It Started with 12 Quail...Maybe It's More Than a Hobby After All.

Today I am hatching Jumbo Quail eggs from Myshire Farm. You won't believe how well they did!

We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

Brilliant timings. I'm starting with quail again with so much more knowledge thanks to videos like this.

[@rebeccasirignano7]

Love to see the Bible In the background! God bless!! The 🐶 also, super cool video definitely different.

[@kathyboudreau-henry1717]

I couldn't stop watching the dogs. 😂😂

I started with 20 Jumbo quail It has now been a year. I has now grown to more than a hobby. I currently have 200 of my own quail in the Incubator.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY

MyShire is awesome and has a fantastic quail community. Good luck with these babies.

[@richardlove4287]

Ex Chicken farmer here….when you candle your eggs make an "ok" sign by touching your forefinger and thumb together and place/hold the torch under the hole…..then you can place the egg on top of your thumb and forefinger hole to see the whole egg with the light underneath. It makes the egg so much more visible and easier to handle. Good luck good people.

[@ymimad49]

oh I miss my quail so much! I used to raise them in my apartment, I had all the meat and eggs I could eat. but eventually I had to stop as it was just too messy. but I so miss hatching out the chicks, it was the most fun I have had in my senior years. keep up the good work on your farm I so enjoy watching you. (I am an old lady in a highrise!)

[@Jerrodbasketball]

Raising them inside your apartment? What?

Adorable little quail.

[@stevemourer1957]

Excellent hatch rate, I've been raising jumbo cortunix quail and Northern Bob White quail for several years. Anytime I can get over a 50% hatch rate with my farm innovator incubator I feel like it's a success. I've been wanting to get a new incubator for a couple of years now, and you've motivated me to pull the trigger on the purchase. Another great video by Living Traditions Homestead.

82% of mail eggs is extraordinarily great.

I am excited for you and the new large quail. The babies look like popcorn jumping around in the incubator.

[@leannwhite620]

Big WOWZERS on the success rate! I'm glad you linked all of the videos together. My first thought was "Oh, dang. I'll be waiting for these chicks to hatch. At least it won't be as long as the piglets!" And then, WOO-HOO! We used to incubate chickens and this brought back some good memories. Thanks for showing us all of your adventures.

Tgey are so tiny. We have raised chickens for meat, but I never thought about quail before. Now I’m going to have to watch all of your quail videos.

[@jaybird4610]

Great vid. I’ve ordered from Myshire and wouldn’t go anywhere else. They are fantastic.

[@elizabethordaz5070]

I’ve hear if you put rocks in their water dish it can help with them not getting too wet.

[@rhondaborders3452]

That is a great idea! One of them looked so deep. They would never be able to get out of it.

[@h.s.6269]

Yea, quail chicks are prone to drowning or getting chilled the first few days while they get their motor skills developed.

[@swianecki]

What a fantastic hatch rate. Those chicks are so cute. In AZ we would say the baby quail looked just like little walnuts.

[@katrinakrakow5961]

My Mom calls the native California quail babies "walking walnuts".

[@Minnesota_Mama_Bear]

Fantastic! Super! What a great community! I'm so excited for you! This is a huge leap forward with your quail adventure. Your excitement for these little lives shines in every video you do. This is surely a Kevin thing on the homestead. Blessings on your journey down this new path of Jumbo Quail. DID YOU HAVE TO BUILD MORE CAGES BEFORE THEY HATCHED? 💚🌞

[@rode-o5206]

Great video. Thanks for doing beginning to end (almost). Can't wait for the next update to hear final results and how you will set up the new flock in the cages you purchased.

It's nice that their videos are more thorough than others

[@lajwantishahani1225]

This is so exciting! I loved how your curious dogs came scrambling to greet the new chicks... lol! With inflation hitting through the roof right now I'm thinking of getting a few quails for eggs to begin with. I hope you do have a video on that and will look for it. Thanks, Lajo

[@whitediver45]

I like your channel and I appreciate the information you share. Got me 10 quail now.

I just put my Jumbo mix quail eggs from Myshire in my incubators also! We’re going to try and raise 400 a month. Cool incubator! We’re getting the Wynola cages also. I am so happy you’re back into quail so I can see how you all raise them. Thanks for showing us your journey with them.

[@herbnerd9509]

I'm a big fan of your channel and just watched this video last night because I'm finally considering raising quail. I looked up myshire farms only to find that they are in the next town over from me! I think it's definitely a sign that I'm moving in the right direction! Thank you for all of your videos! I've watched all of your rabbit videos multiple times while I was learning the ropes with raising rabbits and the videos have helped me tremendously! Btw, I have the same incubator and absolutely love it!

[@susandobbins1313]

Best way to count is to take a picture.

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

Was just watching the video on smoking Venison. It's cold here in TN. It's 25 degrees! I need a heated bunny suit, With FEET! So I can get in my chair, get my coffee, and watch Kevin and Sarah! Hope the piglets are warm! Have to stay on top of the egg gathering or they will freeze. GOD bless

Nice that u showed start to finish of hatching these eggs all in one video...I like that....Hope all is going well with them.

[@katrinakrakow5961]

This is awesome! I know you have tons of experience raising birds, but I have some suggestions that may help. Is the bottom of your incubator non-slip? If not, you can put down the shelf liner with the holes...this will prevent splayed legs. For your waterer, of you put marbles or rocks in the dish part, it will prevent them from trying to go swimming and also from drowning. These babies are tiny and I've heard stories and seen pictures of them climbing up into the food containers and suffocating--if you feed on the floor the first several days, they can grow big enough to avoid this. I tape the holes to make them smaller so they can't fit in. I'm excited you are getting back into quail!

[@Alexis_9339]

Amazon has a quail waterer that is more shallow, works great.

[@katrinakrakow5961]

@@Alexis_9339 I still put marbles in those.

[@Alexis_9339]

@@katrinakrakow5961 hmm, I’ve never had an issue. Thanks for letting me know!

[@diannt9583]

I use the more narrow waterer bottoms, and since marbles don't really fit that, I use washed gravel, picking through for the proper sizes. (I also didn't need to pay for marbles if the gravel here was free!)

[@lynn2574]

So funny/sad story… we had and hatched quail when I was a kid. I loved them. Then I learned that my parents planned on them being the main course for a big dinner party. As you know…. Quail don’t really fly far. A friend and I decided that if we gave them a ‘head start’, they would be able to fly to safety. I lived on an almond orchard, which had tall wind machines on it (VERY tall - several times higher than the trees). We loaded the quail into a crate and lugged them up the ladder. We wished them well, and flung them off the wind machine platform to freedom. …….. It did not go well. Only a few of the quail survived our rescue attempt, and they were injured. We loaded them back up and ran to my dad for help. That was over 35 years ago, and is still routinely brought up with a laugh. “Remember that time you killed all the quail rescuing them?” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@belindawest3558]

I saw where there is a quail plucker machine just like the chicken on. Just little

[@katrinakrakow5961]

I have one that attaches to a drill.

[@bbrown8353]

I hope you are going to take us through to the processing of these quails. I would love to set up a sustainable food source here on long island in NY. I have thought about chickens but our property isn't very large and we use most to garden. This has me intrigued! Thank you so much

[@h.s.6269]

Even if they end up choosing to not go through the process and sharing it I'd highly recommend it for an urban environment. I live in a city, not huge like NYC or anything and I have a backyard where I built a 6'x8' run attached to 2 hutches. We built it in a way where I can easily separate it into 2 runs if I need them separate bc of size or breeds, but for the winter I took the divider out so they have the full run since they are barely laying anyway. Anyway, they really are easy to manage care for with the right setup and pretty tasty. My family likes them in stews best!
