➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[CindyinSD]

Time to process the quail. Super not excited.
Any good resources or tips?

There are lots of videos on YouTube. I like Homestead Traditions. Theirs was pretty easy to follow, I thought. But there are plenty of good ones.

Sharp scissor with a good tug at the end or a sharp knife.

I haven't done it but I stand close and dish out ordered pretty good.

Head first... Wait a minute then clip the wings and legs off.
The skin pretty much rips off easily.
Then cut up each side of the spine...pull that off then scoop out the insides.


Easy peasy if you do like me and watch.

utube has some how to videos. First time? Skinning or plucking? Whole bird or breasting them out?

QB#5 candling results.
5 fertile & developing
30 set.
5 bald hens.
1 defective rooster
Makes that decision easier.

5. My only consolation is that it is prime. Not 13 prime, but prime.

Make the insides outsides. It's pretty simple. Got a good killing method and a nice solid surface to work on?

I bought a small killing cone and have a kitchen shears. Thought the cone might make it easier since the bird won’t need a hand to be restrained.

Planning to skin and keep whole bird. Figure that sounds easiest for a first try. How much meat is left behind if you just breast it out?

Banty I apologize inadvance for asking this question, if you have already mentioned where you got you're button eggs, or maybe I missed seeing the post...but where'd they come from and how many eggs did you get?
