Are Coturnix Quail Loud Enough to Annoy my Neighbors?: The SR Quail Update 3-6-17

- I often get asked about how loud quail are and if they will annoy the neighbors. It really depends on a few things but for the most part they aren't any louder than the wild bird population. In this video I discuss and demonstrate exactly how loud they are my experience with my neighbors.

A lot of the people that complain about stuff like this have dogs that bark all day. They can leave their dogs out all day barking and put them inside when they get home, but have the nerve to be annoyed by some other sound when they're outside?
No kidding. I had a neighbor like that one time. Luckily my neighbors don't complain about much of anything I do now.
Jim Raynor I’ve seen this a couple times now. Damn Hippocrates lol
Your Awsome! God bless you for this thank you! I just got my incubator and have been incubating my quail eggs for the past 4 days now I've already kindled them and by using all your step to step tutorial guides on how to prep the eggs and get them ready for incubation I already see a fetus and veining in half of my eggs I'm so excited thank you again for your amazing tips and help! These videos are the best please keep them coming!❤🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🐣🐤🐥
Thank you so much for the kind comments. I am so glad that you are finding my videos helpful.
@@Slightlyrednecked absolutely my son started me into hatching eggs and I started doing research and saw the benefits of quails then started researching on UA-cam and I found you and sure enough your tips have really worked and I just can't wait till they hatch I'm so excited I have 14 days left and my kids are just psyched to see it happen!
Damm Chris u just answered my concerns with out me even asking. My birds just hitting maturity they are kind of loud now. Hope it gets over in a weak
Something to point out. You have a fair sized backyard. Suburban areas have a yard less than half that size.
I don't know about "less than half" but you make a good point. I do have a decent sized yard and that may not be the same for everyone else.
How big is your yard?
I actually have my quail in my bedroom right now and they aren't noisy at all. I could hear them in your clip but only because I love the sounds they make so it doesn't both me at all lol
I can't imagine having them in my bedroom. That would get messy and annoying pretty quickly to me. I am glad it is working for you though.
@@Slightlyrednecked I only have 3 right now so it's not that bad but I'm sure once the eggs hatch they will be moving to another part of the house really quick lol
Never knew mr clean knew how to homestead like a boss.
I guess that is a compliment? :) thank you for watching.
I love to listen to them talk =0)
When I got my first Quail it was a complete nuby mistake on my end, they were all roosters. Was able to get in contact with a friend and trade them out for some hens the next day.
My neighborhood is slightly more condensed than what you were showing. My only saving grace is that quail kind of sound like normal Birds. From a young age people are taught what a chicken sounds like. I'm sure not a lot of people especially those who don't raise animals know what a quail sounds like.
Good thing you had a friend to trade with. But like you said, i think most people just think they are normal birds calling.
I live next to a daycare on one side and an abandoned trailer on the other and nothing but woods immediately to all sides of adjacent lots. The birds are so much better to listen to than screaming little kids all day.
lol. I know what you mean.
I have young quail rn and chickens, my chickens are 1000x louder than the quail. Have a hen named Ren and she's so loud I'm debating if she needs to go to the stew pot(she also doesn't lay and can't be shown at all, plus she's a bully and part of the 3 hens that can't be with roosters). My roosters are fairly loud but we have lots of rooster in the neighborhood
lol...5 months later...has Ren been put in the pot yet?
@@Recoveringred not yet, my mom likes her so she's sticking around for a bit longer
hello steve from tampa how long does it normally take for quail to learn how to use poultry cups ????
about 15 minutes usually. :) I did a video on how to train them if it helps. ua-cam.com/video/-mPsfIdTLtQ/v-deo.html
I live in an apartment with garden, I think I will keep the hens out side and males one or two inside the apartment, to occasionally do their job. That way noise will be lot lower. Living in an apartment males maybe annoying for neighbours
You always put out good info. My question is...will a cockbird crow less if he doesn’t have competition and has a good number of females? I mainly want egg production. I raised before for eggs so when all my males reached maturity they also met the loppers. I have 24, 5 day olds now. I’ll have two separate runs so I can keep a cockbird separate with only 4-5 hens. All the other hens will be separate that way I know I’m only harvesting infertile eggs from that covey. Any advice would be greatly welcomed!! Thanks for the awesome videos!!
Thanks for the kind comments. Roosters tend to crow a lot when they first come of age. Regardless of the amount of other males or females around. It is just their nature. They do calm down as they get older but the amount of males and females around doesn't seem to have much affect on them. I hope that helps.
It does!! Thank you. Yeah...the coming of age birds are a boisterous bunch. My daughters and I were camping out back and it was about 6am when I told my youngest...we’re having quail for dinner. Kept the rest of the hens for 2 more years. I’d love to keep male to eventually rotate stock but very weary of a few neighbors. That’s the best thing about quail hens...very little space needed, quiet as can be, egg layin machines, don’t break the bank on feed. Thanks again.
@@mikereddy1019 the roosters sound like little screaming demons and haven't stopped crowing since they were 5 or 6 weeks old, that was 3 or 4 weeks ago, 22 out of 24 hours per day, I'm losing my fucking mind.
Screaming demons? You must have different birds. Lol Cause mine now and before sound similar to a blue jay. A trill. But nowhere near as loud nor does it carry. My advice would be then to harvest them. Unless you plan on raising and incubating a ton of birds...cockbirds just take up space and eat.
@@mikereddy1019
Would it be possible to keep the males indoors so noise is contained and periodically put them with the hens outside?
I came to this video because of the picture. Is your quail frizzled? I have one that has frizzled feathers but can't find any info.
Could be molting.
Thank you for clarification on the crowing at sexual maturity!
No problem. Thanks for watching.
I was given chicks and ended up w 7 male and only 1 female. Couple of the male crow noisy loud throughout the day. Have them in chicken coop. What to do?
eat them? 🤷♀

I have one neighbor that has still found some way to complain and call animal control. Good thing is im not breaking any rules or regulations and there is nothing they can do. Just wish my neighbor would come and talk to me about his concerns because I could possibly move them further away or whatever.
You know, you could go and talk to your neighbor. Show up with a dozen eggs and instructions on how to cook them. it may mean doing that once or twice but it shouldn't be a big deal to say "You know I raise some quail back there...are they bothering you at all? I can move them or make adjustments if there is an issue with them." He may just be a jerk to start with and then you can go back to not caring what he thinks. Then again he may just be lonely and need some excitement in his life so he gripes about everything.
I might try that and see how he responds. Its very important for me to have a good relationship with my neighbors. Pray that it goes well. Thank you
Praying for a peaceful and productive meeting for you and your neighbor.
Ya good thing that you don't have my neighbor KIP TELEZ living next to you, this a-hole filed false reports on my for having roosters which there are none, filed a report of me running a timber operation by milling wood for production sales, nodda just making a few fence boards amongst complaining to the county about my bee hives which they do not regulate or have any jurisdiction over, good thing that your neighbors are not like KIP TELEZ of Santa Cruz California!
wow. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Luckily my neighbors are pretty friendly.
Hey Chris, what do you feed your chicks once they come out of the incubator? Thanks!
I feed all my birds game bird starter crumble straight out of the bag.
i have 10 Japanese quail at home that i keep for eggs. 8 of them are hens and 2 are cocks. however, today I have taken 21 eggs out of their cages, despite taking out 8 each day for the previous week. is it possible they could be laying 2 - 3 eggs per day? I'm very confused!
It is possible that they could but seems unlikely that all of them would on the same day. Unless you are absolutely sure you didn't miss a day I would call that the most unusual thing ever and you might consider playing the lottery. :)
What more than likely happened is that you are collecting eggs at random times and a span longer than you think passed between egg collecting so you got 2 days worth of eggs and a a few laid an extra egg or two. They do that from time to time but it is somewhat rare. I hope that helps.
If you increase the number of hours of light during the day (eg florescents) you will get more eggs and more double yolks. This could be the reason.
I've had a double egg on occassion. Though it's easy to miss an egg or two while collecting
I have over 30 quail. I've not noticed them being loud. The neighbor that's 600yards away has chickens and I hear the. All the time.
They only time I hear the quail is when I go to feed and water them or they have laid eggs. They have distinct sounds. The roos sound like the Korean dude on the Lucy movie when he's asking where she went in Korean at the end of the show. The hens make a birbbling sound right after they lay eggs.
racist
@@lnz971 Lighten up. They do sound like that. 😂
let me ask you. when I got my rooster he was singing in my car. But in my house he have not sing not even ones. what do you think is the reason? He have been in my house for 4 weeks now. ty for your vídeos.
probably a combination of the move and a lack of light. They tend to kind of shut down for a few weeks after a move. And they need 14 hours a day of light to keep them in the breeding mood. Hope that helps.
i love rooster noises. The neighbors need to stop bitching and behaving like spoiled children. Before the industrial revolution it was common to raise chickens. If somehow we lost the current technology and went back to being farmers...I wonder how those neighbors would do. Kil themselves because of noisy chickens? Also I think car noises are way worse than chicken noises.
luckily my neighbors are not at all bothered by the quail.
The neighbor does chickens. It's all good. The regular birds are loud as hell in the a.m. fluttering about.
My neighbor has some chickens too. They don't bother me at all. I wouldn't mind having a few myself but I can't have roosters to produce fertile eggs.
Anyone had them in a apartment?
yes. There are lots of people that keep them in apartments or spare rooms in their house.
yes
I am not sure if that means "yes they annoy your neighbors" or not.
Slightly Rednecked yes thw will annoy the neoghbors these are not quiet birds.
that is true. But it depends a little on how many roosters you have and if the roosters are overcrowded. And who your neighbors are too. :)
yea i could tell which calls were from quails
I thought about that after i said that. I mean they aren't that loud but you can definitely pick out the quail. :)
i noticed that there are some type of flies buzzing around my backyard after i have the coup. is there a way to rid of them.
not really. You can hang up fly paper and there are some sprays that are supposed to drive flies away but I haven't found a good cheap way to deter them. Honestly I don't worry about them too much myself.
I got complaints for my males yes.I in a cul de sac. They thought they were fox scarers.Bobwhites quieter.
oh no. My neighbors all thought they were just wild birds.
ty
Thanks for watching.
I hear a cardinal
I didn't notice that. But not surprised, we have lots of them around.
Sure better than a rooster lol. I think its a nice sound.
I do too. Then again, i am not really annoyed by chicken roosters either. I even like the sound of a beagle baying. I had a beagle for a while. That will annoy the neighbors. :)
I need help I just got a new baby rabbit haven't even open its eyes yet, and it's getting red spots on it someone help and no I don't have acsses to the momma
oh now. How did you end up with a baby rabbit that hasn't opened it's eyes yet? I am sorry to say but it is highly unlikely you will be able to keep it alive. It needs to be kept warm (cover it with bedding material from a pillow or dish towels). It will also need to be fed twice a day at least. You will need to go to a local farm supply store and pick up a formula. Look for something related to small animals. if they don't have anything like that look for kitten formula. Good luck and i hope it works out.
Update?
dang the video has only been up a few minutes most be a lot of quail-heads out there
I guess so. :)
So keep doing what your doing cause a lot of people think You are doing it right
Thanks. I will do my best. :)
i may have the quietest quail ever.. i try to get them to crow and i rarely get it. even the 9 week olds rarely crow
They are probably getting ready to. If you want them to crow make sure to add 14 hours of light. In about a week you will be wishing they would go back to rarely crowing. :)
They are annoying I couldn't sleep because of them they make noises 24/7 never shut up
Did you have them in the house? Typically if the chicks make noise the temp is off or they want something. Once the need is met they usually get quiet
THANKS FOR NO HELP!
now i know why richest people they dont like neighbor , they too annoying
I am rich and I love my neighbors
I know smartest people not on youtube because grammar sux

If you want to keep contact with a brother in Christ i’ll keep contact with you. The love of God is beyond our understanding. God bless,././
i'd just rather raise quail.
