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.

I dont want to deal with incubating. I grew up breeding all sort of animals. However incubating eggs is a no go. To much extra work. I almost bought a pair of Gambles quail which I can only otherwise get while quail hunting. However even though the mom will raise the chicks. They are seasonal. So a clutch every spring. I wanted them more for pets to be honest.
