This was really fun, exceptional information/descriptive ...this introduction to raising quail is very beautiful. Thank you, both! Also, I went over to 'Partically Redneck' and yeah, I see why he's very helpful about making the huthes. Happy Living!

Wow. This is a really interesting channel, I need to watch some of these videos because, as someone from the Bronx, I am clueless when it comes to stuff like this. I always tell people if we all had to be self sustainable suddenly, if the world just dramatically changed all of a sudden, I am not the one who would know how to survive. I am the one who knows how to call the super. To come fix everything. And that’s not good. :-) Anyway, I’ll be looking at more of these videos, thanks so much for sharing this.

Quail are great but as a rule you won't get rich, make a living or anything else with them. This has been my experience as EVERYONE is now raising quail and trying to make a buck which drives down the market. ALSO....quail are not self sustainable like chickens. They don't really free range well. There will definitely be a feed bill! Tractor supply has been the cheapest in my area and a 50# bag was $19 each and depending on the number of birds you could easily use 2 bags per month as a hobby. As a rule you CAN NOT sell enough eggs to break even and make up for the feed cost. Quail are awesome as a food source for the homestead! 2 birds per adult and 1 per child per meal is a good dinner. They have a sweet taste to me and I love the taste. You can freeze them, dehydrate the meat for jerky, use them for animal food...there are so many options! One last suggestion: STAY AWAY FROM HATCHING TIME CAGES! Great for a hobby, terrible for production.

im homesteading in south west missouri also

I love this message, celebrating the small wins💚💚

Money. The fact I have to work 40-80 hours a week and not spend any time enjoying life, just to pay bills and afford rent. I’d have to save every penny that isn’t spent toward those bills, which makes life extremely dull. Credit isn’t good enough for a loan to buy an acre, let alone multiple.

Great video, I so need to get a quail starter set!

Thanks for the supp food advice. I raise bsf in the summer and sweet potato slips so score.

Concerning quail aggression and ratio, she’s spot on. My first hatch resulted in 7 quail, 2 male and 5 female. At 6 weeks old, a day after the first egg appeared, one male killed the other. Lesson learned. I had always planned to separate at maturity, but just wasn’t quick enough. Next batch are in the incubator.

I like how your video is presented in a friendly informal manner yet still very informative. Although I'm experienced raising chickens and other livestock, I appreciate the laymens approach. This is also a special topic for me because my grandmother (who's farm I inherited) raised wild California quail in her day. 😻 Your video is inspiration to raise them again. 🕊

Love the honesty ❤

Wow, this was amazing! Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Keep up the fantastic work

Good work keep it up

Larry‘s explanation of Permaculture is one that makes the most sense to me about what it is as a philosophy more than anything I’ve ever read or watched from anyone else. It was like a blinding flash of the obvious. Thank you for hosting him, he’s a wealth of knowledge!

I cried here with you when I listened to your podcast. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It’s helping me so much!

I am so glad i found you. Sorry for your loss. We had to put our dog down in Jan due to cancer. She was mainly my husband and daughters dog but our daughter got married and moved and my husband was gone to work all day so we grew close as i was the one taking care of her threw her last months of her life. It was so hard to make that choice. But within a 24 hour time she declined significantly. Thanks for your videos and for the good cry today.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I totally feel for you. I had to do the same thing to my old girl, she was 32.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's really good that you're letting yourself process all the changes this past summer and I look up to you in taking your time in figuring out your next steps and reserving your time and energy for what matters most to you ❤️‍🩹🙏

Thank you. 🙌❤

We have been doing quail for about a year now and LOVE it and they are so easy way easier than chickens

Having sewing skills is a part of homesteading you will want to add to your list.😊

I have been curious about this possibility, so I appreciate you covering it so personally and thoroughly. The comparison of respecting , caring for, and killing my own chickens and/or rabbits to the horrific lives of the animals raised and killed by the big companies really struck home and is compelling . I have not finished watching yet but wanted to pipe in “Thank You!” now

Have her very worn book love it 😅

Getting chickens was the start to my garden. Began too late, but we started! That’s what counts.

All chickens have their own personality. pecking order has to be established amongst them, and corrections are expected.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

I have the mindset and didn’t know what it was!!! People say I’m weird or acting old because I garden, work at a garden, quilt, like being around and learning from people who have lived life…seasoned saints. I’m really okay! I still may be weird or act old, but the things you listed are NOT the indicators lol😂. Thank you for normalizing my homesteaders heart ❤.

Hi

We are starting a garden. And I crochet. Yay! I can't wait!

Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this interview! Thank you Dalia for reminding us that we look at flock dynamics through our human experience. I have one hen who is always at the bottom of the pecking order and always alone, no matter how many new flock members get introduced. I always feel so sorry for her and have literally lost hours of sleep trying to figure out how I can "fix" this. Thank you for reminding me that this is how things are within a flock and as long as they aren't injuring her, I have to be ok with this. Thank you for sharing your vast experience with others. Much love from Australia ❤

In aquaponics, I'm pretty sure the plants are cleaning the water for the fish. So they are helping, but you still have to feed the fish ^-^'

Catnip plants work well. Hornworms hate them.

Try planting catnip next to them, hornworms hate catnip.
