Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I love this. It takes me back to the war years in London, England when I was a boy. I used to buy day old chicks from the pet shop and raise them to supplement our food that was rationed. We had no electricity then. I used to fill a rubber hot water bottle. Wrap it in a towel and put that and the chicks in a cardboard box. Some didn't survive but quite a few did and did was intended. They fed us. Keep the videos coming. They are always interesting.
You have a wealth of information on how to survive shortages that is of incredible value! Thank you for sharing your nugget of information ♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing your experience! You just gave us an idea of what to do when there is no electricity! :)
That is so interesting.
It is cool to here how your family stayed alive back in the war days like that. I never heard much about them days.
Thank you for sharing!
I started out with 10 quail. Now I have 28 quail. I'm having too much fun with this.
Thought chickens were the gateway bird!
Quail are the new chicken...
I have a dozen laying hens, also. Been raising chickens for 12 years now. Just started with quail this year. I'm finding the quail more enjoyable to raise.
Any update on everyone's quail?
@@maryjane_nizi Im having over 20 birds a week hatch, I have anywhere between 70 to 100 birds at any given time. Fixing to have to cull my original set of breeders. That's going to be sad. I call them my OG's lol
They are not laying efficiently anymore and it's a waste of feed. I have juvenile birds ready to take their place soon. It's been fun
The quail are nice but, the happy dogs in the back ground stole the show for me!
The one licking himself/herself non stop was so distracting! Does your dog have allergies??
My wife asked can we do this. I heard we are doing this🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for your time, videos, and knowledge.
I couldn't stop watching the dogs. 😂😂
I started with 20 Jumbo quail It has now been a year. I has now grown to more than a hobby. I currently have 200 of my own quail in the Incubator.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with boxes of canned goods on the floor in my house,🤣 I’m going to dispatch some quail this morning! Then I’ll start a hatching! Love how fast they grow!
SAME HERE! I want to start a few quail up as soon as it warms up outside.
Me, too. My jars are on my table-gotta clean a pantry shelf off! We'll start a new batch of quail after we butcher in December. I love them. I thank Sarah and Kevin for getting me started on quail.
@@patriciajones9711 I have an island, and every year my goal is to finally get it cleaned off for thanksgiving!🤣
Haha all the butternut squash everywhere too I absolutely love it 😂
My place has 5-gallon buckets everywhere.
It's honey. My "bank".
When you get into hobby beekeeping big time you end up with buckets.
Excellent hatch rate, I've been raising jumbo cortunix quail and Northern Bob White quail for several years. Anytime I can get over a 50% hatch rate with my farm innovator incubator I feel like it's a success. I've been wanting to get a new incubator for a couple of years now, and you've motivated me to pull the trigger on the purchase. Another great video by Living Traditions Homestead.
I was thrilled to see that you showed the complete process in ONE video! The chain of events from receiving the eggs to hatching made perfect sense and I loved this! I have only really seen Quail in the wild where I live, I am sure someone raises them, but I have not seen them for sale and I am thinking this would be a great adventure. THANK YOU!!! and God bless!
Check out Craigslist if you are looking for local, but Myshire ships all over. They are in Ohio and I am in California and I hatched from the.
I could watch Kevin all day talking about the quails 😊 Imagine how excited he was when he had the children lol 😊👍🇭🇲
MyShire is awesome and has a fantastic quail community. Good luck with these babies.
oh I miss my quail so much! I used to raise them in my apartment, I had all the meat and eggs I could eat. but eventually I had to stop as it was just too messy. but I so miss hatching out the chicks, it was the most fun I have had in my senior years. keep up the good work on your farm I so enjoy watching you. (I am an old lady in a highrise!)
Raising them inside your apartment? What?
That sounds amazing!😊
I’ve hear if you put rocks in their water dish it can help with them not getting too wet.
That is a great idea! One of them looked so deep. They would never be able to get out of it.
Yea, quail chicks are prone to drowning or getting chilled the first few days while they get their motor skills developed.
Myshire is the best. They really take their business very seriously and provide quality eggs, etc.
Brilliant idea to show the full stages of the egg to hatching process all together in one video. Great job! This has helped me with figuring whether I can handle them on my own. Love your channel! ♥️
Sarah's smiles are like what a new momma has❤ this is so wonderful
I wanted to start with 16, now I have 70 myshire babies in my brooder. You got me into QUAIL! Thanks man
Nice!
Very interesting! I love the tenderness of quail eggs. This video was wonderful to watch because you had all the stages edited together wonderfully. Looking forward to seeing the birds grow!
I have to admit that I was watching the dogs on the couch, while Kevin was talking. 😊
They came to help when they heard those babies chirping!
@@rhondaborders3452 I saw that. They are sweet dogs. I wish Kevin and Sarah would show them more.
This is exciting! Quail have been on my want list for a while! Thanks!
That waterer is for chickens!!? They'll get in an get wet and or drown.....get some marbles or a quail waterer. Best of luck!
Great news on the jumbo quail hatch rate. I wonder how is Myrtle and the piglets? You guys are such a joy to watch. God bless and have a great Thanksgiving.
Love the doggie on the sofa!!
I am excited for you and the new large quail. The babies look like popcorn jumping around in the incubator.
What a fantastic hatch rate. Those chicks are so cute. In AZ we would say the baby quail looked just like little walnuts.
My Mom calls the native California quail babies "walking walnuts".
Good Morning to my favorite homestead family!! Thank you for helping us all so much.
I know nothing about raising birds. I am amazed you can mail eggs to someone and they get them and they are whole and viable to hatch.
Thanks Kevin, that was really fun learning for me. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
Exelent production.
Thanks for the video.
Time to build an Aviary! 😂 Gosh that's so many! Congratulations 😊
I love the beagle in background... I didn't realize all the difference in quails. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving
Notice all the canning jars
I love a show within a show. Your dogs are so cute!! They came running when they heard the chicks.
I started with 13 Coturnix quail, bought a cheap incubator and quail rails from a home and farm store, and by the end of my first year I had well over 100 quail. Our hatch rate was nearly 90%. It was definitely a great return on our investment. We had customers for the eggs at our church and harvested several batches of birds. I found eviscerating the small birds a little tedious, but I probably just didn't have my technique down to speed through them.
Mine always got into those kinds if waterers. I had to go to the smaller ones
Big WOWZERS on the success rate! I'm glad you linked all of the videos together. My first thought was "Oh, dang. I'll be waiting for these chicks to hatch. At least it won't be as long as the piglets!" And then, WOO-HOO! We used to incubate chickens and this brought back some good memories. Thanks for showing us all of your adventures.
What a great success with the hatch rate! I know they are for food, and theres certainly nothing wrong with that, but darn it if they arent just adorable. Congratulations on your re-endeavors. God bless and happy Thanksgiving, Shirley.
It can be hard to harvest meat from animals you've been raising but is part of the process
They sooooo cute! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@Off-GridI just watched Papa butcher or on My Shire. I'm not sure I have the nerve for it.
I've raised koternix quail to train dogs and they're quite tasty. 😉
@@Off-Grid Hardest part is sharpening the knife..
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Put a smile on my face first thing in the morning. God bless
The one that hopped backwards into the warmer 😂😂😂 i ordered scarlet fee from myshire and im super excited to watch them hatch. I love your vids thank you!
So cute. Loved how one Chick backed into heat carrier, it was so cute
LOVE seeing your incubator & brooder setups + I truly appreciate that you showed the entire process (so far). Fun to watch you REALLY get back into raising Quail. Your quail & rabbit videos is really what got us watching your channel. Can't wait to see the many vids to come. Also truly loved seeing the cameo appearances of your sweet pups!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
This was very interesting. Thanks for not making us wait. 😆
You can't go wrong with Myshire. The jumbos are huge. I have the whites, wilds, and white-wing. Docile and fun to work with.
Great video. Thanks for doing beginning to end (almost). Can't wait for the next update to hear final results and how you will set up the new flock in the cages you purchased.
It's nice that their videos are more thorough than others
I saw where there is a quail plucker machine just like the chicken on. Just little
I have one that attaches to a drill.
BEAGLE !!!!! AHHHH OOOOOO !!!!! MORE VIDS W/ THE BEAG !!!!
I just put my Jumbo mix quail eggs from Myshire in my incubators also! We’re going to try and raise 400 a month. Cool incubator! We’re getting the Wynola cages also. I am so happy you’re back into quail so I can see how you all raise them. Thanks for showing us your journey with them.
Wow! 400 a month! You’re going to be busy!
I got eggs from Myshire 5 days ago, in the incubator at this point, looking forward to baby chicks before Christmas.
Love to see the Bible In the background! God bless!! The 🐶 also, super cool video definitely different.
Love myshire farm !!!!
I can't cope with how adorable they are! Lovely.
I'd love to see a processing and preparing video. I haven't quite wrapped my brain around why quail...
I happy to see you too are happy and excited 👍
Thank you Kevin & Sarah. Top video. God Bless you all in Love. ( shared to f/b )
Thanks again for great info! HAPPY AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING TO YOU GUYS AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏
Bought Myshire eggs a few years ago, they are a awesome seller
Fantastic! Super! What a great community! I'm so excited for you! This is a huge leap forward with your quail adventure. Your excitement for these little lives shines in every video you do. This is surely a Kevin thing on the homestead. Blessings on your journey down this new path of Jumbo Quail. DID YOU HAVE TO BUILD MORE CAGES BEFORE THEY HATCHED? 💚🌞
82% of mail eggs is extraordinarily great.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY
Fun! I’m so interested in learning more from you to also raise quail for our home. Are you willing to sell your used incubators at a discounted price? I can save money for it if needed. I haven’t been able to buy a new one or used one for that matter. Thanks! Love y’all! I’ve learned so much from your videos!!!
Tgey are so tiny. We have raised chickens for meat, but I never thought about quail before. Now I’m going to have to watch all of your quail videos.
Great video. I really enjoy going back and watching the ones I missed along the way.
This is so fun. Cute lil chicks!
Was just watching the video on smoking Venison.
It's cold here in TN. It's 25 degrees! I need a heated bunny suit, With FEET! So I can get in my chair, get my coffee, and watch Kevin and Sarah!
Hope the piglets are warm!
Have to stay on top of the egg gathering or they will freeze.
GOD bless
I used to have a beagle, Molly, that slept on the back of the couch like yours!
Great video. IMO...... You can't beat a Brindsi for great hatch rate and ease of operation. Looking forward to seeing more "Quail Adventures" Happy Thanksgiving.
They're so cute and fluffy 😙
Adorable little quail.
Sorry your dogs were distracting me. Adorable x
I hope you are going to take us through to the processing of these quails. I would love to set up a sustainable food source here on long island in NY. I have thought about chickens but our property isn't very large and we use most to garden. This has me intrigued! Thank you so much
Even if they end up choosing to not go through the process and sharing it I'd highly recommend it for an urban environment. I live in a city, not huge like NYC or anything and I have a backyard where I built a 6'x8' run attached to 2 hutches. We built it in a way where I can easily separate it into 2 runs if I need them separate bc of size or breeds, but for the winter I took the divider out so they have the full run since they are barely laying anyway. Anyway, they really are easy to manage care for with the right setup and pretty tasty. My family likes them in stews best!
@@h.s.6269 Thanks so much - I'm seriously considering starting this spring. I just need to study up and get more knowledge.
Absolutely darling and the music that played while watching them in the brooder was great. Congratulations!!
Received 15 eggs from my Amazon order. 7 hatched. Day +3 since last one hatched. All 7 are still alive. Eating, drinking and walking good
I did help 2 out of the shell. One was upside down. Both of those babies are alive and look to be the same size and just as active as the others
Thanks to this channel and others. Great advice and it helped.
I ordered 50 quail eggs got 60.
Unfortunately 4 hatched my shire
Honored their guarantee. I'm trying again with a new nurture right 360
& a hovee thermometer. I'm new to
This and I really don't want to give up. Good luck.
Alright. Alright. I'm sold. Gonna start researching quails now. I didn't know there was a jumbo version. The small sized ones didn't seem worth the time, energy & cost to keep them. Congrats on the successful hatching rate, btw!!
This is awesome! I know you have tons of experience raising birds, but I have some suggestions that may help. Is the bottom of your incubator non-slip? If not, you can put down the shelf liner with the holes...this will prevent splayed legs. For your waterer, of you put marbles or rocks in the dish part, it will prevent them from trying to go swimming and also from drowning. These babies are tiny and I've heard stories and seen pictures of them climbing up into the food containers and suffocating--if you feed on the floor the first several days, they can grow big enough to avoid this. I tape the holes to make them smaller so they can't fit in. I'm excited you are getting back into quail!
Amazon has a quail waterer that is more shallow, works great.
@@Alexis_9339 I still put marbles in those.
@@katrinakrakow5961 hmm, I’ve never had an issue. Thanks for letting me know!
I use the more narrow waterer bottoms, and since marbles don't really fit that, I use washed gravel, picking through for the proper sizes. (I also didn't need to pay for marbles if the gravel here was free!)
@@diannt9583 I use small marbles from Michael's craft store.
Wow so impressive and interesting quail population growing
How interesting that is. Loved watching you go through the steps of hatching them. I'm glad you put it all in one video. I hate to have to wait in the middle. lol You have a wonderful set up there. I'm so glad it is working very good for you. I want to wish you and your a very Happy Thanksgiving. I pray this next year will be full of blessings for you and your family. Remember to stay safe, stay well. God bless.
This is very exciting for you! Glad that there was such a high rate of hatched babies. Your 2 beagles sure were cute when they came to check out the noise 😄❤
Cuteness overload.
I know! They were like "I finally get to see what's inside! Can I eat it?"
Great video from start to finish. I appreciate the time involved to share with us. Thank you!
great video all is looking good .
Nice that u showed start to finish of hatching these eggs all in one video...I like that....Hope all is going well with them.
Goodmorning family hope you have a blessed day and God Bless Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Amazing 👏...
A $1.00 per jumbo quail egg from MyShire farms sounds good 👍
Your beagles are so cute in the background.
@Sarah & Kevin :: AMAZING job with this :)
Excellent fertility for shipped eggs!!! yes, usually 50%.
Yea on you returning to quail! I live in the city and none of my neighbors know I have quail!! I ave 22 females and 5 males of Jumbo cortornix quail. I just harvested the other males 16 of them. Average weight 14 oz!! The breeders are almost old enough to breed and then I’ll be filling that incubator!! My breeders are also eggs I hatched from Myshire farms!
ya' know what I see... I see you care. it is important. You handle them very carefully
This is so exciting! I loved how your curious dogs came scrambling to greet the new chicks... lol! With inflation hitting through the roof right now I'm thinking of getting a few quails for eggs to begin with. I hope you do have a video on that and will look for it. Thanks, Lajo
I’m getting eggs from Myshire, scheduled to arrive Friday. First time having quail & I’m so excited
Omg sooo cute 🥰 👍🏻
Love Love Love this video. money well spent.
Great video, thanks. I love the Quail. I'd love for you to one day talk about the economics of raising the quail for meat. Not really the fixed cost like the incubator etc, but variable costs like food. I just wonder about the costs as opposed to buying. I know that isn't considering the difference in purity and quality. Maybe you could even do similar videos with your beef cattle and chickens and ducks. Anyway, thanks.
It's great to hear more about yout return to quail raising 🤠
Beautiful! You may want to put pebbles in the waterer. I have those type and quail water bottoms. I've just started a couple months ago raising and hatching quail. I also have button quail. They are so tiny. Just love watching them hatch. You did an awesome job with this video. 💕
I'm a big fan of your channel and just watched this video last night because I'm finally considering raising quail. I looked up myshire farms only to find that they are in the next town over from me! I think it's definitely a sign that I'm moving in the right direction! Thank you for all of your videos! I've watched all of your rabbit videos multiple times while I was learning the ropes with raising rabbits and the videos have helped me tremendously! Btw, I have the same incubator and absolutely love it!
Great vid. I’ve ordered from Myshire and wouldn’t go anywhere else. They are fantastic.
I needed this beautiful video today. Living my dream through you both. Thanks for having me. Been 4 or more years. Happy Thanksgiving 🐣 love you all.
Good morning! Hope you and family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have wanted to raise quail for quite sometime, maybe now I'll do it. Thank you for all your hard work making these videos. God bless you all.
So funny/sad story… we had and hatched quail when I was a kid. I loved them. Then I learned that my parents planned on them being the main course for a big dinner party. As you know…. Quail don’t really fly far. A friend and I decided that if we gave them a ‘head start’, they would be able to fly to safety. I lived on an almond orchard, which had tall wind machines on it (VERY tall - several times higher than the trees). We loaded the quail into a crate and lugged them up the ladder. We wished them well, and flung them off the wind machine platform to freedom. …….. It did not go well. Only a few of the quail survived our rescue attempt, and they were injured. We loaded them back up and ran to my dad for help. That was over 35 years ago, and is still routinely brought up with a laugh. “Remember that time you killed all the quail rescuing them?” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
