Raising Coturnix Quail for beginners raises a lot of questions like:
- How do I know if my Quail are happy?
- How do I know if there's too many males?
- How do I know if a quail is sick?
These Coturnix Quail show beginners what they should look for while keeping and raising them.
It all starts with observing your new quail. I raise mine on a regenerative farm - I try to mimic nature as much as possible. Of course, with any animal that's raised in a cage, nature is relative.
Coturnix Quail behavior will vary pending on the enviroment they live in. These quail are in their winter coop - which doesn't move throughout the season. They'll be moving to a mobile coop this spring but until then, I'm observing their behavior. I want to determine:
- Best overall traits for breeding program
- If male to female ratio is correct
- Are they happy by demonstrating natural cleaning and foraging behaviors
This video shows natural preening and grooming behavior. Fresh, green grass is in the coop to encourage natural foraging. Sand piles are available for quail to use for dust baths, beak cleaning, and give extra room for males to reduce fighting. The video also shows males observing courtship rules - great trait for healthy birds.
Missing feathers on the back of the females head shows either male to female ratio is too high or an aggresive male may be present, which will be removed from our breeding program.
I will need to spend more time observing to determine if any males need to be culled.

Enfin une vidéo qui ne fait pas les louanges de l'élevage en clapier à 60 oiseaux par m2!! Merci!
What a wonderful video! Very helpful to those who are looking for a more natural quail habitat. Thank you for making it!!
Awesome set up, gotta post a build vid or a matience vid
This is so helpful. It’s hard to find information on how to breed towards peaceful quail beyond “send the mean ones to freezer camp.”
Glad it was helpful! We do cull but only if providing space doesn't work. I've found it hard to get information on how to raise quail and other homestead animals regeneratively so gladd to have your comment!
I had 6 hens and 2 roos in 3'×2' pen one roo got beat up pretty good before I found him. Put him in a pin to heal. Two days later added 3 of the hens in his pin. No more problems.

Nice video! Quails are such funny little animals. My male quail is always trying to court the girls in his pen but they never really care for him hahaha.
I never thought about buying sod patches for my pen. I may do that this winter for them!
I use the waste from edging my yard for my quail and chickens, it works pretty well
@@ArtByKarenEHaley I've got sand down, was thinking about making false garden beds along the edges and putting some sod down. They like to eat the earwig bugs out of the sand and dirt. I'll stack up some of the yard trimmings, that's genius. I gave one of my lone males a patch of it today and he's been digging around all day looking for bugs.
Soooo,
I neeeeed more how to guides in putting quail together!
Certainly when there's more than.lne male and at least 2 more dominant hens and a flighty one (males hate chaos so it seems, so flighty hens disturb the peace and seem to make m agressive).
Can I eventually house my couples together?
I have one well established couple, one working on their bond and one I'm gonna try to set up
It would be nice to at least have their forage space mixed.
I keep them separated right now.

How do you clean them out? My 4 quail go nuts when I try to clean their environment and one even escaped! Thankfully I was able to catch her but its all very stressful for them and me! Any tips?
Hi! I use moveable/mobile coops and move the coop once the area is manured. In this setup for winter, I add green material and dry wood chips and clean out in the spring. Adding green material and wood chips aids in the decomposition of the manure and allows the birds to have a cleaner environment. Hope that helps!
What I really wanted to know was can you move the coop with the quail inside, without any escaping or getting stressed?
@@suzannemortimer9752 Yes! Move very slowly and the quail will move from the edge being pulled forward. It always helps to have a helper shoo them away from the back that is scooting. I do not lift the coop too high either. Good luck! :D
