I just processed my first quail last night based on your instructional video. Thank you!

Great job!

I’m culling all of mine and starting over….looking for good size stock… There’s one rooster in this bunch that is a dark brown color I might hold back and see if I can produce more. What are my chances of producing the brown and if I breed him with larger hens will the chicks take after the rooster in size or a large mama hen?

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

@@colene77 that's a hard call, but a certain percentage should exhibit of each of the parents traits. I would do some test breedings and hatches to see what you get.

@bobcole3852 11 месяцев назад

Great info, as usual. Thanks. Do you label or number your cages to accurately track them?

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

I do. Cages and individual units are numbered and quail get leg bands or zip ties.

@nickrock5761 11 месяцев назад

How do you determine when to butcher quail for personal consumption? Do you target a certain age in weeks or a certain weight?

@DoubleRFarmsAL 11 месяцев назад

Can you do a review of the Hatching Time Cages vs the wooden one in your build video.

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

Yep

@@CoturnixCornerPlease include whether you think the regular quail layers w/jumbo floor are actually roomy enough for jumbos. Would the 15” chicken or partridge cages be a better fit? The quail layer w/jumbo floor is on sale now. Trying to decide if those are perfect for jumbos or should I get a taller layer. Thanks!

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

@@scrapzwtf I'm using the standard quail cage with the partridge flooring, but I believe they now call that setup the Jumbo cage system. I would call HT and verify.

@whitetrim1 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! How about breed temprament? Does it vary by breed?

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

Temperament is something you can breed for. Some breeders lines are more aggressive than others, but with some selective breeding you can improve the line and the temperament. Color variety doesn't really make a difference. Some say that dotted whites are more aggressive, but it's not true, the dot on top of the head acts as a target and curious birds will peck at it. Once blood is drawn it becomes a free for all with the rest of the birds.

@eltee9547 11 месяцев назад

Good morning and thank you for being such a great quail resource. I live in West Broward County and was wondering if you sell live birds. I'm just now finishing my cage and will be ready for some jumbos soon. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

Not at this time, most of my live bird sales go to a local feed store. I may be offering breeding sets later in the year or early next year.

@cathalmire 11 месяцев назад

hi terry i have a hen with feathers miss on the lower back, would the rooster be doing that?

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

Most likely an overbred hen, totally normal. It could also be feather plucking if your birds are lacking in their diet. But, if you are feeding a nutritionally balanced feed I would think it is most likely breeding activity.

@ApiaryManager 11 месяцев назад

Have you noticed a correlation between egg weight and adult weight? I've seen over a 3g variation in egg weight even within lines. It would be nice if you could select which eggs you want to incubate.

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

I select eggs that are around 14 - 16 grams so they fit the turners. I have not noticed a correlation with egg size and final weight.

@ApiaryManager 11 месяцев назад

@@CoturnixCorner That's interesting. In effect, you're already selecting on egg-weight (although for other reasons) yet you still get under-weight adults (as seen in your video). In nature, you will always see some variation so selecting the "best" is the only way to move the polulation mean in the intended direction. Thank you. Interesting video.

what the maximun for the Bantam size,,,...wanna know, ha a small rosette, that´s alot smaller then the oters, so thinkng of making a Bantam line for pet keepers, that want a small coturnix but not as small as a bottum quail.

@thehazelnutspread 11 месяцев назад

Do you have a chart or advice for breeding so that I don't breed siblings or parent/children. I find I get mixed up trying to not interbreed them.

@CoturnixCorner 11 месяцев назад

I don't have a chart, but separating birds into cages by lineage will help you when it comes to selecting breeder sets. I do use cards on my cages so I know the parentage, age and origin of the growouts. Everyone has their own system for keeping track of their birds, you just need to come up with something that works for you.

@NimeeraDance 9 месяцев назад

Is this weight chart for hens only? Or for both hens and roos? Our girls consistently finish at about 320-450gm. Their brothers range 275-320gm. Occasionally there is a monster boy at 350-400. Bigger boys are heavier on the girls when mounting, so naturally the lighter boys are more successful at mating.

Yes, if there is more than one bloodline in the breeding group. If all are brothers and sisters I would use a different rooster from unrelated lines.
