When to add new breeders and when to add new blood! All about Coturnix Quail 

Thank you for this much-needed information. This is all still fairly new to me, can you answer a lot of pertinent questions. Thank you for all you do and for all the wonderful content you post on this channel. I love the inspiration.

Thanks Zack! You always provide great educational information. We’re quite concerned about y’all with the February 2023 chemical “issue” up there in Ohio. Praying that you, yours and your precious animals are all protected!!! God bless y’all.

I am curiously considering adding quail to my tiny farmette. I really appreciate your informative videos.

Good information as usual. Was glad to hear about the male offspring switching which is what I typically do.

Fantastic info! It is something I have been wondering about introducing new blood recently.

Good information, thank you!!

Ha many cages!! Like for me I have to build a new small barn to fit 10 or more cages in! 🤔🤔

Subscribed and ordered my first quail eggs!

Very nice, super informative video! Well done! Keep up the good work

Thank you for this information!! My first batch are a year old and I've started to wonder when I need to retire them. Very helpful.

Thank you. Great, helpful information based on my recent question.

Great information!

Great info

Good information!!! You didn't ask for it, but I think a good way to improve videos is to show videos of quail and then narrate over them.

👍🏻👍🏻

??????Question???? When I get a bunch of eggs from you the first time. 170 every 3ish weeks or so. Then after the first bunch hatch I get another 170. Will all these be brothers and sisters? How can I get two different 170 eggs hatches from totally different perence from you??? Is this possible all from you??? These all will be jumbo wilds.... Thanks Zack.

Hey Zack, I enjoyed the video as always. I understand the need to change out the birds on some kind of schedule. I am looking to run 2 groups. I plan on changing out roosters 6 months and hens annually. My question is, how do I select the best replacements. Thanks, Ken

Thank you for this very informative video. I am learning to raise quails for five months now. This morning, I discovered a female quail dying from having an egg stuck in its rear too long. It’s the first time I have this problem with the hen. Is there a way to save the female quail when this situation occurs? Is there a way to prevent the egg from getting stuck? Thanks.

I’ve got three jumbo coturnix that are six weeks and 18 mix from pearls, jumbo and Egyptian that almost right at 4 weeks. So far I believe the three older ones to be one male and two female. So far only one is for sure crowing and loudly. When can I add more females from the other group to be safe for all of them.

"As always, great videos. Thank you very much for the wonderful information. I have a question- clarification. (My English is not very good) When you say that we should change the males every nine months or the females every one and a half years, do you mean (approximately) 10 months until they reach adulthood plus 9 months, and similarly for females? Did I understand correctly?"

So when you say you need to keep two cages can I hatch the eggs together or do I need to know which quail came from which cage and keep putting them back together?

Great information! I know you don't like chickens but does this rule apply to them as well when breeding them?

What would happen if the celadons mate with jumbos , because I think that’s what happened. So I’m now seeing prolapse issues cause you have a big egg but a small passageway !

The Hens and Roosters that you 'retire' from producing, are they okay to just process for meat at that point? I just ordered 50 hatching eggs from you guys the other day and am excited to get started on my quail!

Am I wrong by wanting to specialize in jumbo wild and jumbo white I only have the space for 9 cages and I think if I have to many breeds I won't have enough room

Good info., Zack. What is maximum age for taking Quail for meat?

When replacing male and female Quail are they just disposed of or any use for?

When do you start selling adults on your website? In a pervious video you talked about celadons. Will you be selling celadon hatching eggs soon?

Zack, I have 6 cages with 4 cages of 5 hens and a roo, and two cages with 4 hens and a roo. In order for me to change out the roos and hens I would need to collect eggs from one cage for several days and hatch those eggs by themselves. I would have to do it for for each cage to get different roos and hens to start over again. Am I right?

I'm just curious if you make your living with quail? Thanks for all the info!

Speaking of new blood, are yall booked out on jumbo hatching eggs for the foreseeable future?

I have 3 cages and they are all related, the breeder told me they are. I ordered eggs twice and then found out. Would this be a different problem?

Would it be even better to bring new blood in every year?

hello, where do you get the blue paper towels you use?

How deep do you build your brooder boxes

What is hatching true mean?

Do you feel there’s and advantage to crossbreeding
