Feeding Time
Here are a few pics from feeding time this morning. It is a chilly morning out.
The END of feeding time!!
Ranch Animal Alphabet - Q
31 for 21 - Q is for Quail
Oh, yet another animal to incorporate into our self-sufficient ranch someday! Check out the info below the pic! Thanks to How to Raise Quail for the statistics.
Incubation period: 18 days
Humidity for incubator: 50 - 60%
Move to hatcher/stop turning: 14 days
Matures at: 8 weeks
Benefits of raising: Fast-growing, easy to raise and the largest of the Coturnix varieties. These birds make great meat production birds or egg-layers. The eggs are more round in shape and can be hard to fit into quail egg trays, however.
Size/Weight: 14+ ounces
Breeding Ratio: 20 females to 5 males in one pen seems to be a great ratio.
Special Needs: Very few, these are fairly easy, laid-back to birds to raise who are hardy and seem to have very little problems.
