My first time hatching quail eggs, I went with KCQuailfarm assorted coturnix. It's day 16 and the little buggers are hatching! Thanks Chris for the great info in your videos, and big thanks to KCQuailfarm for the quality eggs!
Slightly Rednecked So one of the hatchlings can't stretch it's legs out and shuffles around on it's "knees". Have you experienced this? If so, is there anything to do about it except let nature take it's course? I tried stretching the legs out and they can't stretch out all the way.
Well, 20% hatch rate for the eggs. Candled what was left and they were infertile/never developed. Glad to have the 24 out of 120 eggs, however. Any start to self sufficiency is better than no start. Thanks Chris!!
I am not sure if the discount is still going or not but you can't go wrong with ordering eggs from KC Quail farms either way. Good luck with the upcoming hatch.
Thank you for the videos, I've been considering raising quail for about seven years now, just waiting for the backyard space to do it. Now we've got a nice size backyard and I'm really excited! I'm definitely going to be starting with some nice eggs from your sponsor, looks great. Sadly I may have to wait a few months for our renovation...ugh! Do you have a video on building your quail hutch? I'm going to look for it now, I've been binge watching your channel. I love how informative and clear your videos are, wonderful job :-) You deserve more subscribers, excellent work.
thanks so much for the kind words. I did do a video on my hutch build. I also did one on stacking quail cages. Here is the one on the hutch build if it helps. ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=h3P5ApWnvZ4
Still growing rabbits and quail? i started gardening last year.. loved it.. fine tuning it this year. Id like to add an animal. Easiest for a beginner, cheapest to work, cheapest to take care of.
It is really up to you on what you want. If I was breeding solely for food (meat and eggs) then the Jumbo Pharaoh are the way to go. I just keep some silvers because i like the way they look. You can cross breed them if you want to but you are going to lose the "jumboness" of the jumbo birds over time. I hope that helps.
Thanks if you didn't cross beef them will they stay jumbo I read some info so kanassas kcf web site that I didn't completely understand a boat the pharaohs breeding if I'm not mistaken I think I spotted a reloading press in one of your videos that's one of my hobbies I really learn a lot from videos if your ever visiting northern Va let me know we could go to the range god bless
Sounds like a plan. Would love some range time in northern VA. if I make it that way I will try to remember to let you know. Stay tuned and if I ever mention a trip to VA remind me. :) As far as the jumos staying jumbo, that depends on a lot of things. They are bread to be jumbo based on genetics. Some of your birds will probably get the bad draw of genes and end up smaller than normal jumbos but if you are selective and only breed the bigger birds you shouldn't have any problems. Hope that helps.
One thing I have not seen you do a video on is the permits and legalities of raising quail. I understand that different states have different rules but a general rundown for your state would be interesting. I live in the same state as you do but am confused as to whether or not these are a "game bird" or just exactly how they are classified. Thanks for all your efforts....you are VERY informative!
That is a great suggestion. In general coturnix quail are allowed just about everywhere because they are not native. If you wanted to raise a native quail (like bob whites) they would require a permit. I will see what I can do to get that topic addressed in more detail in a video soon.
thank you so much. I talked to you a while ago about getting some birds from you. I really like the idea of hatching out my own but i could never find a breeder locally and all the local birds i found were tiny.
That is exactly what I was going to say. Go to Kansas City Quail Farms page and Dave will take care of you. Good luck and make sure to share your results with us.
It is possible. You can order eggs to be shipped to you as well. It will cost more of course but you will get better hatch rates and better birds. Of course you could always do that later if you get poor results from the first eggs.
Hey Chris, I went to Kansas City Quail Farm website and looked around for a while, and in reading the descriptions for the jumbos and the jumbo pharaohs, they seem to have exactly the same descriptions on egg size 12 to 14 grams. The only difference seeming to be the body weight between the jumbos which was 14 oz to 16 oz, but 12 oz to 14 oz for the jumbo pharaohs. So I'm slightly confused. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see what information I can find out! Thank you again for yet another superb instructional, you still make the best videos on UA-cam!
Thanks so much for the kind comments. There really isn't a huge difference between the two. Pharaohs are more for large eggs and the regular jumbo "meat makers" are more for growing out larger birds faster. But again, not a significant difference in my opinion. Give them a call and they will help you out.
I have a question I bought a pair of brown quails I just got into breeding quails and I bought eggs from Amazon of button quails but all of them came out male I live in California and it's so hard to find a female button quail what do you recommend me to do should I buy more eggs
I know that Kansas City Quail farms has bob white eggs. You will need a permit to order them (or keep them for that matter). As far as Turkey and Grouse, they are pretty common. You can probably find live birds at a local farm supply store in the spring.
realy? i get a lot of white eggs too and im making a video on white eggs, i had to delete the video cuz the info was not the true info, so my story shows you all that you need to google and gather the true info before you post a video xD
yes. That is know as splayed leg. It is caused by the bird having a hard time getting traction to walk. You can sometimes treat it by using something like medical tape to tape the legs together and forcing it to stand up. It is hard to explain in text and I don't have a video on that subject yet (haven't had the issue in a while) but think of it kind of like building a leg brace for the bird. I have also had success by taking something like a piece of pvc and putting the bird inside it so it is forced to stand upright. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I hope that helps.
Love your videos. Congrats on the marriage. Couple of questions. How long do you keep your birds in that tote/brooder before moving them outside to grow out? How many will you fit in that one brooder? Thanks for any info.
Thanks for the kind comments. The brooder can hold about 40 birds for about 2 weeks and then it starts getting a little over crowded. I generally keep the birds in the brooder until they are fully feathered out which is about 2 to 3 weeks old and they they are good to go out to the grow out pens. Hope that helps.
Hi Chris, Thanks for all your advice. I love to raise quails however haven’t had much luck in incubating their eggs II went through several incubators before I realized it was me not incubators…Ha Ha ! I’m going to try again. I think a child’s incubator may be best for me as I’m short on cash and just want a few chicks. Any advice on an incubator? Not sure why my picture changed, may have something to do with my grandchildren playing w/ my phone 😊
what would cause a quail that just hatched that has been very active just all of a sudden not be able to walk and roll in and flipping over and turning its head weird I think it's going to die but would like to know what I'm doing wrong or is it natural for some birds to get stuff like that
sounds like splayed leg. It is caused by the bird not being able to get traction on the floor. It can be treated by building braces for their legs. Wrap a piece of tape around them to hold them together and force the bird to stand upright. Will usually correct itself in a day or two. I have also had luck but setting a bird in a piece of PVC (about 1/2 inch) so it is held upright. I don't have a video on that topic and can't really do a good job of explaining in the description but google it and you will probably find what you need. Hope that helps and sorry for the slow response.
it was holding its head really weird and flopping on the ground its leg was fine in the ended up dying last night so I'm not really sure what happened but thanks for your help
So Chris I know I’m a little late on this video but if I wanted exactly what you have I would get JMF jumbo pharaoh quail (wild type)? Or what JMF do you have?
I’m sorry I should have been more specific. I got the answer I needed but I was on KCquailfarm.com and that’s the only one he had that looked like what u had.. for whatever reason I thought u would know that’s what I was talking about so my bad.... my son is wanting to get in quail and I wouldn’t mind it either and wanted a very good breed to get started with. thank you for your response.
I am sure that there is but I don't have experience with that. You will probably just have to contact a few breeders and ask them if they ship to Canada. I am sorry I can't help more with that.
This may be a crazy question...but, I'm going to be just 40 minutes away from from the KC Quail Farm when I visit my Parents in October. If I packed my brooder, do you think I could safely drive newly hatched Coturnix chicks on a 15 hour car ride home? My husband is driving with me so I could tend to the chicks. My main concern would be making sure their food and water stays stable, and making sure their heat source is secure. I may end up just going with eggs, but I really wanted a wide variety and it looks like they only sell eggs by 15.
I think it could be done. If you contact him ahead of time he might have some older chicks that wouldn't be as sensitive to the temperature. He is pretty helpful.
NC Greenie, did you wind up transporting quail chicks? If you did, I'm curious how it turned out, because I have been told by quite a few quail breeders in my area that quail chicks don't travel well.
It depends on your market. Selling locally around here, you might be able to get $5 a dozen out of them. If you are buying online and getting good bloodlines, you can pay $0.50 per egg.
I am sorry but I don't know anyone in Alabama. You can order eggs to be shipped (I recommend Kansas City Quail Farm). If you have a poultry swap that goes on nearby I can almost guarantee that there will be some Coturnix quail there. And keep an eye on craigslist. They don't always show up available here but when someone hatches some out they post them up. I wish I could help more.
99 degrees F or 38 Degrees C. I did a series of videos on hatching eggs that might be helpful to you. You can find it here. ua-cam.com/play/PLjVT58vKdZARV4sU1iWBO7RlZeR_UNbXb.html
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "poultry quail" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (just google it ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.
aloha! hey, great job on the videos. I just started watching your videos about quails. a quick question can you mix the different quail breeds? later in the video, I see where you have the silver the meat makers, etc all in the same brooding box but do you leave them mixed even in the runs or cages? are they all subspecies of coturnix quails? I appreciate you making such well informed videos thanks!!
Thank you so much for the kind comments. You can definitely mix them all together. if you are trying to get jumbo birds it is best to keep those isolated but you can keep them all together if you don't really care about that. They will interbreed just fine.
sure. Texas A&M are jumbo birds. But I do find that people tend to call every white bird an A&M and that is not always the case. There is an English White coturnix as well that isn't a jumbo bird. No way of knowing for sure what the seller has but if he has good feedback it is probably ok.
Hello, I have an inquiry and I'm hoping someone could elaborate. Well, I'm 15 and turning 16 in less than 2 months. I'm hoping to own coturnix quail of my own but I found out you need a permit (I live in Kansas). I have no idea how to get one and I've been trying to read up on it but everywhere it's vague or just tells me about hunting or whatever. I know this is a stupid question so I apologize. I've just never needed one for anything else and I'm completely clueless how to get one. Any help would be appreciated but, if not, that's fine, too.
I don't think you need a permit for coturnix quail. You would need one for native game birds like bob whites but coturnix are not native and usually don't require any kind of permit (kind of like chickens). You can call your local conservation office or extension office and clarify. Make sure you specify that it is coturnix quail you plan on raising.
I think they’re asking if quail eggs are edible like a chicken egg and is it possible to mail the birds by specifying what gender you want for the birds if you want only 3 birds with 2 being female and 1 being male?
Hello, I have about 21 female quail and about 3 male quail. I bought around 25 days quail bird. Now their age is around 55-60 days.My question is that, can I get eggs from this ratio?. love from Bangladesh.
You will get eggs whether you have roosters or not. with 21 hens and 3 roosters you might get some unfertilized eggs. I like to keep 1 rooster for every 5 hens. And at that age they should start laying at any time. Hope that helps.
I am not sure where to point you. I don't know any local Wisconsin breeders myself. I would suggest that you keep an eye on craigslist. Sorry I can't help more.
im state ave 66102 i really hope you be there AND and if you're in K.C NOT HIM YOU YES YOU. said hy.please. im William Kansas city Kansas. love you girls and dudes. hey were is j.lios if you know what I mean. I REALLY HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE O

Thank you
Still growing rabbits and quail? i started gardening last year.. loved it.. fine tuning it this year. Id like to add an animal. Easiest for a beginner, cheapest to work, cheapest to take care of.
Yes, i still raise both of them. They are both pretty good places to start when adding animals to your backyard homestead.
great video. we love our silvers. my son named the roo for breeding "penguin" because of his markings on his face.
Nice name and seems pretty fitting. :)

So do I have to wait till April to get my quail eggs?
No. You can order quail eggs whenever you want.
If your around the birds alot as chicks, will they be calmer and easier to handle? will they be more tame?
Probably. I don't find that they are that hard to handle really but I have not put significant effort into taming them up.

Link??

Thank you so much. I am glad that you find my videos helpful.
i love all your videos😘😘😘
Thanks so much. I am so glad to hear that.
nice chicks wish a few quails were in the bahamas really want some already have a great coop:-(
I wish they were too. Not sure how well eggs would ship internationally.
Could people eat the eggs, and do it have mail, I will like to start with two hens and one mail chickens
I am sorry but I am not sure what you are asking me.
I think they’re asking if quail eggs are edible like a chicken egg and is it possible to mail the birds by specifying what gender you want for the birds if you want only 3 birds with 2 being female and 1 being male?
Is it necessary, a male quail for quail eggs....? Pls sir
no. If you just want eggs for eating all you need are hens.
thank you , Sir
no problem.
He has partridges too!
Hard to get quail here in nfld
That is unfortunate. If you do find some you might have a market for them though.
Hello, I have about 21 female quail and about 3 male quail. I bought around 25 days quail bird. Now their age is around 55-60 days.My question is that, can I get eggs from this ratio?. love from Bangladesh.
You will get eggs whether you have roosters or not. with 21 hens and 3 roosters you might get some unfertilized eggs. I like to keep 1 rooster for every 5 hens. And at that age they should start laying at any time. Hope that helps.
thank you very much for your reply.

I am not sure where to point you. I don't know any local Wisconsin breeders myself. I would suggest that you keep an eye on craigslist. Sorry I can't help more.
