Just wonderful, I've been looking for "quail indoors" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.

@Random Brandon ive watched at least 20 videos on youtube on quails and her comment is on majority of them, id say its her video shes trying to promote trying to take the light off the people that actually put in more work and effort to teach everyone

Unfortunately we live in an area with lots of coyotes nearby. Quails are not like our chickens, which are free range and return to their pens at night. Quails roam and fly off and would unfortunately get eaten :( However we are working on a large quail pen for these little guys to run around in so they won't be in the breeding pen for long :)

Fish And Chicks that’s a shame but at least your making them ,something bigger for them so that’s cool 😎 your two videos you have up are very cool and nicely made

The wild quail (the California) definitely need much more space!

I was saying the same thing , if I was stuck in a cage that small I'd go mad . think it would be better for the Quail not to be in a cage . especially if he wants to breed them

​@@highwinds71 Luckily, animals with less intelligence don't need as much enrichment to be happy, meaning their quality of life isn't impacted as much as it would be for a parrot, dog, or human. I'm not going to say a small cage without toys is ideal for any animal though.

bjsmith503 someone said it

bjsmith503 he also replied to another comment saying they can’t be free range or the coyotes will get em

bjsmith503 - at least people care enough to enquire. Most buy cage eggs today and don’t batter an eye over the treatment of animals. Nothing wrong with asking politely ....

Go back and listen to it. He said when those birds crammed in those factory farming style cages make eggs, then he will hatch them and then those birds that don't fit with the others will go in the pen he is building. (My guess is every bit as crowded as the commercial caging.) Never the sun on their backs or the grass under their feet. Sad. I am no vegetarian or vegan: I just HATE factory farming and make it a point to buy organic or certified free range when I can. Grass fed beef, too.

@@lmb2333 This particular species of quail like to be crowded in with their covey. It makes them feel safer and these birds have no skills whatsoever of protecting themselves. They are not a native species anywhere. They are bred from 5 or 6 different species to grow bigger and lay more eggs than your average quail. They can't fly more than 10 ft or so because of their heavy weight so can't fly away from predators very well. If they are given too much room they become territorial and start to peck each other. Once there is a blood spot on one of them they all attack that one and kill it so you don't put these quail in a cage with a lot of room if you want them to live. We too raise these types of birds and we feed them organic and if one looks like its not feeling well we give them oregano tea and pumpkin seeds which can cure just about anything that makes them feel bad. they have pretty colored toys in their cages that they like to play with and we have a radio playing in their barns with all their favorite types of music. You can tell what types of music they like by their reaction to it. We have raised this type of quail for many years so know that this guy is doing a great job so please don't give him mean comments unless you know what you are talking about.

European quails are so round, these ones look smaller.

You should see baby button quail... 1/3 that size, just as easy to raise. But they are too small to raise for meat/eggs, they are only pets.

@@gregs605 do they have pretty feathers?

The breeding pens specifically, it's just inhumane

Salmon Salmon fish if you’ve seen one of the top comments, he said that they’re working on making a large pen for them- they can’t let quails free-roam because coyotes may eat them.

Yeah but he'll still use the breeding pens, ik they can't free roam but why get them if he isn't going to properly look after them and treat them well

@@SalmonSalmonfish Sometimes you just don't think about every single detail before executing something

@@Johannesburgus sometimes I'm a terrible disgusting person

I’ve read that opening the incubator can jeopardize unhatched eggs and is also not good for the hatchlings. I really like his setup though. 👍

I was going to post this as well. They need a rough surface in order to get traction to walk, especially just after hatching.

I seen that too. Not sure if it is the same for quail as it is Chickens. We always started ours in a brooder house on bales of Peat moss.

Dont be so stupid . You would not fit into that small cage.

Quail birds doesn't need big cages.. they are very sensitive to their environment and they love to be alil tight to each other cos they feel safe..

I agree. It’s much too small and cruel. I’m not an animal rights activist or anything but these animals are being neglected.

The Broder only held 144 at the start. 💯🇺🇸

My brother Daniel pooped

@@Aouf1 haha

It looks like that but really there quite content and them being good with confinement was a big thing with there domestication so it’s really fine for them

yeah we tried having our quail outside in a big movable tractor with tons of space and it was terrible! They stop laying for any reason, have to use hardware cloth to protect them from predators. We could never see how each one was doing, whether they had health issues or not and the males fought more. Having them in smaller pens actually works much better and they are happy. I give mine sand baths which they love, and toys for stimulation.

I was thinking the same thing. He says he'll move them to a pen in one of the comments.

that is their life....very very sad! this guy is no better than the large scale chicken cages!

@@darcy5474 Sadly you're right. I guess another way to look at it could be that they aren't being tortured. Love your RU-vid name. My Instagram name is Luvgodscreatures2day.

Look at the top comment

Nothing in Particular *le gasp*

You need to keep the humidity at 40-50%, it varies depending on the type of eggs you are hatching. You should increase it for the last few days, it softens the shell membranes and makes it easier for them to hatch. Duck eggs need higher humidity, chicken, quail and pheasant need less.

@@gregs605 Actually quail need more humidity than chickens due to the thick membrane. If there is not enough humidity the membrane turns leather like and sicks to the bird making it almost impossible to get out of and many die if that happens. We keep the humidity around 80+% for our quail and lower for our chickens for the last 3 days. The first 14 days we keep it around 55% to 65%. We have to remember that different incubators can be different in the way they hatch. We have to treat our eggs in our GQF cabinet incubators different than we do in our Rite Farms cabinets. Each one holds temperature and humidity differently. That could be why you keep your incubator at a lower humidity than we do.

Bear Shit when they’re big enough to not slip through the pen

I raise king quail . Each week I lower the temperature . Start at 35 degrees Celsius then drop it to 30 degrees next week , then 25 degrees next week . About 4 weeks they do not need heat and can leave but do not put them in with already established quail as they get picked on. Social order thing !

@@cloakanddagger1 I agree. That is the best way. The only thing I would add is that if you are in a colder climate and putting them in an outside cage be sure that they are fully feathered which could take little longer and have a little place for them to go in to get out of the weather and cozy up. Its usually the top of their head and their belly that feather out last so people should be sure to check those places for feathers. Also, if you are putting them in an outside cage make sure the cage will not allow any predators to get in. Raccoons, opossums, fox, coyotes, wolves, even the neighbors cat or dog and many other wild animals are major predators for these little birds. Since these birds coo and talk all night the predators are definitely aware that they are there.

He lives in an area with a lot of coyotes, so he can't free-range them But! He's building them a bigger pen :D
