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.

We didn’t cheap out on the incubator. And we had an automatic egg turner. We had one that would alert if the temp or humidity went slightly out of range. Humidity was a bit of a challenge to get and keep right. Even then, I think we averaged about 30-50%. It was tough watching the little ones struggle and not make it. It was one of the reasons we decided to stop.
