Moving 2 Week Old Quail Outside - The SR Quail Update 8-21-17

My recent hatch is 2 weeks old and ready to move from the brooder box to the grow out pen. I have had a lot of questions lately about when and how you go about moving quail from the brooder to the outside cages so I am addressing that in this video.

Thanks for making these videos. They have educated me a great deal.

Thanks for all the informative quail videos! We just picked up some three week old jumbos yesterday after a month of research and building a quail pen that we hope will be a happy home for them. Your info covers all pertinent topics around keeping quails. I plan on uploading a "quail pen tour" video to my channel soon. I will give you a shout out for helping us get ready for this new adventure.

Your videos are amazing, keep it up! Also very useful as I am just about to get into quail hatching!!! Wish me luck!

i was riding home from work this week and i saw a man by the side of the road selling coturnix quail. I love eating quail eggs and quail meat so i bought some, went and bought some cages and bought some more, i know have 10, i think maybe 8 hens and 2 cocks. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make these videos, they are very useful. Already had 6 eggs from them, looking forward to more to come when they get over the stress of moving

Sir I've been watching your short video's of quails. Just doing my home work before i start raising quails. This is new for me. I only had chickens & turkeys

[vickibroussard]

Love your videos. I’m brand new to raising jumbo coturnix quail and your information has been very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for all your videos! I keep going back to reference them.

Thank you Chris! I couldn't do it without watching your Channel! I will have to go through all your videos and see if you show how to make a grow out pen. I know that might sound stupid but I am totally not a carpenter.

I use to use heat lamp but went to a reg 60 watt bulb in brooder in the house and they been just fine last 3 batches has been fine, and no fear of house burning down either cover on top of a large storage bin gapped for the light also to fit in there...move out to garage at three weeks and Im in mn. cold winters -20

They are looking good i have two quail hens brooding eggs been sitting 10 days now. Fingers crossed they go all the way ;-)

i really like your channel i when to the auction a couple of days ago could have got 70 for like 30 cents a peice but i did not have a cage built yet o man kicking my self for not having a cage. so i bought wire yesterday so i will have a cage build by the weekend.

Just keep tabs on the temperature. 20 days old fully feathered jumbos can handle 40 F at night outside on wire just fine.

Nice clutch of quail, I love the ones in the feeder boxes. :)

I just wanted to tell you I find all your videos amazingly informative. I am gathering everything to start my own small colony of coturnix. I invested in a couple of Wynola Ranch cages. I have a basement room I plan to keep them once they are feathered out. In winter the lowest it will get is 55 degrees. Too many predators in my location to keep them outdoors safely with Bobcats and Fisher Cats no matter how secure a cage I have. I will have all that I need shortly and plan to order eggs soon. I am a little wary to buy the eggs and have them ship in winter since its almost December right now. Is it a gamble to have eggs shipped this time of year? I could wait until spring or should I buy extra eggs now and plan on a low hatch rate? I kind of have a green thumb for multiplying living things. I am a little nervous about the culling thing later on but I am pretty sure I can do it after watching your other videos.

What do you mean by water cups? Just a dish of water? Or is it some other type of water device? Thanks for the great videos!

[fnhaley]

I live in ct. It's late june now. My quails just hatched 7 days ago. At 5 days i didn't like seeing them running over their own poops. So i took them outside pen and they are doing fine. They walk over 1/2 inch wire fine too.

[AkaShiami]

Schedule? What schedule! :D I was given two hatch-ling quail, and I'm not even sure how old they are! The two are in my aquarium-brooder, and seem quite happy there for now. They were the size of your 2.5wk birds when they were given to me, but it is a week later and they're nearly twice the size but still holding on to a bit of their down feathers on the head and breast. I can't say these two are fully feathered as such. :S So I'll think about moving them outside whenever they lose the baby-down or they outgrow the aquarium-brooder. We'll see which happens first!

[lonewolf]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and theories I am learning so much have a gud 1

I just got 50 qauil on the 24th of September. They said they were a day old before shipping. It is still warm but it's n a few weeks the weather should drop. This was a great video
