Quail Update

Got quail?  Boy, do we ever have them!

Currently we have 24 in roll-out cages in the shed, 24 from the November hatch who are our new breeder set in Mega-Condo #1, 38 hatched out 3 weeks ago who just graduated to the great outdoors in Mega-Condo #2, and ninety-two eggs in the incubator.  Yes, you read that correctly; NINETY-TWO.  Lockdown starts Thursday the 13th and things should be hopping (pun intended) this weekend. 


 

Cletus was busy this last week finishing up the second mega-condo.  


They love their wood-chips!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They huddle together for warmth; temperatures are in the 50s this morning
 
 
Here you can see they are more spread out on this side so I am not worried about the temperature
 

He has also been busy renovating the brooders, replacing the wire on the bottom with coated wire for their feet, and lowering them to help keep a little more warmth in.  


 

As soon as this batch of eggs finishes hatching we will be setting another large batch.  

We are just getting started with the business but we are working hard to get it profitable and have realistic expectations for making it so.

Got quail?  We can help! 

We will be at the market this Saturday, March 15.  The weather is expected to get a little crazy later in the day, but we will be at the market with fresh eggs, English Muffins, and craft goods.

Watermelons And a Quail Recipe

    For a lot of years each fall when we discuss how the garden went over the past year, Cletus has said something along the lines of, "I am not trying watermelons any more!".  For a lot of years plus one, each winter when we are planning the next year's garden he says something along the lines of, "I am going to give watermelons one more try.  If they do not work this year, I am done with them". This year we have used landscape fabric in the garden and it has been helpful for things we often struggle to grow.  It keeps the weeds down, it keeps the pests down, and it keeps the water in the soil.  A few weeks ago we were looking over the garden and realized there was a watermelon over on one section of the fabric!   The variety is not a seedless hybrid but just a good, old-fashioned, seed-heavy, seed-spitting watermelon.  While it is not as sweet as some seedless varieties, it has that extra we-raised-it-ourselves-in-our-own-garden flavor. ...

Quail Housing Part 2: Cages

Image
  Once we decided to stop using aviaries for our quail, Cletus started perusing YouTube Videos (a wealth of information!) for how different people built quail cages.  We both thought "Roll-Out" cages were interesting for the design to allow eggs to "roll out" to the front of the cage where they could be retrieved easily.  We got this idea from Dale's Quails (he sells kits) and Wynola Ranch (they sell prebuilt wire roll-outs).  Cletus was still working an 8 to 5 job at this time, but he got to work after 5 and on weekends to get these built.  Oh my! The first time you build anything is the most challenging, isn't it?  We did not purchase a set of blueprint plans from anyone, or a kit; he simply went to Home Depot, bought the lumber, the wire, and the hardware, and got to work.  It cost more and took longer than we were expecting.  There were some frustrations along the way.  But eventually he got 'er done (he always does; Cletus is AMAZING lik...

Recipe: Scotch Quail Eggs

Image
  Have you heard of Scotch Eggs?  They are a unique dish made of hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, breaded, and fried.   I made some years ago with our chicken eggs.  The size of the eggs made me question just how in the world does one serve these?? I tried slicing them different ways (wedges like a lemon, round slices, quartered) and they never seemed to work right for me. When we began keeping quail several years ago I wondered how quail eggs would do as Scotch Eggs.  I figured they would work better given their smaller size, but somehow I just never got around to trying them. A few weeks ago a gentleman stopped by our booth at the market and was happy to find our quail eggs.  I asked him how he was planning to use them and he told me he was going to make Scotch Eggs.   That settled it.  It was time for me to try my hand at this! Cletus has some food allergies, so my choice for sausage reflects our need to avoid corn products but yo...
