I'm both super excited with and super pleased with my quail, as they seem to be the main producers here on the farm as far as the birds are concerned. Their laying has picked up and it showed today when we got our first dozen eggs out of them!
We might also be getting lucky as far as quail are concerned because it seemed like a few of our birds were getting broody, meaning that they were sitting on eggs. Quails are notoriously known to not do this for the most part so it's hard to breed them without an incubator. We've considered importing silkie breed chickens because they'll sit on anything.
But there was a pile of eggs in the one corner with a quail on them yesterday and that quail was sitting in the same corner on an egg that it must have laid since I harvested it last night.
Start hoping for quail babies guys, they're the cutest.
And quails happen to be some of the pricier birds especially considering their size so it'd be nice to start producing them, not just the eggs and meat.

That's really cool Lily, I can't say that eaten may quail eggs. How do you like them prepared the best?
I can't say I have a favorite way, honestly.
I have not seen egg like that before. Nice! How o they taste compared to chicken eggs? Thanks.
Virtually the same......just little :) It takes like 3 to make a large chicken egg in recipes, I've used them in baking in a pinch lol.
Ah, quail eggs are so cute. How many quails do you have? I would assume you've got a few at least, considering the number of eggs! Fingers crossed for some babies! I'll keep my eye out for a baby quail photo shoot! haha
I've always wanted to get quail eggs for my kids, because I think they'd get a kick out of the miniature size... but it's hard to justify the price when you consider how many you need for anything. lol Too bad we don't have our own space, or I'd totally have a coop and some birds.
Quails take up like no room and could be done indoors by the dedicated. They're super quiet too they just make these little squeaks when they hop around.
Storebought quail eggs are no where near as good as home ones. I thought I didnt like quail eggs until I raised them. Now I love them.
Great post, some good looking pictures. One day I hope to have a Avery and a pair of quails on the floor would be good. Cheers mike
