Just found your channel while looking for info on keeping quail. I’m planning to start keeping quail myself. Love the channel. Thanks for sharing all your wealth of experience. Regards. Mags

Hello from Tennessee, USA. My kids and I really enjoy your videos. They are very helpful. We used your pickled egg recipe for our quail eggs. they came out wonderful! To make the shells come off very easily. Steam the eggs for 6 minutes, then put them in ice water until cool. I steam chicken eggs as well. 15 minutes does the trick!

I've been working on a line that incubate, hatch and rear their own young. My star is an A&M female that, several times a year, successfully hatches out and raises her own young and to date she has never lost a chick. She's getting up in age now, and I'll be gutted when she's gone. Regarding the eggs all over the place, I try to keep only the females that lay in a nest, and cull (sell) those that tend to lay all over the place, so now most all the females I have lay in their nests. It's taken a few years of serious culling to get to this point, but it's been worth it.

Thanks for the video I will be buying 2 female quails in about a months time as I'm not going to be breeding, and I have been watching heaps of videos but this is the best about their eggs, thanks :)

Thank you. I have never had quail. I had no clue, about most of the things you said. I bet they would not be here today, if not for incubation. Do they just not sit long enough?

You will be able to tell by this question that I am just starting out with a very small population of quail, 1 male and 2 female. I get two eggs every day and my question is, how long can they stay in the cage before collection, and still be good? What is the best way to store them after collections? How long will they last if stored correctly? Thanks!

Hi SSM,

I am not made on quail to eat because there just is not much on them, but I tried the eggs, soft cooked in a little salad many years ago and since then have been trying to get some, but cooking soft boiled quail eggs needs a ‘touch’ I don’t have!
Interesting video, thank you.

Great video Mark! Can't wait till you start incubating them!

Oooh look at all those gorgeous eggs! I'm so jealous. For now our quail are still in the garage until we can get the outdoor pen built in the back. They have a heat lamp, but have stopped laying eggs. :-( I miss going in, and finding eggs.

Do you candle every egg to see if they are fertile?

Sorry for my ignorance but can you eat or incubate any of their eggs or can you tell which are best for eating

Hey mate, good vid. Just one thing, in my experience feeding chooks eggs teaches them to eat their own. I'm even hesitant to cook them first and disguise them as once they get a taste for egg they eat their own forever.

Surprised to see one of my videos pop up next to yours. I'm still waiting to get my first egg. Now you will have to give us a video of how you use them. If I ever get eggs I want one of those asian frying pans with the individual cup section for each egg. There is also a video of one of those next to your video.

Thanks I Enjoyed This Vid,        I Bought Quail Eggs At Our Grocery Store. Meant For Eating, Sold 18 Per PKG. And Hatched Out 5 Very Healthy Chicks. I Thought I Would Throw It Out There, How Resilient  They Are.
