***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

? QUESTION: When you start selling quail at the farmers market, will you also offer classes for processing the birds? I'd be interested in learning how to process quail with a "hands on" type of class. As a suggestion, you could always rent a place away from your farm so as to keep your family's privacy (I fully understand privacy issues). Love your channel. You guys are great teachers😊
It is fairly easy to process quail. The internet is full of videos.
💖
I would appreciate a video on that also. The way Kevin explains things just works for me. Thank you Kevin.
Kevin and Sarah it's really exciting seeing the things that you are doing on the Homestead. I think that there are other Homesteaders that could take a chapter from your book so to speak. I've noticed how some that have created UA-cam channels as part of their homestead journey and income stream sort of become totally dependent on UA-cam as the income source unlike what you are doing. From the the time I was introduced to your channel it seemed to be a indication by the two of you that not only did you what to grow your own food sources you also indicated that you wanted grow your homestead into a business for your families needs financially and I can only say how impressed with your every calculated move in the direction of making those things happen! From your UA-cam content and quality of videos too planning, prepping, growing, harvesting and storing the foods that you are growing or raising. The two of you have really managed the business end of planning and increasing the very well in my opinion. I also noticed as l believe how you have really humbled yourselves in the good times and during the pitfalls of homesteading as you always seems to recognize your many experiences and blessings ☺️👌🙏💕. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and perspectives with so many. I'm hoping that one day Homestead's such as The Fit Farmer, Homestead Heart, Growing up Holt, Grow Family Network, Art & Bri, Hollar Homestead and a few others might make your acquaintance because like you they are also unique and amazing people. Although some of their channels or Homestead have run into a quite a few challenges and in my opinion they're not reaching their greatest potential for success or growth on UA-cam in the Homestead Community. So until the next video! God bless.
I think the cages you built are so much nicer than the manufactured one.
definitely
Wynola Ranch in CA???? He and I sold back and forth! Wow back when.... he was starting cage production! this is so awesome. full blown business.
I have NO DOUBT that you two are fabulous PROBLEM SOLVERS!♥️👏🏼👍🏼
They are the best of the best!
You're getting me interested in raising quail now. I'm surprised how calm they seem to be.
I would keep three males of the small hen groups. Then rotate the males for the first few hatches. Give each a hen or two to start with. That will keep your genetics pool as broad as possible.
This was one of my favorite videos. I learned so much about quail. Looking forward to more quail videos.
Kevin I like the way you handle these birds firmly with compassion. God Bless.
You both are wonderful Godly people but I have to admit I miss the videos of farm chores and what all is changing with the farm and future changes. I enjoyed those and it is what drew me to the videos. I have no use for the training videos, but I'm sure many need and want them. It seems that is all you do now. God Bless you and all you do hoping you bring back some of the other videos though.
I am sure that weather conditions play a factor in what he does & when. It is hard to be out in the freezing cold making videos.
We are so happy that you are enjoying your stacking egg trays! We love watching your videos and seeing our trays pop up made our hearts so happy and full of joy! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you guys!
Beautiful birds. We had wild ones. Loved watching the moms taking the babies for a walk. They were all in a line. 🙂
Kevin and Sarah what a great and informative update on your quail egg and meat start. Y’all are always the best at teaching what you’ve learned, thank you both. Much love to all ❤️🙏🇺🇸
I showed my husband your video about mistakes, and failures and it really encouraged him. Thank you.
I don’t know why I avoided watching this video for so long!!! This answered so many questions for me. Last year I studied your garden techniques and my garden was the best yet. This year we are adding quail and in the next fall/winter rabbits. Thanks for all you do! Can’t wait to say, “we produce Living Traditions Jumbo Wilds!!!”
Must be nice to have a big space to work on your projects. Your cages look great, don't need to order any others. Just DIY them. Great quail lesson.
Hey Gang, Kevin, GREAT posting, educational and informative, Sarah great camera work lol, God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work XOXOXOXO love U guys
Sometimes when you are vent sexing you may find foam but it will really be a hen that was recently bred by a male. You will also only get foam when the males are fully mature. Males usually start crowing at about 5 weeks of age. Males also have the habit of breeding other males which sometimes can be confusing at first.😃Thank you for showing in detail how to do the wiring for the light. I wouldn't have had a clue how to do it otherwise.
Hey y'all, these are very interesting videos. I am seeing other channels that are just starting with quail and if they ask for questions I do refer them to your channel to look for all the different quail videos they have and to ask you questions. It is always fun when someone tells me they watched a video and thanked me for pointing them your direction. I love how the different weather seasons can bring an end to one farm activity and lead into another to a period of time. God bless y'all take care bye for now
That scuff on your knuckle reminds me of my dad and brothers. Good hard working men. Farmer hands. 🙂
Kevin, You have made nice cages. Your carpentry skills are professional looking. I can't get past what a tiny cage they live their whole life in.
Love the way the Quail set up is developing. Keep the videos coming 😀
Good for you! Very interesting. Not a dull minute on the homestead. Congratulations!
I love your videos. They are always so filled with valuable information. Thank you for sharing
Love watching your quail videos I’m hatching out 30 of them right now…great video.
Thank you for all the detail info. Very helpful.
So much fun watching you working with homesteading things that you are really passionate about. So much great information. Thank you.
very nice looking quail!
Thanks for sharing with us Kevin and Sarah. Great information. Fred
Hello from Germany, because of you I bought my first quails. 😁
Just an FYI the light rings can be picked up at 5 below, for $5. Thought I'd let ya'll know if anyone was looking to purchase any.
Are you going to show how to process and how to cook the quail?
That first set of birds you pulled out were beautiful. These and chickens are the two animals I can see myself raising.
Thanks for another outstanding, educational UA-cam video. Top notch quality, and content. Great job. Barry, Canyon Lake Texas
When it’s time for dinner show us viewers your favorite way of serving them. 👍
Your quails are beautiful ... I've never seen white ones. Great tutorial ...
Thanks for the great information. Just learning about Quail and your channel is the reason I'm getting ready to start in the spring.Have the Brinsea you recommended, now researching cages and brooders. Informational videos are great for me. God Bless
Nice! Cages look great! Thanks for sharing Kevin! Hugs to both of you!
Wanted to say thank you for sharing your lives and experiences with us. We learned and saved from your sharing. We wish you and your family the best.
I know nothing about quail. I know a little now-Thank you!
Hello .. thank you for making this videos. You guys are inspirational to Many....❤
I love seeing your quail . What a great tutorial for those that are interested in raising there own. You did a great job of explaining the whole . I can’t imagine the chase if one get loose. Lol you guys rock. Blessing to you both and your families.
use a fish net
To be honest catching them hasn't been too big of an issue for me when mine get out. They seem to relax right after they land and stay still for a bit. Though one time one managed to fly over to a neighbors yard and seemed to instantly regret his decisions in life. He kept trying to come back through the fence towards me, lol. We had to get a smaller ladder to go up and over and fetch him since the fence was too weak to clamber over. Luckily he picked the yard without dogs to go into 😅
The egg roll out feature is amazing
Very interesting watching as you raise quails. Thanks again for sharing.
Fun, I breed parrots for 30 years. one of the best things i put in the buildings was a central Vacuum system, the dust is so bad. Put a big shop vac outside and run PVC pipe where i wanted outlets, used the very fine saw dust for bedding in the trays so not to plug the pipe, outside i made a top for a 95 gal trashcan, rolling ben trash can. Bird dust is a real problem for people and birds.. Love your videos. I sold allot of quail eggs to chinese restaurant they boil them and put in salads.
Did you have to get the NPIP to sell, where your at??
just caught your snapping turtle episode, so many comments to say.. first, andrew zimmern on the travel or food channel did several very funny, and informative episodes on preparing turtles. second, i went to college with a guy from the jersey pine barrens, and he talked about snapper soup, and he brought a can to show us, it does exist. third, when i was living in northern nh., there was a resteraunt owner who was from south jersey, and told him about a big snapping turtle i had encountered, and he said if i can catch one, he would make us a big batch of snapper soup. keep up the good work. john
Thank you! I love quail.
So many great tips from you both. I don’t raise animals for food but I’m beginning to think I could if I had to. Processing them wouldn’t be an issue as I used to be a butcher. I don’t believe you should raise animals for food unless you can process them yourself. X
Agree!
I agree
Why?
I traded some things -- i detested kill, defeathering my poultry, so the family that did my poultry got a percent of my animals for "processing" which they only did 75%. I did my mammals fine.
@@cathysteele924 because if the SHTF you need to be able to do the processing. I’m not saying necessarily under ‘normal’ circumstances.
Another great teaching video. Thanks for the info!
Morning! Watching yall and milking our goat 🐐 it's cold as heck this morning
Thank You so much Kevin for posting this video. I didn't know about these lights until you did this video and I just ordered my second one a few minutes ago. The first one arrived today just as half of the rope light I was using died, I am now changing all of my Quail lights over to these.
How very cool! Thank you Kevin for sharing your knowledge. Hello Sarah!
Thank you for sharing this step in the process. You make it look so easy (and it is). Looking forward to more videos on your journey. Can't wait to see you at the farmer's market with an additional item to sell along with the plants.
Wonderful info content Kevin! Thank you so much for teaching us all about quail and sexing! Your newly built cages are genius!
So enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing; I now have just begun hatching out my quail from eggs. Now it’s real and can totally relate. Your videos have been awesome and again Thank You
I love what you do! I grew up that way & it's a lost Art!
Hi hah that little guy is in love he surely has a great call so so cute love them
Awesome Kevin! Great video on the quail.
Beautiful Birds!!!
Great teaching video. My daughter is raising quail . This is very informative for her. God bless.
I have used a strip type white light in my quails as it covers more of the whole area at it is attached all around the space, just another alternative to adding lights.
Very nice explanation, great for beginners who want to breed quails.
I am catching up on episodes tonight (lol) and you were talking about lighting for the quail pen and although the ring light solution is great i use the led strip lights that are even lower wattage (would be nice for you being on solar) and can also adjust the brightness with the remote. Take a look into them they work great and being a strip you can run one for multiple stacked pens or side by side pens. Just giving another idea if it hasn’t been spoken or thought of. Enjoy!!
Wonderful information.
Great job and presentation Kevin. Thank you .
You could also look at Aquarium L.E.D's lights and submersible lights 5-10 watts, all different lengths, and what ever light pattern you choose will come on with a timer , not having to cut off the on/off switch.... just need a 110v 3 plug adapters... I just added an 44 - inch, 11 watts submersible white/blue tube light for 34.00, much smaller are less expensive...
Great Video gets better every time
Did you see the modifications on the cage floor on Terry's design? They are a game changer.
I loooooove that cage!!! Ours are on the ground which they and we enjoy but the eggs are everywhere and often kinda messy 😑
I have so enjoyed your videos and look forward to seeing more on the quail as you guys start selling them.
Though I doubt I will ever raise quail, I still learned from this video. I love the way you chronicle your problem-solving process. It encourages me to not give up when a problem presents itself in my life. Keep up the good work. Can you get to the point where the wire connects to the light? or is it a sealed unit? If you can, could you use the short, plug end of the wire and rewire the light? It would so you eliminate a splice and loose wire going to the electric outlet. You may already know this. I learned it as a bird watcher. When the males look different from the females it's called "sexual dimorphism"
Just loved this video, learned so much. You explain things very well Kevin, I appreciate it, thank you so much.😊
Wow you guys are just a wealth of knowledge, and classy at it.👍🏻👏😊❤️
Kevin, I know you limit what can be seen on your channel, due to UA-cam policies. I was hoping you could show the procedure of processing the quail.
I appreciate you and Sarah so much! Fantastic teachers!
Charles, Myshire Farm has a great video on processing. That’s where Kevin got his jumbos from.
@ Slightly Redneck, who Kevin led me too orginally, has video on processing his quail.
I was thinking of the under cabinet lights that you get for the kitchen and workshop would be great. Another option might be the accent rope lights that they use for the same thing, or on stairs in clubs.
Good morning, so happy to see a new video! Bless your happy homestead. 🥰❤
lovly birds.
Sara, & Kevin, you 2 amaze me as to how much you help each other, both always hands on with whatever!!! Keep up the good work! Sure can tell you al are 50/50💕
Hi from Syracuse NY everyone
You are so resourceful!
Good information. Thank you Kevin & Sarah. God Bless you all in Love. ( shared to f/b )
Nice start Kevin! Look forward to watching it grow.
You two make the best teaching videos!!
Awesome, enjoyed this video. 🐥🐣🥚
Hi Kevin cool eggs holders an there so cute now I taught you could use a a kind of troff for Rain on buildings just tip your cage a bit put have the troff cliped an the eggs would rolled in the troff now you need a little openging a safe way for friends not to get caught i used these for feeding my chickens very handy you add a piece of wood like kinda to end for close ends just a taught and the eggs are clean
Kevin & Sarah, another great video. I recently got 50 Jumbo whitewing pharaohs from MySHire Hatchery. They sent 10 extra, that apparently are jumbo Whites from your description, though 1 might be a Panda/ has a lot of black on its back. Mine hatched out about 8-9 of Dec. They started crowing about 5 wks old, i started getting eggs last week. Love those cages, but I'm not set up to keep indoors, My cages have to be outside . I am thinking of expanding to sell & process meat birds. Have a blessed day.
Thanks 👋❤️🙏
good job Kevin. old Marine Homestead God Bless
I love your teaching videos!!!! Thank you!!!!
How interesting that was. The cages you built look great. Can't wait to see you process some. Be safe, stay well.
Great demonstration and explaining!!! Ty!
So interesting! Good job, y’all!
thanks for sharing
Excellent informative video, thanks. Jim
Love your setup.thats what I've been thinking about doing.realy nice.enjoy all your videos.God Bless .
Very informative video guys THANKS A BUNCH. this video N the one with rabbits 🐇 makes me confident I'm capable of doing it.
That was interesting. Great video as always. Love ya.
Kevin, I wish you would weigh your birds! I would love to see which ones are heavier. I want to get hatching eggs from you and it would help me to know the weights! We always weight ours when we sex them to decide who to keep and who goes in the freezer. That way they are only stressed once. I use a plastic clear container with holes from Costco that grapes come in to hold them on the scale calmly. It works great! Please let me know the weights of the different kinds of jumbo quail! Thank you for all your help and info!!
Even if you only have 4 or 5 females to a cage, having an extra male to insert for genetic diversity would be a prudent idea. Good luck, be well. Blessings.
Nice explanations, Professor!
Awesome video brother I love your set up I have the same cages with the oil drip pan clean out tray and I love it
I also use the modified j feeder and get almost no waste love it as well
My jumbo wilds just started laying day before yesterday exactly 5 weeks old I have 5hens to 1male ratio I've also shared it on my channel
Thanks again
You did a great job explaining ty!!!
