    Rant about Euthanasia

    Michelle, you’ve got a good heart. I agree with you about doing your best to help them live out their lives. Any decent human being would do that. There is a time; however, that it will be the humane thing to end suffering. When I was a kid, one of my dogs was sick with cancer and I refused to...

    I'm stuck.

    Stay encouraged that’s just the way it goes sometimes. You had an awesome hatch rate from those eggs. Wry neck is from trauma or malnutrition. Quail are flying through protein and nutrients for the first 6 weeks of life. I had one line of true giant coturnix that would show signs of wry neck if...

    I am creating a 10 thousand square foot quail heaven. I need your input

    You will really have to fence around the entire bottom of the whole structure so nothing can dig under. You will need to cover the entire top. If it snows in your area you will have to consider the weight of the snow on netting / wire / or whatever rooftop material you decide to use. If you are...

    Brazilian Coturnix Meat Quail

    Wondering what everyone else’s experience has been with them. I think they might be a little more aggressive than the typical jumbo.

    Meat Coturnix 516g/18.16oz (photo) - anyone breed giant meat quail like this in the US?

    Not for nothing my friend I am also in Florida (assuming that it is Miami Fl and not Ohio or somewhere else with a city called Miami) and looked into Heliciculture for escargot a couple years ago. I was pretty much told “no” outright by APHIS. Florida is actually really strict on importing stuff...

    Meat Coturnix 516g/18.16oz (photo) - anyone breed giant meat quail like this in the US?

    When I say less explored bloodlines, I mean unconventional (for example, not from CL or James Marie Farms stock) / less marketed or popular. Or perhaps even looking to selectively breed from “outliers” in standard size bloodlines or mutt lines and build from there. The Jumbo / Meat birds from...

    Meat Coturnix 516g/18.16oz (photo) - anyone breed giant meat quail like this in the US?

    You’d have to go through a lot of hassel coordinating everything through, USDA APHIS with the breeder to import. Perhaps, the genetics of the typical choice quail farm large coturnix foundation stock in the US is completely tapped out genetically for size and it is time to select for giant...

    Meat Coturnix 516g/18.16oz (photo) - anyone breed giant meat quail like this in the US?

    From the looks of this photo, breeders can be successful at obtaining Giant and seemingly very healthy Coturnix. Are there any people here culling for size and getting results? It seems like the discussion about true “jumbo” sizes in the U.S. tops out at 14 oz. Also, most consistent meat lines...

    Hey there, just read a post on pigeons and saw a video about the connection you’ve made with your grandchildren. It really made my day. Hope you and your family have a great one. Thank you.
