I got started with quail about 10 years ago. Your channel was my go-to with any questions, and I would recommend your channel to anyone who was new to quail. Thanks for all the great videos and information over the years.

[@John-t1t5v]

When i began raising quail many years ago, there wasn't much information available & finding your channel back then was a Godsend! Even now, with other sources, yours is the best for what I want to do. Others teach how to keep hundreds, or even thousands of quail. I want a few for meat & eggs. Got into it when the Stimulus Checks came out, so I was living the old Dire Straits tune: I got my money for nothin' & my chicks for free... Thanks for the years of ideas, solutions, encouragement, advice, and just plain commardarie. May God continue to bless you & yours.

Omg, that was seriously the best line!!!!

[@casmarykay8433]

Thanks for making this video! I got several ides that I'll incorporate into my next cage build. You touched on adding plastic to help weatherproof. I use the empty feed sacks my quail food comes in. Split them open and staple them on.... easy, cheap and fast! And, a never ending supply! 😂 Also, I totally agree with you about the snakes. They do a great job keeping the rat population down....If only they could catch squirrels...😕

We get our quail tomorrow, built my brooder box, and work on the pen, bought it from a family, but I am removing the floor replacing the wire completely and secured it.

[@billydamnit]

I'm about to start this progress. How's everything going?

[@GoldieJoRv]

@ raising the quail was easy, they grow and mature fast , moved them outside in a grow out pen took a dog kennel layer wire down to keep predators out, wrap it in hard wire, bought a bale of straw layed that out they love it have a small rabbit hutch they won’t climb up the second floor so a nice box will work, easy to take care of so worth it. Beautiful birds.

[@davidlister2438]

Just a tickler on an old video request. How about one on heat lamp vs. heat plate? Personally I have gone over to heat plates for safety reasons.

[@TheRodT]

I love the way you do it and I cant wait to do it when I get my place. Been watching you forever.

[@leslieyoung2814]

You mentioned that you switch out your egg layers about every year. Are you hatching more often than that to focus on birds for meat too? I’m so excited to get started with quail. Bought my first fertile eggs this morning.

[@sowandtare]

Thank you for sharing your changes over time! Nice-looking snake!

[@kitaro9336]

How did the snake get in? Did you find any obvious weak spot on your hutch design? I know your enclosures have become somewhat of a guide for a lot of people so I’m curious if it was something avoidable or a mistake on that one particular hutch. Appreciate all your videos and guidance for others trying to figure things out

My first quail I got 45 years ago was jumbo quail . So , jumbos have been a thing for many years .

[@steveboston6889]

I would like to see a video on your new incubator (I may have missed it). I mimicked your whole set up when I started (SW MO). Always great content, long-time subscriber.

[@kathleensanderson3082]

We had a rat snake here a couple of weeks ago that was a bit larger than yours, and quite a bit lighter in color. My friend told me that when they shed their skin, they will be light-colored for a while and then darken up again. (The color had us confused when we tried to identify it.)

[@whitetrim1]

Excellent! Thanks for the update!!

[@jbid9999]

Thanks

How do you keep your water system from freezing in the winters

[@uriebyler5749]

He has a video disassembling it and using a covered bowl because of freezing during winter.

[@20WarChild20]

Awsome bud👍👍👍👍👍

[@Brookevaughn52]

I like the little giant.

[@SunDialReviews_Geo_scent_view]

Thanks for the video, Chris! Quick question:Do you go by the 3 Quail/1 square foot rule?

[@paula.Garden]

This year my quail stop laying in the winter is normal?

[@backstagebullyz3235]

Do you switch from sand during the winter months?

[@danyconstancio6215]

Where do you purchase fertile eggs? Amazon or a business website?

[@squarebodylt5469]

What variety lays the blue eggs? That might be my ticket to getting some quail. Mother of my kids has a few chickens. She recently got some Easter Eggers to add to her flock. Has anyone ever tried to hatch quail under a chicken?

[@momofthesouth2992]

Celadon quail

[@GoldieJoRv]

@@momofthesouth2992pick up ours tomorrow!

[@ronelrat4783]

Chickens crush the smaller quail eggs, but the smaller pekins or silkies will hatch quail. But then she should only lay on quail eggs and not a mix of quail and chicken eggs because quail eggs will lay at the bottom and not be turned / kept warm effectively.

[@edselby1473]

What do you think about the JMF wild type I have about 150 mixed colors, most of my cages are set up similar to yours one or three layers out side with poop trays

[@pamb548]

Can you do a video on what you feed them?

[@JesseCardwell-b9z]

Recently I bought 6 quail from someone I new in town. With in one week I’ve lost 2 birds with out of no where. Plenty of feed and clean water every day. Can you tell me why this is happening or maybe happening?

[@edselby1473]

What do think of the JMF wild type

[@Ceci-kj9ce]

Why not try Chukers?

[@PhatKountry]

I suggested it for Quail Con you where looking for topics

[@lajwantishahani1225]

My problem is regular backyard visits by rats and snakes of all kinds besides the useless stray cats! I just want to keep a few layer quails indoors and not attract any more wildlife. Only a few weeks ago I caught a sluggish baby cobra wrapped around my backdoor with a distended tummy! I do want to keep a few ducks outdoors though for pest control in the garden. Trying to figure out how to avoid their food mess and hope they can hold their own.

[@riyadhmohammed1231]

how many flocks do you keep ?

[@MickSupper]

Snakes that end up in my chicken coop are dead meat. Yes they will come time after time until you dispose of them.
