I had to switch from chickens to quail because of noise complaints from neighbors. Quail make no noise, and I find I really enjoy the eggs.
I just put a batch of quail eggs to soak in a pickling solution of apple cider vinegar and beet juice. I will be adding cloves and cinnamon sticks and soaking until the end of the month. I hope they are tasty.
So far, I have found that food eaten vs food produced, the quail are amazing. They start laying at 6 weeks, and I keep them in a large pen with only 4 birds. I have yet to clean that pen and I've had the birds for 3 months. So, it looks like I should rake it out a bit but not like a chicken coop would after 90 days, that is for sure. Low maintenance and high production quail are winning my respect. And fertilizing my palm trees.
