  • Finally posting something on this here UA-cam Channel of mine! [cringe] If you’re watching this video, please know it’s my very first one and my editing skills were definitely lacking (I recorded two angles but only figured out how to work on one… oh well). Grace is appreciated!
    Because of the encouraging community and so many requests to have a reference video after a very successful hands-on quail butcher workshop at Quail Con 2022, I am sharing my process of butchering quail whole which is my preference for aesthetics and/or final product presentation.

    Oh wow, thought my husband was going to have to do the dispatching bit, but after watching your brilliant tutorial video, I feel quite confident that I could do it. Video was BRILLIANT, well done. I'm 70 years old and in the UK.

    This has to be the easiest cleanest video, I was all like "I need to purchase a plucker and a shed to process since feathers will be flying every where, neighbors will think I'm a serial killer ... maybe I can process over night so no one sees me ... then again there's always damn kids in windows taking a video and sending to the police ... lmao ... thank you for giving me confidence, I haven't done this yet and was so nervous ... but now not so bad ... eh? lol :)

    I only process quail after a hatch to get rid of excess males. This is by far the best video on UA-cam for it . This is my third time watching it before processing. I guess you decided you made the perfect video so there was no need to continue making more lol. I would love to see more, but I hope this one lives forever on UA-cam even if you don’t ❤

Very neat, very organized, very educational, detailed information, pleasant to listen to, and easy on the eyes. You have it all. I have subscribed in hopes that you will put out more content. Thank you, God bless you

I subbed to your channel. I have my first batch of quail hatching now. 13 in the incubator with 23 more eggs to go. I'll be watching your video again in 7 weeks, when it's time to get my male/female ratios correct. Thank-you and good luck with your channel!!

    Great video. Thanks to the team at quail con I processed my two extra roos. Went great, the shepherd loved the organ treats, the hound gave me a "look" until he saw his sister eating them, then it was OK. It was very helpful seeing the difference between the roo and hen organs. Now I know for sure what the white things were. Thanks Jasmine, looking forward to more videos.

Can you show us the difference between a standard size and jumbo size? Which one you prefer and why?

    You made this look very easy (aside from any emotional issues/attachment that could arise).
    I'm tempted to get quail, my cousin raises them in NC and my daughter loves birds. I'm just a little bit worried they will reproduce too quickly.

      They absolutely can be composted. Add them to an active compost pile and bury deep to avoid attracting scavengers. Or if you have an active black soldier fly colony (larvae), they can clear those out in a matter of days.
