There’s a user who has quail on here I do to. I’m on year two and here’s why I’m getting rid of them;

Pros;

  1. Quail eggs have twice the nutrition of chicken eggs

  2. They cure asthma

  3. You can’t get salmonella

  4. Quail are easy to take care of

Cons

  1. Quail eggs are tiny and a bitch to peel when you cook.

  2. The eggs aren’t practical. It takes a lot for an omelette and the shells break into your egg

  3. The birds are too small for a proper meal

  4. They fly.

  5. My hatch success rate is 0% yea it’s probably something I did wrong but fuck man that’s discouraging

At the end of the day quail are want to be chickens and they fail in all the aspects.

Can I ask why you went with Quail and not Chickens? I have a few friends with chicken coops at this point and I have been considering it. As A kid my mom once got some quail we fattened up and slaughtered before thanksgiving so I understand the difficulties you talk about. It seems like Chickens are about the same work, maybe a little more bird shit to deal with... but chickens don't have the problems you are seeing with quail. The eggs are normal sized, a single chicken could feed the family for a meal, etc.

My coworker gave me some quail before he quit. And I have a chicken coop so I figured why not give this a try.

Now that I tried it and I have a chicken coop it makes no sense to not have chickens. Plus chickens eat scraps so that’s another pro for having chickens.
