JUMBO COTURNIX - Selecting and Breeding for Weight

Interesting, my 3 week olds are 145 to 150 grams. My brought Goliath eggs are only 1 week old. Im hoping they are bigger.

How many male for female?

Great info. Thank you so much

Terrible life for these caged birds.

Do you sell processed birds for meat to the public/restaurants?

Hope to hear from u asap thank u very much very awesome videos

Hello good morning I wanted to purchase LIVE XL JUMBO PHAROH B1 from u I live in Compton California the biggest u have

Love the video content

That book your reading would make good kindling ,,

Selective breeding for weight?? ok I'm going to teach you the lesson my quail taught me last week...if you are selectively breeding for weight your quail should receive a limited restricted amount of food..... sounds counter intuitive but it's a fact, give what I'm saying some thought, if you still don't understand why this is the case message me...I'd rather you figured it out yourself instead of me sounding patronizing as I know you're an experienced breeder...... Honestly I can beyond any shadow of a doubt more than prove my point if it comes to that so please ask if needs must....That book your reading would make good kindling lmfao...I am a creative muse that has spent most of his adult life learning to see in ways most cannot.. You're not going to be able to highjack that by trying to suggest your steering me into those realizations just because you want me to be beholding to you...

Did you ever get a one pound quail?

Love your videos! Any progress on this project sir?

MY JMF (Southwest Game birds) wilds come this week. I am very interested in maintaining the gene pool and keeping weight up. I plan to run one covey for meat. Raise about 30 at a time and keep one roo and 5 hens as my matting pair. I will weigh them all at 6 weeks and consistently keep the biggest as my breeders. I think I can do 3 runs of quail each summer and only keep the pair over winter. Anything else you recommend for that size operation? How often should I order new eggs to keep the genetics fresh? I was thinking once ever 3-5 years would be sufficient.

What do you have for your latch system on your cages?

Very interesting, learned new things

It is fake no big quails

.is it possible to breed my coturnix quail upto jumbos by breeding my biggest birds ?

Where are you located in Florida

Do you happen to have any documentation that states that these are domestic quail? I’m trying to prove that these fall under the poultry category.

Could you discuss how you husbantry your birds

9 months later how close are you to 1 pound?

Hi, I'm located locally and interested in buying some hatching eggs

Pls talk to in Hindi, I am a indian

I am speaking from Bangladesh. I want to take the fertile egg of jumbo quail after 500. Can you give it to me?

How can i get this breed in india ?

How much get Jumbo quail weight in KG?

Hi, what is average butcher weight(grams) of your meat birds at 8 weeks or whenever you bztcher them usually and how much they eat to that point. Thanks!

Great information, can you tell me the size of your weighing cage, thanks

I would like to know how you are not covered in flies? I have to clean my poop trays daily or they are totally covered with flies

Love your perspective on crossing in New lines on your jumbo quail. Surprised you're not doing colors. Crazy question has anybody done a feed efficiency on quail?

Terry, will you be selling these eggs, I’m kinda just getting into it for meat and egg sustainability. Sure beats out rabbit days:)
These bigger birds make perfect sense to me.

What leg issue can they get in the future breeding if the bird is small?

For this selection what is the age?

How do you fatten up the quail. I feed a high protein diet as well as supplement with veggies and mealworms and can't seem to get them where I want them at about 15oz.

Hey im interested in buying some eggs from u .do u sell eggs from your junbo quail?

Hello from Australia, good video Terry. I will be breading primarily for meat & eggs, so this is timely.

Nice video my friend 👍🏼

How can i get quile egg?

For the cage you’re using to weigh, did you just do hardware cloth j clipped together?

Thanks for using the metric system, although I'm starting to get used to pounds and ounces 😁

I can't thank you enough for the time you put into these videos, and answering questions. I've been watching yours, along with My Shire farm videos (loved the last one you did together) among others to start my own quail journey. I appreciate the open sourced information among the community. Again I thank you, your wife, sister and everyone involved. See ya tomorrow night.

Love the video. Great process.

This is a great reminder on why we are doing this labor of food! Thank you.

I bought live chicks and they all died. Is it better to buy eggs to hatch? Where can I buy eggs?

I have absolutely no problem with your methods but you are a brave man to say that you cull 3 week old chicks for not making weight 😂

Hey Terry don't know if I missed it, but how many females are in the top cage. I see that you placed 3 males in there to how many females?

Interesting as always :) How high is the typical meat/live-weight? (i.e how much breast-meat will you get from a 350gr lady or 300gr roo?)

Hi all. I have a few quail males I want rid of. In a time like this, I am unable to take them to an auction. However I am uninterested in getting any money for them. I was first considering letting them go into the wild, but there are a lot of cats in my area so they would likely get killed. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do with these 4 males???
