Learned the hard way about aggressive males, kept making excuses for one of ours and he ended up almost killing our largest female. That second I took him out the back and that was it. I did so much to accommodate him with different females, lights, brightness and colours, different feeds and treats. He wasted my time and proved to me sometimes male quail can be just plain mean!

Great instructional video. Impressed with your standards. Hope to order from you soon.

"Potatoes" 🤣🤣 I'd call them melons.

[@lindaw2418]

I have some older quails are they still good eating?

[@markmarkmark1821]

How many quail would you need to start making a profit approx Cheers Mark

When you cull your birds that don't make your breeding program another option for me could be harvesting them for meat, correct?! You don't harvest them?

[@KaylahDemi]

That is what is standardly means. They don't just toss them for funnies, they're still good meat

Will a bird missing an eye be able to lay if a hen? I know you do not keep that bird. I have one living by itself at the moment.

[@soapygrape777]

Yes, it may still lay depending on stress levels. It's up to you whether you keep or cull.

Hello my courtex quail are mature now,I have 2 males and 2 females,should I pair them off? I'm only allowed 4.

[@soapygrape777]

You've gotta be careful because males have been known to breed their female to death, especially if there is a bad ratio. 3-5 females per 1 male is typically the accepted ratio to avoid any issues.

[@mayaabueg9018]

Why do you cull the potatoes?

[@theone5404]

Does confirmation really mean anything if all you want is meat and eggs?

[@daigledj]

Long term it could if it leads to poorer health, issues reproducing, etc. Especially true if you repeatedly breed without regard for selecting one's with desired traits.
