Today we are putting 60 quail eggs in the incubator so we thought it was the perfect time to help those of you who are just starting with quail. Like most things on the homestead we try to keep this simple and today we are teaching you how we do it

I raised quail for a while. They are quiet and easy to raise. Both meat and eggs are delicious. Nice and easy to process. Pair of scissors and about a minute a bird. Take up little space. I raised them in wire cages on the ground. Moved them every day. I think I had a male and 4 females in each cage. The down side is that it takes a number of them to make a meal and their eggs are tiny. They would not raise their own young. I had to incubate and brood all of them and that didnt work with my goals. I want all my animals to raise their own young. I couldnt free range them like chickens. They took more effort than the chickens do. Ultimately they werent worth it for me vs regular chickens.

Quail are terminally stupid. They are also vicious cannibals. Hatching the eggs is easy. I have an incubator full right now. Getting a flock to adulthood without them doing something stupid and dying, there is the challenge. Luckily, I have a stray cat that gets any of my dead birds, so they don't go to waste.

Planning to get a dozen coturnix Goliath quail - two c0cks and ten hens - and keep two bantam silkies as brooders in their pen. Well, the silkie hen as a brood mother anyway. A Fox-proof pen this time as the last pen I had was used by the foxes as a dining room.
