You skin or pluck? I'm skeptical of plucking being worth it. Tasty but tiring.

Bacon wrapped works in place of skin.

Have not processed quail yet, but I prefer skinning for chickens. I mainly eat old birds anyway and their skin is gross and rubbery.

I have a few males I need to off once they start fighting so I'll report back then.

Where is the best quail reference? I mean besides here. utube is all over the map. As usual. I like the ones that humanize the quail. Treat them like you would like to be treated.

I learned everything I needed to know right here on the forum. Read the stickies and the quail forum. They need a higher protein to be healthy and lay well. Search on your specific questions and you will find the answers.

Maybe young quail wouldn't be hard to pluck, though. Hand plucking is pretty easy, just time consuming on a big bird.

Done and did. Still think I missed something. I like Batty's "treat them like small, spazzy chickens" comment. I grok this.

Everything is a variation on chickens. Ducks are messy, hungry water chickens. Guineas are dumb stupid awful nasty chickens. Goats are giant browsing milk-producing chickens. Dogs are loud carnivorous potty--train-able chickens.
