Excellent video! I’m a newbie and M. preparing myself to get my first batch of hatching eggs to go on my quail journey for eggs and meat. Your video was excellent and very informative! Thank you so much!
So glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed it. Best of luck to you!
How would make this with liquid milk?
I honestly don’t know, I’ve never added liquid. I’m sorry.
I need help I found a baby quail in my yard and I want to know if it us ok can someone tell me if he/she is ok
Is there a brand name on the heater your using. I don't see the one your using on the tractor supply link.
This is an old video. Let me check on it for you and I’ll get back to you in just a bit.
I look the heaters up on Tractor Supply and I saw one that looks like mine but I have a better option for you. Follow this link: www.premier1supplies.com/p/heating-plates-and-covers?cat_id=232&ROI%29%20Heated%20Products%20-%20NB&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_j22gLVR0EoqyLwIUaU4-BnsUEK&gclid=CjwKCAjwqMO0BhA8EiwAFTLgIKW_bX9486gX79V-1_sM6K1-ZbsiFUxRmNZ0nOZL8mrvIi4LUNWOzxoCWs4QAvD_BwE. Premier1 is a good company and we’ve used them several times for poultry fencing, etc. and when I purchase another one, I will buy one with the domed top. It keeps the chicks from getting up there and pooping all over the place. They make such a mess.
@@SimplyMadeHomestead Thank You!
@floydburkett630 you’re very welcome!
Egg laws around the world are daft, we dont wash or refrigerator our eggs , the refrigerator part possibly due to climate differences, but our laws are the exact opposite and say the shell protects the egg washing is more likely to spread/encourage bacteria. Everyone has to follow their own laws obviously but it's crazy how they differ so much .
I agree with everything you said.
I thought the shorts were cool lol
What type of dogs are they?
We have 2 Pyre Poos, an Anatolian Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd mix.
this works and it was very usefull
So glad it helped.
He looks hurt.
For the record opossums Cant contract rabies
@@jaybrowning2225 technically they can but they are not a vector species.
No but they can carry diseases.
It is a young opossum and it is injured
Ew
It's hurt
When they can eat
The last thing you wanna do is mess with that possum. Just like raccoons possums don’t come out during the day. They only do it when they are sick and sick with things like rabies.
Possums can't carry rabies generally. Their body temperature is too low.
@@Floridanative22 that's absolutely untrue they cannot contract rabies
@@jaybrowning2225 I know possums cannot. I thought that after I said it, I don’t know why I said that raccoon scan, but that’s more or less what I meant.
@@jaybrowning2225 I had pet yet wild possums for years where I’m from in Florida. They were wild yet. They were like my pets almost like a stray cat lol they are a clean animal harmless. They just look scary.
Salen cuando necesitan alimento o agua
I have possums on my farm they dont hurt anything. That one looks hurt.😢
They eat chickens and ours were out free ranging.
@@anjellalo972 they do eat grown chickens. As for our chickens, they are inside at night. As for our dogs, good for them! Why, because animals can climb over and under fences to harm animals and our dogs protect them.
Are you a little blind dear sir? Because that’d be a nasty chicken if it’d grow wings.
It looks like an injured Opossum. Like teeth marks on its back. Opossums are gentle creatures
They eat chickens. We have chickens. We also have guardian dogs that protect our farm. They did their job.
Rabies would be my main concern...I like living in a country that's rabies free.....
Opossum have a body temperature that is too low to carry rabies. It's not impossible,but extremely, extremely unlikely.
@@labrat7380 lol... I still love living in Ireland... There's literally no wild animals, full NHS health care paid for by a national insurance system.
Opossum
Lived my whole life in the country and we always just call em possums lol
Yea, us too regardless of the official spelling, lol.
Raw eggs are a super food man... your wasting good clean food for the family
Thank you very much
You are welcome!
I bring my mustard and egg to room temp when I make my mayo. I don't have an immersion blender though and it looks so much easier than a hand mixer!
It is and you can find inexpensive on Amazon for about $11. I’ll have to try the room temp for the egg and mustard. 😊
Dang Good Video, think I’ll try your design.
Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to let me know. Let me know how it goes, I think you’ll love it 😊
Great tip thanks
So glad you enjoyed it.
I'm new to raising quail and have a question about their care. Are there any specific medical treatments, supplements, or vaccinations that young quail chicks need after hatching to ensure their health and proper development? Or do they generally not require anything beyond the normal (of course high-protein) feed (and maybe sometimes vitamins or supplements) throughout their lives -including before they mature into adults-? I hope you understood my question. I don't know if I said the question correctly. And if I didn't give them anything like that would it be fine and safe to consume their eggs once they start laying? I have been confused for a long time and have been searching for weeks, but I cannot find anyone talking about this topic. I searched for it in another language and found many videos they say that quails should be given medicinal things (I don’t know exactly what it is or the names, as I have no experience with these things). Also I've been reading the comments and I appreciate how you answer all questions in the comments section with very detailed explanations!
Also one more question I'm sorry. If I have a heating plate that doesn't have an adjustment temperature, how do I use it? I know that with adjustable temperature things like a normal red light bulb or a heat plate we decrease it every week by 5f til they're fully feathered but what about if it can't be adjusted? How do they use these?
All very good questions and my first suggestion is take a deep breath and relax. Raising quail are super easy and I have NEVER used any kind of medications. The first part of their life they do need a protein feed of 28% and then lowered to 22%. I’ve forgotten at what age it’s changed. We no longer have quail only because we now live on a bigger piece of property and have expanded in other areas. Needed to let something go. I have a playlist on raising quail that should answer all of your questions and more. I highly suggest watching them all. There is a lot of information in there from hatching eggs to butchering. The quality of their feed and the protein is what will keep them healthy. They also need grit. I add a small plastic pan in their cage with sand in it and they love it! They flap their wings and cover themselves with it which keeps mites away and eat it which helps them to process their food. Once again, I can’t stress it enough, watch all of the videos, you’ll love them. Quail only live about 2 years max and if housed in clean, not overcrowded conditions, they will live healthy and well. Like any poultry, sometimes they just die which won’t be your fault, just nature. Sometimes they’re may be a bully that is just mean and likes to beat up on everyone. If you see that it’s time for him to go to freezer camp (eliminated) and replaced with a nice male. If you ever do see a wound, gently treat with wound care (blend of iodine and distilled water). If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I hope you enjoy the videos and have a wonderful day!
cool. I've been looking for exterior feeders
Im trying to build the watering system now. Im finding that no one know what male coupling and bushing system i should get to fit in yhe bucket. It would be really helpful if you were specific in the measurement for that...and showed a picture of the parts up close. Otherwise I think I've got everything else figured out and bought, just gotta assemble.
Here is a link to the coupling and bushing: amzn.to/3V80ypa Sorry I wasn’t more specific.
Thank you for sharing. 💖
You are so welcome
Hi Marian, thank you for sharing the M & P method of making soap…I am going to try it ..I am also interested in making soap for my husband and he too likes the manly scents…can you share the blend of essential oils that you use and enjoy pls…
They are always changing and evolving but if he likes patchouli, a patchouli and orange is yummy. I don’t have an exact ratio as I add orange to a cup and then scent it with patchouli until I get the smell that I find pleasant. Eucalyptus, spearmint, peppermint are all good clean minty scents too. If you go to www.eocalc.com/ you’ll find tons of blends there. I love this website and it’s a big help. Another one is pink grapefruit (80% of the scent) with a little litsea and a tad patchouli. Have fun!
Exactly what I was looking for. To build a fence with the same cattle panels, how far apart do the t-posts need to be? I'm using a total of 2 panels, gate included. Also, how to attach this gate to t-post rather than wood? Thanks so much for the easy instructions!
Glad to be of assistance! How to attach: I had some heavy 9 gauge wire that I made a loose fitting loop with. You could remove the barbs from barbed-wire fence and use that too. You could even use rope, but that would be just a temporary hinge. Now to keep the gate closed I put a 1” pvc pipe into the ground where you want it to be closed and attached a straight metal rod to the gate. This will secure the bottom off the gate. And finally I use another piece of wire on top of the gate to fasten it to the fence. As for the spacing, I am not exactly sure what you mean so forgive me if my answer is off a little. While putting up the panels as a fence, I will use 3 T-posts for every panel section, but overlapping each panel by 8-10”. This way two panels will share a Tpost. So if you are only using 2 panels together, that’ll be 5 Tposts. But it will depend on what you’re using it for. I also have 350-400# hogs and place an electric wire on the inside to keep them off it. I hope this helps, I will try to send a pic of the gate for clarity when I feed the animals this morning.
I am unable to send pics or video through this chat. I did take a couple videos of various examples I did here for better clarification though. If you want them, text me at 423-888-7724 and I will send them to you. I am going to delete this thread tomorrow because of my cell number!
How are the chicks so calm? Mine go crazy when I open lid to care for them. They are two weeks old. I’m slow and gentle and talk to them.
They probably just need more space. They are very flighty little things and at 2 weeks they are very active.
I have 10 quail I found them in my yard
They’re wild. I wouldn’t cage them.
thank you maam 🤍
Ison's Nursery was a great help in getting mine started this year here in Alabama!!! Wonderful group of people to work with!! Yours look great by the way!!
Yes, we love Ison’s.
😆
Kids are hilarious and adorable
Hi! Thank you for the directions on building the quail cage, super helpful! What do you use for your dust baths? Sand? Dirt? It seems to be pretty pricey if you buy it specifically for quail, just looking for some ideas. Thank you again!!
We live in Florida so I just used sand out of the yard. But you can use builders sand that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Use to it wasn’t very reasonable to purchase but I haven’t priced it in a long time. Use a kitty scoop to clean the pans and then just freshen with a little sand. It should last a good while for you. Thank you so much for watching, we love having you along.
How long are you supposed keep rocks in the water dish. Because I have had my quail for like a week now and they all are pretty big so I don’t know if it is safe to take the rocks out yet. Also I just want to say you video has been a life saver and something I go over a lot when I have questions so thank you for your help.
I’m so glad you’re finding the videos helpful 😊. As for the rocks, just use your best judgment. They do become mobile quick so take them out and see how they do. If they are climbing all in there and getting wet so may want to leave them for another week. You just don’t want them to get chilled because they can die quick.
Mine are 7 weeks and I am not seeing the line vs the knot, they are all circular... what am I doing wrong is it too early?
It will become more obvious over the next week. And if you gently mash on the little poochy part and white stuff comes out, that’s a male. Rewatch the video and keep looking. Even after doing it for awhile I’d miss a female and suddenly have an egg in the pen. That would totally freak me out and my husband and I both would be on a major hunt until we found her. Even then sometimes another female might turn up. Don’t be hard on yourself but keep a close check on them. You’ll be fine.
@SimplyMadeHomestead thank you!
@@HA-zx2pk you’re very welcome. 🌻
You're video made it so quick for me to figure it out! I dreaded having to do this because I thought you had to squeeze each one of their areas. 😬 One look told me, no squeezing, saved them from the humiliation. Lol.
I’m so glad it helped. Thank you joining me 😊
Hey! The first video I saw was you building your quail coops and wearing the Boston zip up hoodie. I thought cool! A possible Bostonian like myself! This morning I am watching your videos and this one states gardening in central Florida! I said what a dang coincidence! I also live in central Florida and love gardening too! I’d love to be able to see your homestead! Have a great day! I am enjoying watching your videos!!
We lived in upstate New York for a few years and I really enjoyed visiting Boston and getting my fill of seafood that I missed so much. Plus, Boston was such a pretty city and we always had such a good time. I’m so glad you’ve joined us and I hope you continue watching and benefiting from our videos. Happy homesteading!
Hi thank you for the video. What is the gauge of the wire?
A 9 gauge wire. I know TSC has it, pretty sure Lowe’s and HD does too.
Thank you
You're welcome
