Raising Coturnix Quail On The Ground | Update

[@myurbangarden7695]

Very fascinating. I would have never thought these birds were practical to keep. I have learned a lot from your channel.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you! They are so cute 😂. Very simple to process, but also super cute and lay LOTS of eggs

[@johoney5458]

very nice. they are a lot quieter than chickens and take up a lot less room. thanks for sharing..

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

They definitely are a great option for small yard! So simple to raise

[@Manzanitamystic]

Great coop! I’m doing a pretty big coop/aviary for my quail! Eggs will be shipped tomorrow! Miss me luck ❤️

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

That’s exciting!!

Enfin une vidéo qui ne fait pas les louanges de l'élevage en clapier à 60 oiseaux par m2!! Merci! 😊

Mine like cantaloupe and watermelon, if you haven’t tried that with your quail. I have Bob White quail also and I have the pearl fee . I love the pearl fee they look like snow birds .lol

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Oh my word! I have to try that! Currently we don’t have them, we are looking to relocate! :) keep us in prayer but once we do and get more quail I’ll have to try

[@pamelabratton2501]

The oregano is pure genius! I will be adding them to my hutch. I need the rain to stop so I can go work on it more!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We are getting rain as well! But we needed it SO BAD

[@whitetrim1]

Thanks for sharing.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You’re very welcome

[@Chickenfoothomestead]

Yes, the natural enclosures are the way to go. I have been watching Nancy Tanners channel and she too has her flock in a natural enclosure. Do you butcher yours or are they only for eggs?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We butchered because we have eggs from the chickens, and ducks

[@Chickenfoothomestead]

So then the question...do they taste more like chicken or duck?@@JesusLovingHomesteader

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

@@Chickenfoothomestead Definitely Chicken! I have a reel of me bartering and frying them

[@Chickenfoothomestead]

Awesome, thank you!@@JesusLovingHomesteader

I have my quail on the ground too in a similar set up and I love it EXCEPT when it rains and the ground gets wet it starts to smell like ammonia. When it's just one day it's fine but multiple days in a row 🥴 do you ever have this problem if so how do you combat the smell?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I don’t, I actually have a deep mulch method. The Quail are on a mulch bedding. We cleaned it once a month.

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

@@JesusLovingHomesteader I'll have to try that. I use mulch for the chickens and it's great I havnt come across anyone using it for quail though so I wasn't sure it was safe for them

[@marleydemann9747]

I currently keep my quail in a hutch but I'm thinking about moving them to a ground set up. I've heard that they are likely to get worms that way. Have you had any problems with this?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We never had that issue at all.

[@lesliethompson8927]

Do you have to deworm them since they are on the foraging on the ground

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I’ve never had issues! We no longer raise Quail though. The eggs weren’t worth it to me, since we had turkeys and chickens

[@khanhle198]

How you clean their poop?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You put them in a bin, every few months, shovel out the old mulch/pine shavings, and add fresh .

[@busylittlegarden4519]

Love your set up. What is the dimensions? Looks like a great size
