I'm so glad you made a second video I just watched the first it was recommended to me and at the end of the video I went to see when you made the last one and was so excited to see another video made just a few days ago!!!! I'm so interested in this! 😊😊😊 thanks for a part 2!
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "quail indoors" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
@Random Brandon ive watched at least 20 videos on youtube on quails and her comment is on majority of them, id say its her video shes trying to promote trying to take the light off the people that actually put in more work and effort to teach everyone
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "fertile quail eggs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "raising quail in oklahoma" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got great results with it.
I’m not sure about quail eggs but with chicken and Guinea fowl eggs when you set them for hatching it’s called lockdown. This means that you set them up to hatch and leave them to hatch. Every time you open the lid you let dry air in which causes the outer membrane to go all rubbery ounce the chicks have cracked the egg to start to hatch. When I first started to incubate eggs I opened the lid of the incubator and out of 32 eggs I was incubating I ended up with 3 that hatched. I would have thought that you would get 70% or better hatching. I hope this helps in the future mate.
Excellent Videos. Very interesting! Your facility is immaculate and you treat your birds like gold. Love to see such high standards in breeding animals...Hope to see more videos ! Thanks for sharing!
I was randomly recommended the quail egg video and I found myself oddly invested in the experiment and the quail chicks haha! I also hear a horse and come chickens somewhere nearby. I hope we get to see everything going on there!
Unfortunately we live in an area with lots of coyotes nearby. Quails are not like our chickens, which are free range and return to their pens at night. Quails roam and fly off and would unfortunately get eaten :( However we are working on a large quail pen for these little guys to run around in so they won't be in the breeding pen for long :)
Fish And Chicks that’s a shame but at least your making them ,something bigger for them so that’s cool 😎 your two videos you have up are very cool and nicely made
I was saying the same thing , if I was stuck in a cage that small I'd go mad . think it would be better for the Quail not to be in a cage . especially if he wants to breed them
@@highwinds71 Luckily, animals with less intelligence don't need as much enrichment to be happy, meaning their quality of life isn't impacted as much as it would be for a parrot, dog, or human. I'm not going to say a small cage without toys is ideal for any animal though.
to those commenting on the small cage size... Watch the whole video. He is building them a larger cage, probably for outdoors. Finish watching before commenting. Your concern is appreciated. Thank you.
bjsmith503 - at least people care enough to enquire. Most buy cage eggs today and don’t batter an eye over the treatment of animals. Nothing wrong with asking politely ....
Go back and listen to it. He said when those birds crammed in those factory farming style cages make eggs, then he will hatch them and then those birds that don't fit with the others will go in the pen he is building. (My guess is every bit as crowded as the commercial caging.) Never the sun on their backs or the grass under their feet. Sad. I am no vegetarian or vegan: I just HATE factory farming and make it a point to buy organic or certified free range when I can. Grass fed beef, too.
@@lmb2333 This particular species of quail like to be crowded in with their covey. It makes them feel safer and these birds have no skills whatsoever of protecting themselves. They are not a native species anywhere. They are bred from 5 or 6 different species to grow bigger and lay more eggs than your average quail. They can't fly more than 10 ft or so because of their heavy weight so can't fly away from predators very well. If they are given too much room they become territorial and start to peck each other. Once there is a blood spot on one of them they all attack that one and kill it so you don't put these quail in a cage with a lot of room if you want them to live. We too raise these types of birds and we feed them organic and if one looks like its not feeling well we give them oregano tea and pumpkin seeds which can cure just about anything that makes them feel bad. they have pretty colored toys in their cages that they like to play with and we have a radio playing in their barns with all their favorite types of music. You can tell what types of music they like by their reaction to it. We have raised this type of quail for many years so know that this guy is doing a great job so please don't give him mean comments unless you know what you are talking about.
For those worried about the small space. I understand, however, quail are at the top of the menu food chain. Predators such as snakes, opossum, coyotes, hawks, eagles, dogs, cats etc love quail. They are also frightened very easily. When that happens they jump straight up. If the ceiling is to high they hit it and break their necks. This guy is doing a good job. And he has invested a chunk of funds in equipment to feed and protect his birds. Good job.
Great videos, I just watched them with my 4 and 7 year old daughters. We look forward to more video updates in the future. You've earned my subscription.
Looks like you have just started this channel few minths ago. Nice to see the videos. 😊 I would suggest you to upload often showing a short period updates, rather than capturing a large amount of time span in a single video.
I laughed when I realized just how fast these birds could multiply! In 2-3 years you could have literally THOUSANDS of quail, and in 10 years enough eggs to feed half of Virginia every Saturday morning! Those are some seriously amazing birds!
it's neat seeing stuff like this but those cages seem pretty small , hope you will give them something bigger to live in . If I was stuck in a cage that small I'd go crazy.
If you put their feed on paper plates for the first few days, they can access the food much easier. Just tap it a few times with your fingernail when you put them in to attract them to it, and they will figure it out from there. This is how a mother quail would show her babies where/what to eat in the wild, it's a feeding instinct they are born with. Also, as another commenter noted, you should not use smooth paper in the brooder. You should use something that is textured, like paper towels, then shavings. They need to be able to get traction to walk/run so they do not develop spraddled legs.
This was great. I hope you continue making vids; they're very well put together, entertaining and kind of soothing too. Would also like a follow up on the new pen!
I see that you are using a slick paper under them and it is not good to use that type when they are newly hatched it causes spraddle leg. I see later in the video you added a towel which is better. I recommend using a standard paper towel for a few days and then shavings after that.
Pestle and mortar - I use a ninja blender to grind the starter feed for the chicks. I built a coop for the quail love it, but I built timber up on the sides and back, so they have privacy and feel safe. Put some long grass in there also for cover. I only have 3 males in one part of coop and 2 females and one male in other part of coop. Waiting on 3 female chicks to grow up. Also have 2 females and a male in bottom of an aviary. The quails in coop are very content and happy but I think the privacy is the reason they are so content in a coop.
Hey man not trying to tell you what to do or anything but if you will stop opening your hatcher so much you will get a much higher hatch rate. That last 3 days it's critical to keep that humidity and 25% higher then the previous days. Lowe humidity will cause shells too hard for chicks to peep as well as cause chicks to dry out too much that where in the hatch process and they get stuck and die. Usually they do what is called lock down that last 3 days and do not open the incubator or hatcher but make sure it has ample water. Your chicks will be perfectly fine and there is no need to get them out right away. They pull the excess yolk inside of them and can live for 3-4 days just on that thus that is why it's safe for hatcheries to ship chicks via mail. I have built incubators and raised all manner of poultry for 30+ yrs and I enjoy seeing other people have interest in it as well. To each their own but just some friendly advice. Happy hatching!
there where i live we got a lot of foxes. the neighbor has a large quail-cage outside. about 3x4x1.5m. all with grid (top also) would be lovely to see something similar for you’re cute birds. like your videos so far
Salmon Salmon fish if you’ve seen one of the top comments, he said that they’re working on making a large pen for them- they can’t let quails free-roam because coyotes may eat them.
You need to keep the humidity at 40-50%, it varies depending on the type of eggs you are hatching. You should increase it for the last few days, it softens the shell membranes and makes it easier for them to hatch. Duck eggs need higher humidity, chicken, quail and pheasant need less.
@@gregs605 Actually quail need more humidity than chickens due to the thick membrane. If there is not enough humidity the membrane turns leather like and sicks to the bird making it almost impossible to get out of and many die if that happens. We keep the humidity around 80+% for our quail and lower for our chickens for the last 3 days. The first 14 days we keep it around 55% to 65%. We have to remember that different incubators can be different in the way they hatch. We have to treat our eggs in our GQF cabinet incubators different than we do in our Rite Farms cabinets. Each one holds temperature and humidity differently. That could be why you keep your incubator at a lower humidity than we do.
Nice videos!!-) I wish that I had the space and resources to raise quail or chickens. I’m going to have to look into my city’s regulations on quails. Are they fairly quiet compared to chickens
Great video and very informative, thank you. Can you post the equipment you are using in all steps of this video please? I am hoping to start raising some as well, it would be awesome, to get info on your equipment- make and model#, that has proven to work very well for you. Thank You and have a great day.
My dad was telling me we don't need the second incubator (the flat one) and I doubt that. Is the second incubator required or does it just increases the hatch chances
when you open too early you can shrink wrap the rest. Did any not hatch? Its called shut down. You can lose quite a lot but not waiting before opening.
The reality is the chicks are training the hen to accurately assess the environment before laying her clutch of eggs... and the hen is teaching her chicks how to navigate the environment their in using her experience,, together it creates a feedback loop that increases their chances of that species survival.. IE they will continue jumping off your table until you learn to put them somewhere else more safe...instinctive impulses are developed between the interactions of mother and young not learnt or taught.. Turns out birds are one of the most adaptive intelligent species on earth and their survival instincts are outstandingly sophisticated and complexed...
Are these all the same kind of quail? I love Bob Whites. At one time I worked at Auburn Univ. where I supported the efforts of Quail Unlimited. Now I'm in a condo in NW WI. Can you raise quail in captivity in northern climates successfully? Can you raise several different avians like chicken, quail, and then also raise rabbits in the same building or on a small piece of land? Are there any chances of cross infections between the different species? Can you use the same hatching and brooding equipment for both chickens and quail? I am also very interested in family sized hydrophonics. It seems one would not need to be a big landowner to produce meat for the family in that way.
I raise king quail . Each week I lower the temperature . Start at 35 degrees Celsius then drop it to 30 degrees next week , then 25 degrees next week . About 4 weeks they do not need heat and can leave but do not put them in with already established quail as they get picked on. Social order thing !
@@launnie-outdoor-items I agree. That is the best way. The only thing I would add is that if you are in a colder climate and putting them in an outside cage be sure that they are fully feathered which could take little longer and have a little place for them to go in to get out of the weather and cozy up. Its usually the top of their head and their belly that feather out last so people should be sure to check those places for feathers. Also, if you are putting them in an outside cage make sure the cage will not allow any predators to get in. Raccoons, opossums, fox, coyotes, wolves, even the neighbors cat or dog and many other wild animals are major predators for these little birds. Since these birds coo and talk all night the predators are definitely aware that they are there.

Dont be so stupid . You would not fit into that small cage.
Quail birds doesn't need big cages.. they are very sensitive to their environment and they love to be alil tight to each other cos they feel safe..
I agree. It’s much too small and cruel. I’m not an animal rights activist or anything but these animals are being neglected.
Nice video and very informative about quail
Wholesome and informative, looking forward to more videos
I love quails, but I love it when they have much more space and have better living conditions.

I was going to post this as well. They need a rough surface in order to get traction to walk, especially just after hatching.
I seen that too. Not sure if it is the same for quail as it is Chickens. We always started ours in a brooder house on bales of Peat moss.

I love those breeding cages. Thanks for the link! Quail are so much fun to raise. Love the eggs too.
The're so cute. I wish they could experience what grass is like.
I love your channel!! ❤ Just Subscribed 👍 I would love to see a timelapse of the babies hatching & eating/drinking for the first time 🐣
So glad to get this video , could you make step video?how to hatch the egg with details?and beside that what kind of machine to hatch the egg?
Great video! I have found that an electric coffee grinder works well for grinding feed for the birds and great for fry powder for my tilapia.
there where i live we got a lot of foxes. the neighbor has a large quail-cage outside. about 3x4x1.5m. all with grid (top also)
would be lovely to see something similar for you’re cute birds.
like your videos so far
Pls give them bigger cages it's so sad I was loving this video till I saw.
They'd be much happier and healthier with at least bigger cages
The breeding pens specifically, it's just inhumane
Salmon Salmon fish if you’ve seen one of the top comments, he said that they’re working on making a large pen for them- they can’t let quails free-roam because coyotes may eat them.
Yeah but he'll still use the breeding pens, ik they can't free roam but why get them if he isn't going to properly look after them and treat them well
@@SalmonSalmonfish Sometimes you just don't think about every single detail before executing something
@@Johannesburgus sometimes I'm a terrible disgusting person
They’re so tiny! Oh my word
European quails are so round, these ones look smaller.
You should see baby button quail... 1/3 that size, just as easy to raise. But they are too small to raise for meat/eggs, they are only pets.
@@gregs605 do they have pretty feathers?
Looking forward to more content great channel so far!
How many of the 170 quail eggs (the second batch) hatched? Was curious :)
The Broder only held 144 at the start. 💯🇺🇸
My brother Daniel pooped
@@Aouf1 haha
So interesting! Hope you keep us up to date! 😄
So informative and full of feathery cuteness
I love the two tubby ones at 6:26 walking in the food bowl.
are all the eggs fertile when laid. if not how do you tell. Only asking because I have recently purchased 100 quail
I think you had quite a nice start on UA-cam
Can't handle that much cuteness!
I love your channel keep it up
Oh my gosh, there’s so many of the little things! I am just wondering what you are planning to do with so many quails
Nothing in Particular *le gasp*
Love the videos. You do an awsome job
Very nice set-up
Those are Awesome cages
From hatch to laying eggs, 7!! 7 weeks!! WOW!!!!
Very cool! keep your videos coming!
You just got a new sub :) Good Work 😀
I told you it was day 16 not 18 in the last vid. But I understand you might be new at this. By the way you earned another sub. Great job.
Hi, thanx for the video. Is it possible to tell us about the equipment source
Exactly how much moisture is required to be in the incubator?
Or better question, how much moisture is required to hatch an egg?
You need to keep the humidity at 40-50%, it varies depending on the type of eggs you are hatching. You should increase it for the last few days, it softens the shell membranes and makes it easier for them to hatch. Duck eggs need higher humidity, chicken, quail and pheasant need less.
@@gregs605 Actually quail need more humidity than chickens due to the thick membrane. If there is not enough humidity the membrane turns leather like and sicks to the bird making it almost impossible to get out of and many die if that happens. We keep the humidity around 80+% for our quail and lower for our chickens for the last 3 days. The first 14 days we keep it around 55% to 65%. We have to remember that different incubators can be different in the way they hatch. We have to treat our eggs in our GQF cabinet incubators different than we do in our Rite Farms cabinets. Each one holds temperature and humidity differently. That could be why you keep your incubator at a lower humidity than we do.
Amazing video 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Can you incubate the eggs in a normal incubator used for chickens? If so what temp would you recommend it be set on?
I really enjoyed watching this. 😄
looking forward to more!!
i think they are very sweet i would like to have a couple as pets
after watching this
thanks love the video
Nice videos!!-) I wish that I had the space and resources to raise quail or chickens. I’m going to have to look into my city’s regulations on quails. Are they fairly quiet compared to chickens
Love your channel!
also, I wonder have you ever made a hybrid of the California quail and the other types.
this is some quality content man keep it up
Wow your wife let you keep the quails inside the house. Now thats true love.
It would've been really cool if you made a time-lapse of the eggs hatching
Your horse wants some love!!
It's very educational. Thanks.
It would be awesome if you did a time lapse of the quails hatching 🐣
Will they be able to roam outside/grass etc?
What’s the name of your incubator? And how good does it work? Thanks Al
I can’t wait for when you make more videos
Great video and very informative, thank you. Can you post the equipment you are using in all steps of this video please? I am hoping to start raising some as well, it would be awesome, to get info on your equipment- make and model#, that has proven to work very well for you. Thank You and have a great day.
Bro keep the vids going I luv them
When youtube recommendation is good
Did your breeder pen come with wheels on the bottom?
My dad was telling me we don't need the second incubator (the flat one) and I doubt that. Is the second incubator required or does it just increases the hatch chances
Do you not risk shrink wrapping none hatched quail by opening the incubator so much?
So educational, thank you!
What feed do you use? With those feeders.....does that waste a lot of food? What was your hatch rate out if 70?
when you open too early you can shrink wrap the rest. Did any not hatch? Its called shut down. You can lose quite a lot but not waiting before opening.
have you ever formed a bond with any of the animals you care take?
For your breeding pens what do you use to give then water.
The reality is the chicks are training the hen to accurately assess the environment before laying her clutch of eggs... and the hen is teaching her chicks how to navigate the environment their in using her experience,, together it creates a feedback loop that increases their chances of that species survival.. IE they will continue jumping off your table until you learn to put them somewhere else more safe...instinctive impulses are developed between the interactions of mother and young not learnt or taught.. Turns out birds are one of the most adaptive intelligent species on earth and their survival instincts are outstandingly sophisticated and complexed...
I dont have a hydrometer, is there another way I can judge how much water is needed
Great vids keep posting 😎
Love your videos we raise quail, but I am wondering where did you get your incubator? Thanks have an amazing day😊
You are so dedicated.
So do they all imprint on you the way ducklings do?
Love your channel and a new subscriber! Where did you get your breeding cages at? And your brooder?
Very good, what breeds are the quail?
Are they all the same breed from the shop batch? Where did the cali come from. Great video!
great video
This so cool to watch I want do some like this someday thanks
Are these all the same kind of quail? I love Bob Whites. At one time I worked at Auburn Univ. where I supported the efforts of Quail Unlimited. Now I'm in a condo in NW WI. Can you raise quail in captivity in northern climates successfully? Can you raise several different avians like chicken, quail, and then also raise rabbits in the same building or on a small piece of land? Are there any chances of cross infections between the different species? Can you use the same hatching and brooding equipment for both chickens and quail? I am also very interested in family sized hydrophonics. It seems one would not need to be a big landowner to produce meat for the family in that way.
Wait wait... so when do you move them out of the brooder box?
Bear Shit when they’re big enough to not slip through the pen
I raise king quail . Each week I lower the temperature . Start at 35 degrees Celsius then drop it to 30 degrees next week , then 25 degrees next week . About 4 weeks they do not need heat and can leave but do not put them in with already established quail as they get picked on. Social order thing !
@@launnie-outdoor-items I agree. That is the best way. The only thing I would add is that if you are in a colder climate and putting them in an outside cage be sure that they are fully feathered which could take little longer and have a little place for them to go in to get out of the weather and cozy up. Its usually the top of their head and their belly that feather out last so people should be sure to check those places for feathers. Also, if you are putting them in an outside cage make sure the cage will not allow any predators to get in. Raccoons, opossums, fox, coyotes, wolves, even the neighbors cat or dog and many other wild animals are major predators for these little birds. Since these birds coo and talk all night the predators are definitely aware that they are there.
