuff. But it is a very easy bird to process. The first one is the hardest! AGGHHH!!!! OK good people, have great one and good luck.

i really love quail and chickens, i would love to raise them as pets but i definitely don't have room for chickens but quail would be perfect for me i think

Thankyou I have four lg chickens and 6 , 4 week old babies . I love my chickens and their fresh eggs 😇

I love this set up! Thank you for sharing! I'm agitating for help building a chicken coop, but a quail enclosure might be wiser...

Oh Thank you! I have started to wondering about quail raising

To the Tune of "Friends in Low Places" Cause I raise quail in small spaces Where the snow is thick so indoor cages. Brush the waste away The Minnesota way. I’m not big on food with faces So someone else do the coup de graces Cause I raise quail In small spaces.

Hey new subscriber here. Love this video, thank you. I raise Quail as well and just love them.

Awesome video

Nice!

Subscribed! Such a good and inspiring video, thank you so much! Recently we got some quail eggs and hatching at home, we made a video too.

Interesting video! Quail seem like fairly low-maintenance birds :-)

It's my understanding from all of the quail raising videos I've watched that you don't want a tall enclosure for quail because they are easily frightened and will try to fly, they fly into the enclosure and don't survive (delicate necks). I follow some quail farmers and they suggest a height of 1 foot for their cage.

I loved the bomb shelter comment. So true. I have coturnix

how loud are they i was thinking about getting 3-4 female button quail to keep in an apartment i know males make some noise but how loud are females

Nice cage and birds. If you want daily eggs and meat in 6 weeks from hatch try some Coturnix quail.

I bet with a few modifications I can turn my ferret nation cage into a quail cage.

Do you have a material List for the cage?

I loved being on vacation and watching wild quail. I wonder what the egg production is, and if the eggs taste like chicken eggs?

what kind of lighting is in the indoor quail coop?

Thank you for sharing. We currently live in a 5th wheel rv. I have wanted chickens, but not able to have them until we buy land. I am so excited to do quail in our rv. We have huge windows in our main area, plus we have a big window over the dresser area in the bedroom. We don't watch TV so it's a perfect place for the quail. I just found this today, so will research and hopefully have quail soon. Can you share where to buy them and more about the feed used. Thank you!@

In my experience, cats Really want to instinctively eat little quail chicklets and if one gets out of an enclosure, they’ll make a quick meal of them. Once you get a cat used to being around them for a few months though, as long as you feed it other things, like cat food, the cat learns that the quail aren’t a food source, and after chasing the them off a few times they know you don’t approve of them eating the quail. I’ve had quail escape the pen and live for days before I found Them happily pecking around in my garden, and I’m sure predators would have taken them out without the protection of the cats.

Where do you get your quail from

Where do they lay their eggs?

Does Beth have her own channel?

are they all hens

Be careful of Histoplasmosis when keeping birds inside!
