Episdoe 2601: Quail Mania II is near and quail are
the sustainable meat and egg bird for everyone
The Coturnix quail is quietly revolutionizing the self-sustainability movement.
Have you found yourself dreading trips to the grocery store for meat and eggs? Do you dream of producing your own food, but feel like it’s out of reach due to space, time, or experience? Coturnix quail offer a practical, achievable path toward food independence.
This small bird packs a powerful punch. With daily egg production, rapid growth, and a quiet nature, Coturnix quail are ideal for small spaces. And if you have a larger property and tried chickens—but found the slower growth frustrating—quail may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Quail are easy to care for, come in a wide range of beautiful colors, and can be processed humanely without specialized tools. Whether your goal is eggs, meat, or both, they fit seamlessly into a sustainable lifestyle.
Quail Mania is a free, virtual summit that brings experienced breeders from across the country together to teach you everything you need to get started—so you can move from curious to confident with quail.
