Coturnix Quail egg balut can help increase your bottom line. In this video I explain how to tap into another market by offering quail balut to your customers.

[@sarahhallgren2725]

Nicely done! It's important to be understanding of different cultures even if it's not your cup of tea 🙂

[@CoturnixCorner]

Thank you

I’ve been doing this for 6 months now and it has been very lucrative. I pull mine on day 13. I sell 18 count cartons for $10-12 double my eating eggs. I do special orders of 100-200eggs at a time to be picked up on day of completion. I have made some good connections at sushi bars.

Terry, I think you did a great job! Got the info I was looking for in your responses to other's questions. You are my go to for any questions on quail. I know you will say you don't know everything, but to me your experience speaks volumes! I'll be sure to email you with any questions I can't find the answers to in others comments. So far, I love ALL your videos! Keep up the great work!

Appreciate the education there are so many cultures to support

[@douglasdishroon1834]

Very informative video. TY

[@jodyflores601]

I have known about balut and seen Asian/Fillipino eat them. Definitely not something I would do myself. My heart would get in the way. Now if someone wanted fertile eggs, they can do what they want with them. Thank you for sharin' Terry. :)

I've seen this type of stuff on Bizarre Foods! Interesting!

How do the feathers taste?

[@beyondtheborder2549]

Hello Terry, really enjoy tour videos. We have started a kwale project at a children's home in Mexico and if copied a lot of your ideas. We have several quail cage is based on your plans. Really appreciate all your wisdom. When question where do you buy the plastic egg containers to sell the eggs? Thank you very much keep up the great work we enjoy learning from you.

[@CoturnixCorner]

I purchase mine from Matt Heidrick out of Texas, you can find him on Facebook

[@STFOURNARIS]

Wow I’ve never heard of this.

[@davispaglinawan5308]

Can you incubate the eggs from feeds-layering birds?

[@katiecamp3566]

Hi Terry I was just wondering how much do you get for your

[@chompchompfood]

Do you do shipping these?

[@machinegreen1911]

I agree one hundred percent. I find them disgusting also but you're right understanding other cultures. Well done Terry although a demonstration of cooking and EATING would have been more entertaining. LOL.

[@CoturnixCorner]

LOL, don't think I could stomach it :)

[@coreycbernsdorff]

Lol, too funny!

[@tynawilliams6184]

I enjoy your video's. I'm just getting started with quails. I have 14 eggs in the incubator now. Just wanted to know what to feed the babies, and how long til grown?

[@CoturnixCorner]

start with a higher protein chick or gamebird starter, and they make weight at about 8 - 10 weeks.

[@user-lr5nf1kx9g]

Hi Terry.. Can you show me how to check the eggs to see if they're alive or dead? because quail egg shells are dark

[@mesquitemagic]

I know this is an old video, but I'm curious about what quail you use for balut eggs. Are you raising Jumbo Corturnix?

[@CoturnixCorner]

You can pretty much use any variety to make balut, but larger eggs are preferred.

[@SilverBackStacker]

I've eaten and enjoy duck balut. But I don't want tough feathers or bones. I definitely like them incubated fewer days. Sometimes in Asia the vendor will lie and sell you a 17 or 18 day balut and tell you it's 14 day. Not cool! Hehe... I still eat the white and yolk, but if the feathers are well formed I don't eat the chicks.

[@scantrahan]

I learned about this living in vancouver BC; there's a belief that balut helps women during pregnancy, but it's kind of a hard sell to the women who didn't grow up with it ;)

[@henrymcdoo]

Sure otherwise it could help them only with their throw up routine :D

[@Againstthegrain8084]

How much do you get for them?

[@christinagardener1889]

I heard the Filipino community loves them.

[@CoturnixCorner]

Another potential market!

[@OkieRob]

@@CoturnixCorner I served overseas in the Navy, when I hear balut, I think of the phillipines.

[@whitecreekradio6781]

How long will they stay edible in a refrigerator?

[@CoturnixCorner]

I never keep them for more than a couple days in the fridge. Not sure how long they would last but I want my customer to have the freshest I can give them.

[@mr.smiley4263]

That is more of a Asian and Filipino thing ,not to much in the Hispanic community. Thanks for the video

[@CoturnixCorner]

I have several hispanics that regularly buy balut.

[@mamaasbell8044]

@@CoturnixCorner I have Hispanics also asking me for balut. They are also very fond of quail eggs.

[@heartlikejesus1035]

How long do I have to keep a light on the chicks

[@CoturnixCorner]

Keep the light on until they are just about fully feathered out. Usually around 3 weeks.

[@HomesteadingCityStyle]

Hey Terry, how much do you get for a dozen balut eggs???

[@CoturnixCorner]

Usually around a $1.25 per egg

[@diannt9583]

I've always wanted to try balut. Need to be a lot more confident in my candling techniques, first. Interesting about the marketing aspects!

[@CoturnixCorner]

Go for it!

[@tonis4872]

How can you tell of the embryo has died in the egg?

[@lonkihusar6479]

Haha, I've never heard about that in the Hispanic cultures, at least in Argentina where I'm living

[@urielc3085]

Do they just boil the egg?

[@CoturnixCorner]

yes

[@jonnybrn]

I wonder if it's possible to make an ostrich balut... Searched the whole KZbin and haven't found anything

[@ratterrier6181]

What is a good price to sell these at thanks :)

[@CoturnixCorner]

I usually get $1.25 an egg, for smaller orders I charge $1.50 each because it ties up an incubator.

[@albertabyers7157]

I think the first time I heard of balut eggs was on amazing race when they had to eat them. I would have gagged. I am sure it is a great source of protein but there are feathers, beaks and bones. they had to eat duck eggs which are a lot bigger then quail eggs.

[@maintxhee]

Yep, I'm Asian and I think it's gross, but a lot of people seems think I'm missing out. 😆 🤣 can never bring myself to eat a developed egg. To each of their own.

[@CoturnixCorner]

I've heard the same from my customers but don't think I could stomach it. :)

[@sidepocket4]

Would you share how much you are selling per 24 case

[@CoturnixCorner]

$1.25 - $1.50 egg

[@thatbubbleguy]

Holy s#!%! I'm in!

[@katiecamp3566]

How much do you get for your balut eggs

I charge $1.25 per egg, or $1 each when ordering 50 or more.

I disagree with going against your own cultural preferences in order to make a buck.

[@buckbuckleyson2259]

Going against preferences? That's just what you prefer. If your culture BELIEVES that there is a wrongdoing going on then sure. But a jackass wouldnt know the difference.

[@untitled6087]

This isn't just disgusting, it's utterly cruel and shameful.

[@mikeries8549]

Asian culture has no heart. Go to Asia and fact check me. lol

[@MrsStevenBrown]

How is this cruel? We eat the eggs and butcher these birds all the time, this is just an egg that’s further along than what you normally eat lol 😆 it’s boiled quail instead of fried or baked quail, it’s just a little younger. There is no pain involved at all so it’s not cruel. Maybe check yourself before being dramatic! Judging others isn’t something your qualified for; Untitled indeed!

[@untitled6087]

@@MrsStevenBrown nope, I'm morally consistent. Butchering is even worse, and the egg industry subsidises the meat industry. And how do you know there's no pain involved?

[@MrsStevenBrown]

@@untitled6087 easy.. no brain waves at that age…science says so. Just like fetus before 20 weeks for humans..no brain waves, no pain, no problem.

[@untitled6087]

@J J I can survive perfectly well without eating animal products. Animal agriculture causes suffering, and that suffering can be avoided by not participating in it. Why should something be required to die just so I can eat it, when I could eat things that can't suffer?
