Quail and rabbit...

[kyboy]

My rabbit hutch. I usually raise several gangs of san juans every year but my buck got loose, kinda hard to raise any without him

Couple nice quail hens and a rooster.

kyboy, do you raise the quail to release? How many do you usually raise? Are the san juans a bigger rabbit? How are they to raise?

[kyboy]

I just raise the quail for fun really. the san juans look just like a wild rabbit. Lots of dog hunters use them to train beagle pups with, myself included. I usually sell to them.

These are the quail that I have.



I ordered the orginal as hatch eggs off of ebay. They hatched surprisingly well. I think 13 out of 20. Since I have tried to hatch my own. I have had hatches, but the chicks never survive. I only have 3 left. I may give it another go this spring, we'll see.

One thing about these guys, is they lay eggs like crazy! And they are perfect for pickling. But man, they peel hard!

mike629 & kyboy nice looking birds always wanted to raise quail but guess i just never got around to it do you eat any of these birds?

[mike692]

The plan was to eat the extras. But since I never had any extras I had to pass.

Those jumbo white coturnix get pretty big too. They really are a great source of food.
