Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I had quail and really didn't enjoy them. The small size is inconvenient. Teeny eggs, teeny meat bird. I found them a novelty and that's it. Chicken and muscovies are my jam.
We really enjoy our quail. I don't feel like a comparison to chickens or ducks is fair necessarily (we keep all of the above plus turkeys) they're unique and delicious. If you want big birds obviously quail aren't a great choice but they rival our rabbits in pounds per month here.
I love raising quail too. I've been at it for about 10 years and they are great. I got into them because I used to live in a city on a quarter acre and couldn't keep chickens. They were my first livestock and I've expanded from there since I bought a small farm of 10 acres but I still keep quail. Here's some pictures from my farm http://www.sunnypatchfarm.com/coturnix-quail.html
I might just get some! lol I haven't gotten chickens because I live in a residential area. How are quail with noise levels??
You can turn a pretty penny for pickled quail eggs.
I got some over the summer and love them! They lay consistently, they're easy to handle, and the eggs are delicious :). One of mine jumps out of the cage onto my lap.
My Dad who raises quail, chickens and turkey was just talking to me about pharaoh quail saying I should get some. I already talked him out of a few of his bourbon turkeys, maybe Ill bring home some quail too lol.
