Today we are building a new cage for our Coturnix quail. How many can fit in the new grow out cage? How many can we raise in a year to feed our family. Let's figure it out and see if they are worth the trouble.

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. 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.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Man I am really thinking about getting some quail. "Covert quiet quail" ... Our new neighbors already ratted us out to the HOA and had to get rid of our chickens that we have had for 3 years. Pretty sad when someone can't listen to a chicken in the morning, but I have to listen to their Chihuahua all day. God bless em

@Hippiecat67 5 лет назад

Quails do make noise just not as much as guineas.

You should attract some wild Hawks there is nothing they can do about a wild bird. Then your Chihuahua problem will be solved!

I used to breed quails. I kept 64 quails in one huge cage ( 60 females and 4 males ) we had 99% fertility. I found out if you raise the temperature by 2 degrees during incubation you will get more females than males. I always ended up with 85-90 females out of 100 eggs.

@keerthykumar9781 Год назад

Don't give wrong info. Temperature doesn't change the sex The experts suggest 4:1 or 5:1. 99% fertility is not possible over 15:1 ratio

@susanlance8179 Год назад

This is very interesting. Thank you for the tip.

@georgezink8256 4 месяца назад

Kinda hard to believe? I tried to keep I male with 10 females! My hatch rate took big hit ?,so I put 2 males, as an experiment? Not good til I had 3male per 10 females then I had 97 % fertility rate ? Maybe y’all were given them 4 That purple pill

@chickenlips8696 5 лет назад

Its okay to put 2 doors on your quail coop. But if you put 4 doors on it, It becomes a quail sedan....

Don't know if this will work but if you cut some pvc pipe to fit over the 2x2 supports you can remove the pvc pipe and wash it so you don't have to keep changing out 2x2's.

@shawnabailes2069 5 лет назад

I love my Coturnix quail. They are so much calmer, easier and faster to raise than bobwhite quail, which are the more popular quail to raise here in my part of Georgia. I had a hard time finding someone local with quail eggs for sale, but when I did, I was ecstatic. We have yet to finish our grow out pens, but that will be happening very soon, since I have quail eggs in the incubator now! We currently have 15 breeders, but I'm hoping to bump that up a bit with this hatch out, since there are a total of 10 people in our household. I'd love to have quail once a week... I guess I should do some nerdy quail math myself to figure out just how many breeders I'll need to make that happen! 😊

@JoshuaSmithHomesteader 5 лет назад

enjoying your channel and as a homesteader at the same level, it is nice to see you are keeping things real and simple. Cheers!

@phil.paulastocks2276 5 лет назад

Once you start to feed out the quail, would be nice to do a feed study like you did on the chickens. Would be interesting to see what that 6 quail meal costs.

@J3rs3yM1k3 5 лет назад

I'll second this request.

@stephaniejoyce6896 5 лет назад

Yeah I was thinking about that too. I don't believe they eat much, and can supplement a lot on garden/kitchen scraps like chickens. I'm assuming it's more economical to grow out quail, but I'd love to see the nerdy math on it too.

@MstresVampy 5 лет назад

Agreed

@mountainsidefarm8357 5 лет назад

Agreed. I do know pound for pound quail have a higher meat to feed ratio than chickens. There are tricks to keep the waste to a minimum though cause they can be wasteful little buggers!

@chrisduty2886 5 лет назад

They are messy eaters, but I figured mine, which where 14 onz to 1lb live weight ate about an onz of feed per day each. I fed 20% game bird feed that I bought in 50lb bags. that works out to .025 cents per onz, or 1.42 per eight weeks. But you may want to hedge that by 20%. My average wight bird was 15 onz live weight. or about 10 onz dressed which works out to 14 cents an onz. unless you bumped the feed up 20% then its 17 cents. I added a extra onz in for the feed momma used on egg day. YMMV this was my experience and smaller birds may eat just as much and larger bird may eat more, but they really dont come larger than 16 onz. Courtunix that is.

@alursino3213 5 лет назад

Another great video!! I am so impressed with this channel, your content is always entertaining and informative. Very proud to have one of the very best homestead and self sufficiency channels as a neighbor. When we head to the beautiful Ozarks full time in the future, planning, prepping and homesteading will be so much easier with your family leading the way via the Living Traditions Homestead Channel library. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work. God bless and hope to see you round Bryant Creek!!

@TheChickenCoopHomestead 5 лет назад

Fix a cable to the top of the small door to let the big chickens out into their yard and run it up and around with eyehooks and pull the cable to open the door. My husband fixed me up and I love it. Like a gueetine.

So right about the greenhouse for a workshop in winter I use mine for that all the time. I think it would be cool to build one right on to my back door a heated yard and put in a heated swimming pool in. Dream on. Good vid, good luck with the quail and God bless

Our homestead is about a year and a half behind you guys. You have been so helpful. It’s like a learning process by elimination. We find what works and what doesn’t. We are about to get quail and pheasants. Thank you so much for posting all the helpful hints and ideas.

@derekmills5394 5 лет назад

Great little cage. Will you rotate out your breeders? How long would you keep a breeder before processing? Suggestions on your supports... 1. Install at 45 degrees so poo can be scraped off easily from underneath 2. Use pipe or even rebar instead of timber - set into a notch in the bottom frame. Can easily be turned for cleaning/scraping (pipe could be suspended on a screw in each end) It's so easy being an armchair expert! Good to see you had the scales there so you did not exceed your 10lb limit! - Just be careful and no 'twist and lift"

Love me some nerdy math for any homestead animal 😂 I had a hell of a time keeping the 1/2x1/2 floor clean with my quail. I had an easier time with rabbit cage flooring and the heavier gauge is easier on their feet. I’m going to try raising them in a pen with shavings and see how I like that.

@chrisbitonti4106 4 года назад

Hi! It's me again. One does not need a log fire and cast iron pan to cook in the outdoors. You need to take an empty coffee can, and light a candle under it. Of course, poke holes for ventilation and cook right onto the top of the can. If necessary, you can use cleaned sticks as your cooking tools. Also, catch and eat snakes. They taste like chicken. As always, Chris Bitonti

Awesome video, as usual. This is exactly how we built our rabbit hutches, just a little more heavy duty. We have been discussing adding quail to the homestead so I was happy to see your nerdy math. We are a family of 6 with growing boys so I'm sure we would need 8 quail per meal. so. much. food.

@c.j.rogers2422 5 лет назад

Just don't rip your rails (horizontals) down to 2" like this for your rabbits. They and their furniture are much heavier and need the support.

I haven’t watched all the way through yet - I can say with my limited and new experience - they are worth it - we haven’t harvested one yet but in the past 6 weeks I have hatched out 38 quail. And still have plenty of eggs. I started with 6 females and 1 male, and a $50 incubator 8 weeks ago. My hatch rate is about 85%. They are such sweet easy to care for birds. I am looking forward to harvesting some soon. Love your videos!!!!
