BRB, your recipe sounds great too me.

Would it work with chicken eggs?

I got chickens.....no quail. How do quail compare to chickens as far as being low maintenance to keep? I love eating quail.

Quail are also low maint. Just require higher protein feed to maximize growth and egg production. I like the way the smaller eggs take the seasoning, just more work pealing the small eggs. Small batam eggs would probably work as well.

JDphish , as far as production go's ,,,Quail SMACK chickens. In fact for protein output they smack near ANYTHING.
Ease of care very similiarto chickens , probably easier.

hell , Im hooked already and my first lot are only 4 weeks old

second lot came out of the bator yesterday & are powering through the food ...12 more hatching in 2 days ...

quail farming here we come !

Everyone thanks for the info.

The quail are little eating, drinking, and growing machines. Didn't take me long to to decide to install the auto poultry watering bowls. Trying to design a large volume feeder that they won't spill so much feed. And on a side note I found out they love BSF larva as much as the chooks and they don't waste them.

cool...I think I would like to grow some too....

Boris, where did you get your's from ?
