Question

i live in MN and i am thinking of raising quail. what to they taste like? how do you raise them?

i have a old farrowing stall that i currently have 50 chickens in- how much space do they need?

Answer 1

They are great eating but it takes quite a few to make a meal as they are very tiny.
The meat is light like chicken breast and simmalar in taste. A little gamier. But I have only eaten wild ones. I have never rasied them.
They are very tiny and you have to have a very secure pen to keep them in. They are fast and wild. They eat a game bird food available at most farm supply sotres. Some areas have restrictions on how many you can raise or you will have to have a permit. You can buy live birds in farm supply stores in the spring or order them from
www.mcmurrayhatchery.com or
www.welphatchery.com
Both places have very nice birds.
I have ordered birds from both companies and they have nice quality birds.

I carry Quail and I consume them and the eggs. When you develop your possess vegatbles to your residence lawn and lift your possess meat, you recognize what your eatting. I wrote a Ebook and its on so much Ebook internet websites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It can also be learn at the Kindle, Color Nook, or any Device. Its a effortless and amusing learn. Its known as Quail Notes. By writer Garry Higgins. Below is a snapshot I took of a sooner or later historic quail. Small, robust little birds.

Answer 3

You raise them the same way you raise chickens. I love quail stuffed with onion, wrapped in bacon and dipped in red wine. They taste a lot like cornish hens. Why not try buying a few at you local butcher/grocery store (although only a few carry them in my area) and try them before you start raising them. My husband does not like to eat them because there isn't much meat on each bird

Answer 4

they don't need a lot. I don't know what they taste like. Go on Ebay and buy some eggs or go to someplace like mcmurrayhatchery.com to order babies, you just raise them like chickens but use non medicated chick starter
