There was a man in my old neighborhood who raised quail deep in his garden patio. He sold the eggs from his garage to neighborhood foot-traffic, $4 for six, or $7/dozen: Half the price than in the local grocer. His garden was amazing using just the quail fertilizer, dahlias as big as my head, a huge avocado tree, 10-12 foot sunflowers, roses of all kinds, and everything medicinal and edible you could imagine. The garden was a big bouquet, too. Rose bush, then a big cabbage, and herbs, a tomato, more flowers, then a vine of beans up a trellis and climbing a topiary giraffe form. He had that garden since the mid-70s and flies the Mexican and American flags together on the same pole at the front of the garden. He healed himself from a liver transplant at age 70. He looked 50.

I plant my dead critters and guts and stuff like that under my fruit trees. They grow like crazy.

[@nancymweasel6561]

Yes great idea. Just sprinkle a generous amount of lime on top of guts before planting tree.

[@chrislecky710]

They are awesome animals with high instinctive impulses , just took my quail on a field trip,,,,, it was a success, they came back when called and they now have a belly full of ants,, at 15 days old I'm impressed .

[@bonafideslacker2626]

We didn't raise quail this year and regret it. Early springtime will definitely bring 100+ coturnix hatching eggs to our small farm. We harvest the males at around eight weeks and keep the females through the egg laying season. Can't say too many times how delicious both the quail meat and eggs are. We've been really pleased with the hatching eggs we get from Myshire Farms.

[@cyndifoore7743]

My one experience eating a quail egg was absolutely horrible. I’ve never eaten the meat.

[@TheBuddaflai]

Love this! Quail like to hide so it would be nice to add a small upside down tote with a hole cut out for a doorway.

[@rsoubiea]

the quail are kinda cute and fin to watch.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌿🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@janetwithers7427]

The quail are so cute. I hear quail eggs are delicious. The pigs love their food so noisy. Stay well. 💞

[@patriciabenavidez-munoz8078]

Yay for the shout out !!!always looking so handsome miss you to love you 😘

[@randyc754]

Been waiting for Quail! Awesome!

[@theschoolhouselife3831]

How’d it go raising the quail in that coop? Anything you’d change. We are thinking about raising some this year.

[@maddogair]

Jason, you forgot the box that the quails need to hide in, when you move them

[@raymccarty4612]

I have quail the same age and some have hatched yesterday. They are worth the minimal effort it takes to raise them.

[@williamsfamily3939]

Won’t the quails escape under the tractor when you move it? Are you thinking of adding a box like the “quail” lady you visited on Wild Way Farm?

[@bradcondon6632]

When i had chickens i always cooked fish guts for them. Hi Clara from uncle Brad

[@vladimirpopovic8136]

Quails are actually best birds for fast growing and maturity. Their incubation period is 17 days, they start laying eggs around day 45

[@gamemastertz3787]

Keep the cute little one's multiple colors.

[@st0n3p0ny]

The innards sounds like prime crawfish bait to me.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

thumbs up for the shout out to Mom

[@killersteven1991]

Just wanted to say hello from Australia, love the videos please keep them coming.

[@ED-eh6iq]

This looks so much better than the people who keep them in tiny plastic trays!

[@peytonkieninger4236]

just rescued 2 female quail from a butcher i found on craigslist. they make amazing pets🥰

[@bryerlyfarms4057]

Hi! How do you keep the nighttime predators away when using a chicken tractor?

[@kathysparks6338]

Thank you for the quail update, they are so cute, I hope you are all doing well, God bless

[@jillyd2807]

You look like you must be feeling good, Jason!!! 😃

[@chelemichele1524]

Bet they will happy out there... Have a good day 🌻🌻🌻

[@Dee.C]

Chicken soup for the pigs .

[@adamsaunders4712]

The production on this one was amazing

[@marciannaprice1882]

We hope to add quail & rabbits next year... have less than a 1/4 acre for both.

[@margaretbedwell58]

The quail are good & healthy looking. Since you have a lot of chicken and pork, maybe think about selling quail eggs. You could expand the flock a bit with some of the eggs then you would have enough to sell at a farmers market. Just a thought. Have a Blessed day.

[@dr.rev.lindabingham]

Blessings to all!

[@maryjemison1101]

Good the pigs love ❤️ 🐷 Chicken 🐓 Broth Nice Shirt 👔 Baby Quail 🐥🌻🍁🍂

[@karlaellis663]

Used to raise quail and they start laying about 6 weeks of age.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

5:09 LOL I’m listening to your video in The background at work snd I heard you using your impact drill. I’m using my Dewalt impact rn too 😂 threw me off for a second because I knew what that sound was 😂😂

[@nocturnaldaisy6181]

Awe. Nice shout out to the momma Jason. Nice shirt mom. P.S. Yesterday I watched you build the Rhodes greenhouse for them. LOL. (Still catching up on their old videos.)

[@melissaatwood2998]

Cute quail!

[@pattyprice2644]

There pericous

[@jaket8947]

Give them a dust or sand bath for sure, they'll need it and it's fun to watch them play in them.

[@kathydavie7004]

The quail don’t do good if they get wet when they are little, my sons all got wet and he lost some! He put them under heat lamp to dry

[@sharonbrown2352]

Nice shirt- good job mom! 💕

[@TheEmbrio]

Quail are so cute !

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

BTW, I love your intro music!

[@quiverfullmomma137]

Love our quail. I'm just getting ready to hatch out 100 more eggs

[@corybennett9758]

They are great egg layers. I had 5 female and they laid everyday plus one a week would lay 2 in one day.pickled quail eggs are delicious to

[@mishalea]

Shirt looks nice on ya, Jason! 👍👌 Take care!🐤

[@I_Am_Michael]

turning chickens into bacon. awesome.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Watched your previous Quail video, the Quail farmer and heard how they are dispensed . . . they say there is an old quail story, as such, that goes about the quail community and that's why they are so nervous when humans pick them up. Great video, pulling that chicken tractor up hill looks hard. Cheers.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

the biggest message I got from that nice lady was you have to build your quail house high enough so they don't break their necks when they fly upwards.....

[@tropicallivingoverseas5202]

The best use for quail is bite sized pickled eggs. The absolute best snack. I didn't care for the effort required for so little meat for the same work as chickens. I do miss my quail!

[@ariellelionessofYah]

This is awesome! I’m looking in to getting some quail. I love your tractor! That’s exactly what I needed to find b/c we want to raise ours on pasture too. Definitely subscribing🥰

[@afrlala3593]

They are so colorful. Love it.

[@darkrises7811]

i think it will be a fun adventure

[@darthyetgon]

You can also take the guts and put in a black soldier fly bin to feed your birds

[@SowtheLand]

Or feed to pigs

[@Limogi]

Quail like sand. If you could put the quail tractor on half sand galf grass they will thrive. They nest in sand.

[@chrisleiser1013]

You're going to want to keep the females and a male or two for eggs. They are really healthy eggs (have fun doing a little research). When you are ready you can hatch eggs to provide more meat. Quail are wonderful and easy to keep.

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Lovely.

[@williammatthews2948]

Good luck with the quail.

[@Jimmywuu636]

Dab some lock tight on your water cups.

[@virgiljenzen249]

I'm curious to know ow how the broiler is doing with the hens?

[@9realitycheck9]

I love Quail... mmmm delicious

[@seangere9698]

Just an FYI you should add a box for them for when you move the tractor. If there's any gap they might be able to get under they will try. I hope the tractor setup is working for y'all.

[@SowtheLand]

uh oh, too late.

[@user-wu8ks2em3s]

How did this tractor end up working for you guys? How does the Chick lift work? Would love to know more about what you liked and what you'd do differently.

[@EriktionEBW]

I hope the pigs appreciated the cooked guts!

[@lindaransom3013]

Quails can get thru chicken wire easily. 😁

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

You will love the taste of quail I'm sure!

[@julianjulez46]

Hello from Mills River North Carolina I'm jealous would love to be doing what you're doing! be SAFE

[@joshuapereira3787]

GOOD MORNING BEAST Jason snow the land KZbin VIDEO CANADA ONTARIO Mississauga TRANSIT 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍀🍃🍃🍃🍃

[@rsoubiea]

i hate the noises the pigs make while eating. now i get it now mom! chew with your mouth closed and do not smack! lol

[@jdp6ofus]

My teen daughter feels the same way when she hears our pig eat. But she's oblivious to her eating sounds - lol.

[@ronlaporte2898]

If you kill some quail for meat don't run them through the chicken pluker , it will rip them apart !!! They make tiny ones for quail .

[@nocturnaldaisy6181]

This was discussed in his previous video. 🙂

[@thaliahelene]

A lot of people just skin them instead. Peel them like taking off a sock. Very quick.

[@quiverfullmomma137]

We process out the males but keep a couple for breeding and then hatch eggs for growing our flock and eating

[@lova368]

Ong, all the greenery is your yard??? This is very ideal to put some big coop with distance.

[@melissachase2997]

I raised quail, we found they were pretty messy. We boiled the eggs and pickled them. Perfect bite size. But if we did it again, they would be for food not for their eggs. And your pigs look great!!

[@dixsigns1717]

I also refeed all that protein.

[@garyisbell4767]

Try them with green fried tomatoes .

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Slurp slurp 🤢how can bacon taste so good? Next spring we want to get into quail. Enjoyed your video. Have a super blessed day, lisa@moneypit homestead

[@reneebrown2968]

They lay eggs at 6-8 weeks. They produce alot and i mean ALOT of eggs.

[@greenacrebirds]

Pig!! I love chicken. run to the chicken pigs run to the chicken 😆

[@MsCaterific]

💚

[@mneraasen224]

Quail are adorable 🥰 I watch Garden answer and Laura had ground some abandoned quail eggs in her garden bed. So she had her friend incubate them. Well then the sheriff knocked on her door and the set the quail free at 3 days old because it is illegal to mess with wild life in Her area. So they basically killed them 🤔🥺🤦‍♀️ zero Points here for not actually protecting the wild life in this case😣

[@russellhorner4950]

Coturnix Quail are not regulated like Bobwhites and others native to US. They are from Japan.

[@soswanson9120]

Depends on the type, typically, (Japanese) Cortunix Quail aren't governed like bob white and other types of Quail.

[@TheChittys]

I think I wouldn’t of connected the doors. And went in and out the top half. It would help the quail from running out. My quail liked the cup drinkers best. But quail are by far the easiest to butcher of all the animals I’ve had.

[@roberthermsen724]

Jason when it comes time to process the quail are you going to put an in-depth video on abundant plus. I raise quail and can’t find a good video that shows how.

[@patriciacunningham6839]

❤

[@elizd9952]

If you trim their wing feathers they won't fly away.

[@gardeningperth]

How would you cook quails?

[@glenbbqdavidson7131]

Love ya work! We're not alowed to feed animal products (or any veg that has been on the same plate as meat) to pigs over here in Aus. Your pigs look pretty happy and healthy to me.

[@Specogecko]

Quail are awesome, they’re like chickens except a lot more stupid.

[@ryanthebarber]

Try a coffee can for water

[@robertconyers5151]

Jason your mom have great taste how is the chicken U-Save did they get along Grace and peace to sow the land

[@winterfoxx3181]

👍🏻

[@meganhartzell9834]

Do you have plans on keeping some breeding stock or are you processing them all? Our first quail came home yesterday and we're interested in how others are conducting breeding programs.

[@sandrafarley7967]

they need hiding spots in their coop

[@ohske]

👍👍👍👌

[@millyjays]

I can't seem to get my chickens to drink from those cups drinkers. how do you do it?

[@debbie2663]

🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@feistygirl75]

Do you have building instructions for the brooder?

[@ernestwrabon2115]

Watch for snakes, they may come through the wire.

[@leslieallen463]

Jason, where did you get that coop door??? Or did you make it yourself??

[@jenniferr2057]

It's not gross! I've never met a while animal that got it and item before they ate it! No judgment here.

[@amandahartung6287]

Do you have to cook it?

[@patrickbarber8187]

What kind of quail are they anyway

[@RickMartinYouTube]

the cute kind

[@andy38andrews96]

I believe that they are Pharoah quail, but they have other names too.

[@russellhorner4950]

Coturnix Quail they come from Japan.

[@soswanson9120]

Cortunix Quail, also called Japanese Qual. There are multiple color variations in the mix.
