Going out to check on the health and condition of the quail in the backyard - it snowed quite a bit, and I had to dig out a path, but that’s to be expected when raising quail in the colder regions during winter months. Snow is everywhere!
I made sure to check out a few specific things, including any signs of frostbite or fatigue. The quail do eat the snow that is surrounding them, but fresh water is still required.
It looks like it will be a good idea to move the quail from the upper level of my hutch to the lower level with the others. Usually I would spray them all down lightly with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water, but since it is winter I don’t want to get them wet at all. I’m just taking my chances and hoping they get along. I’ll definitely update you guys on that in a future video!
Coturnix quail do great in the winter as long as they have a place to go to avoid the wind. They (the quail) are very hardy and will surprise you with how resilient they are to harsh conditions! If you live in a colder region, and you’re looking to raise your own source of protein, the Coturnix quail is a safe bet!
