Coturnix v bobwhite quail - which should you get?
zhlédnutí 78KPřed 5 lety
Congratulations! You've decided to get quail! But which kind should you get? Bobwhites or coturnix? I did both, and I have an opinion.

    I really appreciate the info in this but just a heads up on releasing bobwhites, they will all die. If any bird has been reared by any being other than a mom bird of that species or a wildlife rehab specialist they will not be able to survive as they have imprinted on people and don't have the skills to survive.

    In nc we have Georgia giant bobwhite which have eggs year round eggs are larger and the size of the bird is 3 times larger they are also calmer / domesticated . We also have Wisconsin jumbo bobwhite . The first is great for coastal regions and piedmont the 2nd best for mountain region of nc . You don’t need a liscense in nc and definitely not for the domestic ones

    I loved my ducks. But I don't have them anymore. Sold some and gave them away for Christmas gifts. The are all doing good. Maybe someday, I will get ducks again. On my channel I have a Duck and Ducklings playlist. Learn a lot about them.

    When you want to set the Bob Whites quail free you have to wait until they are 16+ weeks old before set them free.

    Your comparing a crow to a game rooster!!! Courtnix are a waste of time and feed. The crow would taste better. The Bob White however is the best meat on the planet!!!!! Yeah, they are harder to raise but certainly well worth it!!!

    I bought 100 bobwhite hatchlings from a game bird hatchery. Give 30 to my dad, I built a 4'×8' pen for the 70 I have left. Easy to take care of and feed. I gotta rake the straw bedding out once a week. Very enjoyable..

  • @loganlin6109
    @loganlin6109 Před 2 lety

    In my opinion the bobwhite quails are prettier and more unique/cool to look at but the coturnix quail are much more practical in most ways. ALTHOUGH I’ve heard of people having success with natural hatching more so with bobwhites than with coturnix which makes sense since bobwhites are wild and haven’t had the instinct bred out of them.

    I have raised several thousand coturnix. Thought I would try the Bob whites for a friend that hunts with his dog. The Bob whites are nasty nasty birds. They kill each other by ripping off their top beaks. You have to separate them instantly. I will never do Bob whites again.

    Why do you buy a second incubator if one egg type takes longer to hatch? That is not at all logical and something that everyone would do. Normally people just put the eggs that hatch faster in the incubator after the ones that take longer, it's that simple!

    • @silkorsilkie
      @silkorsilkie Před 3 lety

      Addition: Bobwhites are much more afraid of everything than coturnix quail, BUT that hatchrate of yours was just bad luck or the wrong breeder.

    I came across a bob white male when young as a pet opportunity....lucky for this lil shit I’m a huge animal person and I’ve always wanted a bird. So he stays with my other herbivors...but it’s true they rlly r kinda wild. He only likes me and legit attacks everyone else. Still he’s my precious bird boy

  • @jesuschristismylordandsavi6108

    I have raised both. Coturnix----Fast growers BUT require twice as much feed. Fast growers BUT poop twice as much and it is very liquidy. Dark meat birds one level worse than chicken dark meat. Calm as chickens, can be handled no problem Can be cramped together with fewer problems. Vocal sounds irritating. Bob Whites---Slower growing BUT eat half as much feed as coturnix Slower growing BUT poop half as much and poop is much dryer. White meat birds much more tender and tastier than chicken. Not calm. cannot be handled. They want to excape all the time. Cannot be cramped together. Vocal sounds are absolutely beautiful. All in All: I have gotten rid of my coturnix and have Bob Whites. I have not tried Some sites are saying that activity controls the color and taste of meat. Hogwash. Coturnix are dark meat birds period. Bobwhites are white meat birds period. Enough of that. I have been raising birds since I was 10 years old and now am 63. Bobwhite quail meat is so tender that you cannot soak it in buttermilk like you would chicken breast. It will dissolve. The most tender bird meat I have ever eaten was bob white breast meat. I have eaten most birds including crow. If you enjoy white meat then wait until they mature. If you enjoy dark meat and fast turnover then put up with all the wet poop and large feed bills.

      Don't be worried bobwhites take a little longer to raise but they give you white meat instead of very dark meat and they dress out more meat than the coturnix quail.
