Raising Quail for Meat with Organic Feed and Meal Worms
Tips, Tricks
The quail I'm raising for meat in my backyard homestead are three weeks old. They have been outside in their coop I designed and built for the past week. I am raising them meal worms to eat and am also mixing and making my own mostly organic quail food mixture. I show how big they have grown in just three weeks. They convert food to body mass so efficiently. Much better than chickens do. They will be laying eggs in only three weeks. Out of the 11 quail, I have 5 males and 6 females.

Aww, quails are so cute.

quail are actually really intelligent for there size, they don't go inside during the cold or at night because they have a special down on there feathers that keep there bodies warm and in the wild the quails will make their nest out of the down for their young :)

I'm in Brazil right now and I would like to know if they can be free ranged and be free during the day and comeback at night with my chickens into the coop, or will they fly away?

I hatched a bunch of them in a homemade incubator good old dad made using a lightbulb and old appliance thermostat. We had them in an aviary and raised them for eggs when I was a kid. The eggs are a delicacy for sushi bars and also make a very nice size fancy pickled egg for cocktails and such.
