I am seriously thinking of raising quails and use the eggs as food, the quails are too small, they themselves are ineffective as food, although if they stop laying eggs, they will certainly be eaten.

Edit : Very small space, just a few feet, and that I'm allergic to chicken eggs.

If you don't have experience with raising animals and think you are going to randomly pick some oddball critter and are suddenly going to be raising them for food, the issue is that you are retarded.

[+] [deleted] 2 pts

Yes, yes... even if I see tutorials on how to do it, it's impossible and retarded to try it isn't it ? Even people in ancient times couldn't do it either, could they ? Raising animals without experience for food is more difficult than planning and creating a rocket...

I said none of what you assume I have and are faggot sperging about. I said nothing about trying, go right ahead. I think a great idea would be to buy a guinea pig, fatten him up for 3 weeks, and then put x's in his eyes, disembowel and eat him. Do it. And post videos. Let's see these totally not far fetched raise food ideas ideas in action. Do it , faggot.

Or, you know, stop being a faggot and get some chickens. You could do that, too.

How does an insect like you have the nerve to use on the name "sunshine" when you're nothing but a wimp.

I third rabbits. Two does and a buck and a cage for growouts. Will steadily keep you in meat. Ever here the phrase, breed like rabbits? There’s truth in that phrase. All using under 100 sqft.

Guinea Pigs:--

they taste good and breed really fast, infinite meat, a bit like unlimited basil:--

I don't think they taste good, too many small bones to nibble around unless I ate it wrong and was supposed to crunch the bones

Eating cuy is a little like eating chicken wings, in that you essentially use your teeth to get the most meat off the bone.

From the link in the comment that you replied to. Honestly, if that's what it's like: I wouldn't mind it. Although you could get around that issue, if it really bothers you, by turning them in to a stew— much like you'd do with a rabbit.

When I was young a friend's family had a quail coop. For a family of 5 I think they had somewhere around 20-25 quails. I dont think they used them for meat but I think they did use them for eggs. Im not sure, they never made quail/quail eggs when I would stay over.

However, if you are going for eggs you are better off with chicken/ducks. The quail eggs are just too small.

A former professor of mine raised rabbits for meat but you have to supplement it with other more fatty foods as they cannot provide everything you need. (Lookup Rabbit Starvation).

Depending on where you live you can also have pigs/goat/etc. Its all about the amount of land you have and what the laws are in your area.

chickens.

you feed them with your table scraps and they get rid of pests in your backyard.

Chickens are the best. You'll get more food from eggs than meat, but you'll get eggs near every day most of the year. They're like magical food fountains.

Chicken are dirty, will fuck up your backyard and noisy.

Iy is better to keep them contained in a cage rather than have them roam free.

They are dirty and it takes more space per chicken in a coop than most people realize. Good feed is not cheap for laying birds. And they are noisy. Many towns and subdivisions do not allow chickens. Most do allow rabbits.

Allergic to chicken eggs? What? I bet you’re alergic to peanuts too.

I don't know why, but when I eat chicken eggs, after a while red spots start to appear on my skin.

[–] 0 pt

That’s weird.

It's not that simple, if I eat eggs daily for a week or so, after that red spots start to appear.

Why not learn to trap?

Why did you not consider chicken ?

or rabbits ?

Very little space, just a few feet.

Rabbits are a good idea, but I think they eat too much.

Too much what ? grass ?

You either can have the "animal" run around in the couryard (does not seem the case) or you need to buy the appropriate food.

I am wondering on the ratio "money spent on food for animal/actual food to be eaten" for quails, for what I know chcken are the animals that convert most of raw material to edible stuff.

Wish you all the best

We’ve been raising meat rabbits for several years. The chow isn’t cheap but is easily supplemented with many kitchen scraps or the supermarket produce mark down bin. The meat is interchangeable with chicken. Chickens take 6 months to get to processing stage. Rabbit takes 4.

I’ve raised both. Rabbits over chickens for meat hands down.

My family had rabbits for years. Complete waste. They taste good, but take too long to raise, eat too much (they'll waste most of any fed you give them), and can be incredibly stupid. You end up investing a couple or a few months into a rabbit, and get at best a pound of meat. On the plus side, they are very easy to clean.

I've heard good things about quails, though I also hear they crap a lot more than expected.

unexpected bonus, if you're looking to make your own gunpowder.

A few feet where? It'll smell dude, hopefully not your house.

In terms of energy efficiency it goes: Insects , reptiles, birds and mammals.

For insects, try to get crickets. Idk about any reptiles. For birds consider pigeons. They were raised for food depression era.

Just thought of reptiles: frogs. But frogs aren't easy to deal with.

Chickens are probably the most productive. I've tried rabbits, but the return you get from them doesn't justify the amount of work to raise them.
