Good Morning All,
I myself have button quail (for fun) and Cortinex (sp) quail. The meat is a light dark but wonderful. My daughter-in-Law makes up these spices to go with them and cooking time is low. They say it takes 2 quail per person, but my neighbor attacked 4. Anyway, I also pickle the eggs along with the button quail eggs. My neighbors love them. I prefer to just take all the skin off instead of plucking them.
As for letting them lose on the farm. I don't have a farm but about 20 of my first ones got loose so I imagine I will be having them around for a while. My son finally build me a quail proof shelter yesterday, thank goodness.
I also have cornish hens with are not only lacking in brains but are messy as all get out.
