7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting Quail

[@johoney5458]

a good source of growing meat and having eggs. they are small enough for me, an older lady, to handle myself, and they don't need a lot of room. another plus is the rooster does not crow so loud as the chicken rooster.

[@splitarrowfarm]

All very true!

[@NemSeiPow]

Yes! It’s a plus so sure.

[@modifiedchevy]

But they do crow... at 5 weeks... and if you have 50 or so of them, it gets loud... really, really loud... and with that many it's constant 😅

[@AllOuttaSpoons]

9:47 That is genius! I hadn’t even considered this option till now and it’s the answer to my current “problem” of where I’m going to put them. Thanks you so much for this detailed video! ❤

tractor supply in maryland sells 30 quail chicks $170 for coturnix and $150 for bobwhite

[@splitarrowfarm]

Oh wow

[@StaceyHewitt-w9u]

I love watching your videos! They have been very helpful in starting with quails

[@splitarrowfarm]

Glad you like them!

[@WC3fanatic997]

When it comes to the noises they make, if they can be heard at all they could be mistaken for some uppity or annoying squirrels if the person hearing them is not knowledgeable about Quails. And even then they're hardly as uniquely jarring as a rooster crow or even a chicken bawk so it never sounds out of place even amongst all the "Nature" sounds we've heard for years where we are. One of the things I also love about Quail is just how incapable of hurting you they are. They will never attempt to attack you, and even the most depserate struggle to get out of your grip gets barely more than the top layer of skin scratched, if you are unlucky. They are astonishingly timid and weak little birds, not even counting when comparing to chicken which can be vicious and quite painful if handled incorrectly.

[@splitarrowfarm]

Love it and great details !

[@alex_ob1]

Some males will definitely try to peck you.

[@BlackCat_2]

🐦interesting. I am seriously considering getting some quail for the eggs. I hope they still lay after 2 years. Even if it is not as often that is fine as I plan to have several females. Heidi

[@splitarrowfarm]

Love it!

[@Jmoney250r]

Got my subscribe. Got 4 quail today . Don’t know the gender. But hopefully tomorrow I can find out . Wanting to get an incubator if I have a male and females to hatch more

[@splitarrowfarm]

Yes! We incubate our own and it’s so easy and fun!

[@kristyjful]

Do you need to have a slanted floor to roll out the eggs? Will the step on them and break them with a level floor or is it more for convenience?

[@anitachisnell8412]

I’ve never had sloped floor, never had a cracked egg either. 😊

[@subdawg1331]

thank you a great amount of valuable information

[@splitarrowfarm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnxporter]

Do you have any incubators that you would recommend that’s cheaper but works well, I don’t need an incubator since I have chickens and ducks that will sit on eggs but I need something just for quail.

[@splitarrowfarm]

This is our favorite incubator: amzn.to/47LS6Bv

[@ImyourangelVDC]

How do you introduce new quail to existing quail? Night time like chickens?

[@splitarrowfarm]

Good question, we haven’t actually done too much introduction of new quail yet but something I would love to learn and share more about

[@ImyourangelVDC]

@@splitarrowfarm I am currently going through the process. The lady I got my quail from told me to put 1 at a time into the cage at night so they get used to each other's smell. My females off-ed my first male so... we had to get a new guy.

[@Sun-ng7gj]

naybe you could try keeping the new ones in a small cage inside of the bigger cage?

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Great tips, thanks for sharing.

[@splitarrowfarm]
