What Type Of Quail Should You Raise?

If you are thinking about raising quail, you may be asking what type of quail you should raise. That really depends on what your goals are with raising them. In this video I cover several different species of quail and why you may or may not want to raise them.
Check out some great information on Mountain quail and Mearns Quail at Keith's Quail - / keithsquail

Thanks.

[@Camelotsmoon]

I don't get why native birds require permits and nonnative don't. You'd think bringing a potentially invasive species into the country and raising one would be more of a risk.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I think the thought is to stop people from catching wild birds and trying to raise them. On another note, there really is very little threat of Coturnix becoming invasive. if one gets loose it is lucky to live more than a day or two before it is killed by some other native wild animal. But I get your point.

[@simontheyers801]

If native animals were allowed to pets it would mean more of them...great example is the sugar glider.. it's rare in it's natural habitat..Australia.. but in the USA there are heaps of them as pets...

[@EchoLog]

@@simontheyers801 I agree, this is where I morally stand. Just because some things need to be uprooted, prevented from fruiting, not allowed to escape its terrarium, or not be near children - doesnt mean nobody should be allowed to have them. So catching a local bird that's "of least concern" in population numbers and are a harmless food source... should be... Fine....

[@simontheyers801]

@@EchoLog not talking about eating... more saving rare animals.. but yes as far as Australia is concerned..kangaroo is a much better protein than beef for our environment.. they are drought resistant and breed faster than cows.. meat is leaner..but good as beef

[@EchoLog]

@@simontheyers801 and native turkeys or hogs or deer are adapted to the regional environment better than something not native. Always do research on what you can and can't do legally where you are, but what's more important is knowing how nature works and listening to the land. Too much of agriculture these days is cought up in red tape and politics. Lemme keep a goat! Screw your HOA! Anyway.. you from Australia? Seen a monotreme before? Little egg laying bastards so cute

[@jesuschristismylordandsavi6108]

You forgot to mention one of the most important things why homesteaders raise quail. coturnix quail are a dark meat quail and the others you named are white meat quail. Many people do not like white meat or do not like dark meat. I personally like both. I have raise coturnix quail along with Bobwhites, California Valleys, blue Scales, and Coturnix. If I were starting out, I would start with Coturnix Quail. I quit raising coturnix due to my wife not liking dark meat birds. I also raised dove but like I said she never like dark meat birds. God bless you and Yes I love your videos.

[@TheRainHarvester]

Is dove white meat? What is a good bird to raise for white meat?

[@jesuschristismylordandsavi6108]

@@TheRainHarvester ------- Dark Meat Birds: 1. Coturnix Quails 2. All Doves 3. Chicken Legs and Hind Quarters White Meat Birds: 1. All Quail except coturnix quails 2. Chicken Breast and wings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I personally love Quail (not coturnix) because of the tenderness of the meat. I raise Bob Whites, Blues, California quails. I used to raise Coturnix quail but stopped because the meat is dark and nowhere close to the flavor of the other quails. If you want white meat birds in bulk then I would advise raising a breed of Cornish hens. Go to a site like "Meyer Hatchery" and choose the birds you want to raise.

[@kevinbaker6168]

Glad you brought up the permit issue for some breeds of quail. The same thing applies to releasing them. If you pen raise a number of quail and release them your results for increasing the population can be poor at best. As pen raised birds are not as wary of predators and acclimatized to surviving without provided shelter, cover, food and water they generally do not live long enough to repopulate an area.

[@SageofCancer]

I'm just spitballing here but couldn't you create artificial predation to teach survival instincts? Use like a puppet or remote controlled thing, or maybe one of those rolling balls with the weasel tails at first.

[@carriebecker8383]

@@SageofCancer that's an interesting idea... maybe have a large quail pen, release a couple cats in it when they reach maturity, whatever's left at the end of 1 week earns its freedom? Cats get fed, quails repopulate, I eat a few eggs, everybody's happy

Great video Chris thanks for all the info. I raise both Coturnix and bobwhite quail. The coturnix like you said has a much faster turn around time, plus their eggs are bigger and prettier,but that’s about all I like about them. The bobwhite on the other hand does take a lot longer to grow but I think it’s worth it. The meat is more white and taste better in my opinion. The birds are way more vocal and their dropping’s are smaller which makes a little less of a mess. As far as aggression it’s been about the same with the coturnix and bobwhites for me. I had over 250 bobwhites in my ground pen last summer and they all got along pretty well. Thanks again for the video, I started watching your channel before I got my first quail so it has been a big help.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Thanks so much for your input. I haven't raised bobwhites myself (hunted plenty of them when i was younger and they were more plentiful). It is good to hear from an experienced raiser. Sounds like, in actuality, they are pretty much the same as the coturnix on housing requirements after all.

Chris, love your videos, they have taught me a lot and have inspired me to learn more. One quail you missed was the California or Valley quail....it looks almost exactly like a Gambel's but the breast feathers are penciled (like some chickens) and it has dark brown on the head instead of a more orange color of the Gambels.....but they are easy to confuse. I saw what I thought were Gambels quail when we were around White Bird, ID (dry area that funnels you through a river valley). The clutch was running on the road, about 10 of them, and they wouldn't get over so I could pass!! It was around sunrise....eventually I had to pass them (we were the only ones on the road) and that's when they took to the air for a short distance....was neat to see though. So, California quail, they are nice and pretty too.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Oops. you are correct, I forgot about those. I am sure that there are a few others I missed too.

Just a quick suggestion... something to think about. If you were to add some windbreaks I’ll bet you could fit a couple of rabbit hutches under the quail cages. It looks like the maintenance might be a lot nicer to deal with in that location.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Good thought. I don't want to add them under the quail cages but back behind them is a thought. If I can find enough people to come over and help me move them then I think I might do that.

[@ruthannjones5873]

The was the reply I received. Not what I thought, but still interesting. ========================== Thank you for reaching out! The Dorothy Chapman Fuqua Conservatory used to house both Gambel's Quail and California Quail. Both species had some breeding success in there, although neither is endangered. I'm sorry to say your tour guide may have been misinformed about the purpose of the birds, which were primarily there as "integrated pest management", working alongside the frogs and geckos as a natural way to control insect populations and keep the plants healthy. Unfortunately, while the adults did fine, the conservatory didn't prove to be an entirely safe environment for the chicks, so we stopped encouraging them to reproduce. The adults lived out their full lifespans, but we have not introduced more as we hope to eventually introduce a more rainforest-appropriate bird in the future. ===============================

I'm planning on buying 12 - 20 different types of Coturnix Quail. I have recently watched one of your older videos about how many quail can you keep in your cage. You talk about if you have your quail on the ground it's more likely they can get diseases or parasites. I want to have my quails on a caged open grass land with a hut in my backyard. I'm planning on mixing some chicken sand with some diatomaceous earth and putting that mixture in the hut. I heard that can kill any kind of parasites that go on the quail. So my question is if I mix in diatomaceous earth with chicken sand will that help eliminate the chances of my quail getting any parasites or diseases? Also keep up the good work. These videos about quail are really helpful.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Honestly, I think the DE is more dangerous than most of the parasites out there. There is a higher possibility of them getting parasites or disease by being in contact with the ground but that is highly dependent on your area. It may not be an issue at all for you. I definitely would not put down DE though. That can do a lot of damage to your birds respiratory system.

Quail are so cute!!! In Finland we have mostly grouse. The largest is ofcourse the capercaillie! Some of these grouse are just beautiful. My favorite is the black grouse, because of the shape of the male's tail and their calls and other sounds. My friend got recently a hunting licence for grouse and got me some capercaillie and black grouse meat and it's simply delicious. Miles better than your typical chicken or turkey. When I will be an adult I will probably start raising my meat, because I don't really like the meat industry, but I still think meat is a natural part of a human's diet. I am wondering can a japanese quail take a finnish winter? It often gets over -20°C. Btw you just earned a subscriber! :)
