I eat the quails they taste good

bob white quail is the hardiest quail that I used to own they don't die easily like the Coturnix quail I put 20 bob white eggs 18 were fertile 14 chicks hatched 1 died because it had splayed leg and club feet I tried the shot glass and a sock and a hobble but that did not work but I have 13 bob whites Coturnix quail put 54 eggs in the incubator 12 hatched 5 chicks lived I got 2 males 3 females from the Coturnix I butchered 1 male the other male his name was faithful and is mate was hope, hope had 1 kid that was a girl and her name was Rosetta Jewel , Rosetta Jewel is a jumbo blue egg layer her color was like a Barred Rock chicken when the heat bored cord falls out of socket then she sits on the chicks bob white quail are more hardier then chickens.

Your the Quail Queen 👸🏻 ❤ 👑

I really appreciate the info in this but just a heads up on releasing bobwhites, they will all die. If any bird has been reared by any being other than a mom bird of that species or a wildlife rehab specialist they will not be able to survive as they have imprinted on people and don't have the skills to survive.

Nice. Thank you for this information.

In nc we have Georgia giant bobwhite which have eggs year round eggs are larger and the size of the bird is 3 times larger they are also calmer / domesticated . We also have Wisconsin jumbo bobwhite . The first is great for coastal regions and piedmont the 2nd best for mountain region of nc . You don’t need a liscense in nc and definitely not for the domestic ones

Hi i need to know can we have cross breed of bob white and counyrix

Why are my bob whites not laying .can you help me figure this out

I've done both...bon-whites are more chill...coturnix are annoying.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Great Video and Information, Quail are fun little Game Birds and everyone should have a few. Thanks

I loved my ducks. But I don't have them anymore. Sold some and gave them away for Christmas gifts. The are all doing good. Maybe someday, I will get ducks again. On my channel I have a Duck and Ducklings playlist. Learn a lot about them.

Do you no what they are?

Hahaha thats funny 🤣 I was concerned too.

When you want to set the Bob Whites quail free you have to wait until they are 16+ weeks old before set them free.

Your comparing a crow to a game rooster!!! Courtnix are a waste of time and feed. The crow would taste better. The Bob White however is the best meat on the planet!!!!! Yeah, they are harder to raise but certainly well worth it!!!

Fantastic.

If I ended up not wanting them I’d dispatch and eat then not set them free

bob white are a lot quiter than the couturnix so if your in town raising them you'll have less of a problem with noise

Do they taste the same?

I bought 100 bobwhite hatchlings from a game bird hatchery. Give 30 to my dad, I built a 4'×8' pen for the 70 I have left. Easy to take care of and feed. I gotta rake the straw bedding out once a week. Very enjoyable..

In my opinion the bobwhite quails are prettier and more unique/cool to look at but the coturnix quail are much more practical in most ways. ALTHOUGH I’ve heard of people having success with natural hatching more so with bobwhites than with coturnix which makes sense since bobwhites are wild and haven’t had the instinct bred out of them.

Very helpful thanks so much

Really good information

Sounds like the coturnix are somewhat domesticated and selectively bred to be so.

My dad always had bob whites and I swear he just had them for their bob white singing

you are gorgeous

Jesus Christ you're annoying

I’m picking up my first 8 quail on Monday.. I’ve raised chickens before but I got wiped out by predators so I’m trying quail .

New sub from Hawaii here!!

I have raised several thousand coturnix. Thought I would try the Bob whites for a friend that hunts with his dog. The Bob whites are nasty nasty birds. They kill each other by ripping off their top beaks. You have to separate them instantly. I will never do Bob whites again.

👍🇲🇦🌷💐

Welcome to Hatch-a-holics we are up to 6 incubators now.

How can i buy 2 Bob white my husband love to hear them...

those chicks are so calm wheni try to hold most they want to get out of my hand.

Once they get going, they're pretty fast.

😍

Why do you buy a second incubator if one egg type takes longer to hatch? That is not at all logical and something that everyone would do. Normally people just put the eggs that hatch faster in the incubator after the ones that take longer, it's that simple!

Just ordered some chicks from Stromberg’s Chickens

can also give us some info about California quail if you have owned them Side note and none of my business but You're very pretty ma'am 😊

I came across a bob white male when young as a pet opportunity....lucky for this lil shit I’m a huge animal person and I’ve always wanted a bird. So he stays with my other herbivors...but it’s true they rlly r kinda wild. He only likes me and legit attacks everyone else. Still he’s my precious bird boy

I have raised both. Coturnix----Fast growers BUT require twice as much feed. Fast growers BUT poop twice as much and it is very liquidy. Dark meat birds one level worse than chicken dark meat. Calm as chickens, can be handled no problem Can be cramped together with fewer problems. Vocal sounds irritating. Bob Whites---Slower growing BUT eat half as much feed as coturnix Slower growing BUT poop half as much and poop is much dryer. White meat birds much more tender and tastier than chicken. Not calm. cannot be handled. They want to excape all the time. Cannot be cramped together. Vocal sounds are absolutely beautiful. All in All: I have gotten rid of my coturnix and have Bob Whites. I have not tried Some sites are saying that activity controls the color and taste of meat. Hogwash. Coturnix are dark meat birds period. Bobwhites are white meat birds period. Enough of that. I have been raising birds since I was 10 years old and now am 63. Bobwhite quail meat is so tender that you cannot soak it in buttermilk like you would chicken breast. It will dissolve. The most tender bird meat I have ever eaten was bob white breast meat. I have eaten most birds including crow. If you enjoy white meat then wait until they mature. If you enjoy dark meat and fast turnover then put up with all the wet poop and large feed bills.

How often do you clean your box

Everyone with me now, follow along if you know it. I used to be a bobwhite a good old bobwhite too, but now ive finished bobwhite-ing i dont know what to do...

You should probably just eat the bobwhite quail. Because if you release them in the wild they will most all likely be dead within three weeks

Thank you for sharing this video. It is good to hear your insight. It will help me make a decision on which quail to purchase.

I just bought bobwhite, oh my oh my, why I just found your video

Great video! Thanks!

There is too much rambling. Stating the same points over and over But thank you for the warning
