BUTCHERED QUAIL....PICS

After seeing Sam's pics I'd love to hatch some quail. I never had any idea
they were that plump.

Are they skinned out of preference, like some do chickens, or is quail skin no good?

Gonna have to wait until our 50 meat birds are ready for processing.

They are skinned out of preference.

Quail have very thin skin, so plucking can be harder to do well. There is a trick of putting them in the fridge a few days before plucking to help, among other tricks.

I plan on trying to pluck my quail. I'm a big fan of having the skin on the bird.

Yay, Sam! Thanks for posting those. I'm glad the recipe worked for you! I can't wait to try them, but it may be a while yet!

BTW... did you mail out the eggs on Monday or Tuesday?

They are getting here next week. 50 Cornish Cross and 50 Red Bros split between
Perfectly_Polish and I.

I expect your chicken cookbook to be done by then MP.

Just go through the recipe forum. I have tons of chickens recipes in there.

Oh my gosh... guess what we're doing tomorrow? 16 Cornish, 3 large Lt brahma roosters and a few very large turkeys are going in the freezer... I wish my quailies were big enough to do a few of them, too, but I don't have any "extra" adults (aka males) right now...

Geeez.... I have to wait to the end of the month until I can have some more! Those are some plump birdies there!
