It would be pretty hard to have them for lunch. How would you process them? You would have to cook them with bones and all and dip them in some BBQ sauce. YUM!

I am back to waiting with 2 eggs again.

mmm coturnix in bbq sauce! I made quail pizza the other day, but put too much hot sauce in it it was TOO hot. I shoulda just enjoyed the quail as is (coturnix meat is DELISH)!

That sounds good. I am nervous about processing but I know I will have to with the extra males. Maybe I can find someone on craigslist to help me?

Lol! I never done it before and dont have the heart to do it. Every time I think about it and look at the roosters I think of when they where chicks and followed me around. If I have someone here to help it will make the process easier for me.

lol,, i know the first time is hard,, but after that it'll get easy

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I hope so. I never processed anything and I am wondering how would you go about gutting the quail? I have a hatchet that I can just give it a quick whack so it will be quick. I know it belongs in a separate topic but its easier to ask on this post

 

[the1much]

the smaller the knife the easier it will be,, ive never done quail,, pheasant is as small as ive done,, but i imagine you'll use ya fingers more then a knife

Hopefully I will do it right. Thanks for the info

Just make sure you chop down on the neck!! Not anything else like uhm..your finger!!!

 

[hypnofrogstevie]
