    Bobwhite Quail Housing and Aggression

    Its ok. I thank you for the help. Ive lost close to half of my 750 chicKs. Im thinking its because the brooding is to drafty. Ive brooded huge amounts of coturnix this way without fault but these guys are different. Im going to build boxes on the wall to hold 50-60 each then put them on the...

    Cabinet incubator design question

    this is the one I made from a fridge. Just finished it. In theory inside temp can be thought of as watts. If you put a 75w bulb on the bottom and it's getting too hot you can buy a 45w bulb for the bottom and install a 45w at the top. Also if you add a fan it should distribute the heat better.

    can you make money on quail?

    That's how I got started. The quail meat is like crack to me. I prefer coturnix meat but I raise them too. btw if you have a good bit of land you can host shoots and make 500-750 per person. I have one customer that makes bank.

    can you make money on quail?

    Just stumbled across this thread. I invested 1300 in my efforts to keep up with the demand. I have 750 chicks sold. Another 450 sold for the following month. Chicks are risky but eggs and flight birds are good money. 8 sell flight birds for 4.00 each, dressed out meat for 5.50 each. The average...

    First 5 breeder pens done. I already ordered 750 chicks which will be here April the 2nd. The first pic is of the fist 4 brooders being started. 9.5'x3' Which is 28 sqft. That will allow me 113 chicks per box. Still have a lot of work to do.

    Lol and when I did the math on my own I came up with the same thing. I did the division both ways and what I had was doing the division backwards. I know better now. Thanks. I wonder if the seller has 100' lengths.

    I'm kind of a try hard when it comes to saving money. 36"x100' = 300 sq ft. 300÷159= 1.89 per sq ft. 48"x100' = 200 sq ft. 200÷79= 2.53 per sq ft. I'm a strange person thoughlol
