Features: Arnie & Shirley Morris and their large Quail egg laying operation near Ardrossan, Alberta. At the time of our visit in 2012 they had nearly 12,000 birds on the farm which allowed them to ship about 250,000 eggs weekly. The egg yoke of a Quail egg is actually bigger than the whites. The shell is harder than a chicken egg shell and you have to use a serrated knife to cut them open. They also operate a hatchery and incubator on the farm.
those quails are NOT rare I dont know what theyre saying. Coturnix quail are actually the MOST common quail breed out there.
pikimchu yep
They might've been rare for his area at the time or he was just ignorant, irregardless, the person that he sourced them from probably upsold him one of those premises. Coturnix quail are by far the most farmed species around the world now.
I was about to say
A business secret!!☺
Maybe he just wants to put more value and increase the prices of his quails. Pricing strategy.
Coturnix quail aren’t a rare breed to find. They’re very common and kept by most .
Yeah they must live in a hole. Cots are the number 1 breed of quail... for meat and egg production. they have no clue what their talking about...
ROFL, I had the same reaction when I heard that. That guy must be quite a character.
They might mean in the numbers they need for their operation.
I had to come down and check the comments to see if anyone else noticed.
Seriously, you can find these guys within 30miles of you on craigslist. They are just very easy to breed, and you really only need a single mating pair to get started and then a new male every year. He likely has a larger number of males to that keep diversity up.
When I was a just a boy, it was common to run across a large covey of quail here in the south. Usually in a field, they would burst from cover, and your heart would almost leap from your chest. In the spring you could hear them calling all over the place, with the unmistakable bob-white. The last covey I saw here, was more than twenty yrs ago.. and they no longer sing.
I am not sure why youtube keeps recommending me quail videos, but theyre cool to watch none the less
I have watched this video many times & I loved it very much. A project like this is a dream for me and I want to materialize it soon
Youve got to start from somewhere man...
You want a factory farm? Good for you.
could you give them more space, access to grass, to sun. this would be better for them and for the quality of the eggs and the meet no ?
yes, but some people are fucking stupid, like these farmers.
I have two pet coturnix quails and they are the sweetest little creatures. I couldn't imagine them living in battery cages like this and I'm so glad I was able to save them from such a horrible life.
Perhaps not, but that doesn't stop them from being miserable. It's like putting a dog in a small kennel as a puppy and leaving it there it's whole life, never letting it out, never interacting with it, never giving it anything to play with. Sure, the dog's been in the cage it's entire life and doesn't know any different, but would you think it's happy living like that?
Yup. Greedy world we live in...
@@Kajra87 yes.
Bet they dead now
00:10 I wonder how they isolate the egg for them easy to pick it up.
They live on a grill who is kinda leaning that’s it’s not rocket science.
Cool automation! I read in the comments that many are jealous and know better about everything, but I bet none of the critics sell 250k eggs a week!
I’m not jealous, but this dude needs to keep them in better conditions
I don't raise my animals in cages but well done they look healthy and in well condition great job
You must raise yours to be eaten alive by cats, dogs, and birds of prey?
Yes, especial the males
I like raising them on our Homestead! Good video!
Not very fair to keep them in tight cages with their eggs on a conveyor belt but whatever makes you more money I guess
I hate you
Crazy how out of tune people are!
Never to see sunlight, awful housing
Well it depends...
Also never see a predator. So...
They have light bolts
My apartments called quail park village ain't even no quail over here
They ship 250,000 eggs weekly with just 12,000 birds? How is that possible?
J Lo it’s monthly not weekly
Good job sir I ve too start this quail farm from Nepal thank you
Nice!!..How is it going??...
I have also started in Ghana...
I’m planning to the same busses
I need help how to setup a plane and what i need to start from egg or birds first
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi mustafa I also want to start the quail breeding...from balochistan
That breed is not rare its actually the more common breed of quail you can order fertile hatching eggs off ebay
Plenty of them here in the wild in Australia.. good eating
yum
This video no doubt was edited to make sure that no deformed, mangled, or suffering birds are shown. After all why would the owner allow such a video to be produced otherwise?
Exoress Delivers oh boyy these quails are treated pretty well compared to other cage birds
Express Delivers I noticed you didn't have any videos of yourself. After all you wouldn't want people to see your ugly face.
The quail eggs are small but tasty. The quail meat is great if you marinate for 30 minutes before grilling.
Coturnix quail aren't rare, they're actually one of the most common quail in the world.
Coturnix were VERY rare when this was filmed in 2017.
😅 😅 😅 هنخخ1خ٢٨٨٢٣@8ش٩٧جهخ٩@٩
@@WestSide-hl1dl you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, sit down.
What a crap life these quail are given. Such a disappointing way to treat these lovely creatures.
Shut up idiot
Shut up you clown
So thats what those tiny frying pans are for.
These are salad bar item in restaurants although you might consume them at the main course. They are to be served boiled and peeled off.
There used to be a myth these eggs were afrodisíac, again a myth. They are a great compliment just as mushrooms on one’s salad.
The great thing about these eggs is that you do not need to grow them as schlock chicken farms with antibiotics and hormones , so they are supposed to be a healthy snack.
These quails will likely never see sunlight and wander in the fresh grasses,
what's your point?
Ok? Your point?
@@ryanhill6684 I think there point is that it's not the best housing looks to be wire ground too and this looks like a poor chicken layer environment wich I'm not a fan of like atleast give them something to walk on
@@rumvodkaf1 its torture zombie
@@ryanhill6684 would you want to be kept like this???
why are those birds in prison?
Multiple felony offenses, they’re on death row.
Hi, would you be able to share the manufacturer's information for the automated quail system?
Quail's expensive too it's like anywhere from $2 to $7 an ounce of course the biggest quail you can raise only gets up to 14 ounces and that's for the jumbo quail.
2:26
I literally have that EXACT same plate!😄
😂 that’s cool
Pretty plate.
I want to know how to separate female birds only for eggs?
The chicks running around looks satisfying.
Tasty too
I adopted my quails at a local butcher shop. They were in horrendous condition.
Heads chopped off n sheit
They shouldn't be standing on wire
Why?
Yeah it's better to let cats, dogs, fox, and birds of prey rip their bodies apart while they're still alive 😂
@@tropicalco2339 at least they'd get a chance of freedom there all cramped in there for our greedy needs
@@ryderbourget4698 I can fix all this arguing, I have a grill, you city folk have no respect for where you're food comes from. If you don't like it don't buy it and starve 👍
@@portwolf2293 I live pretty much in the woods and have guinea hens, ducks, and chickens, and they all have good space and live good lives. They cage them up like that to save time and money but at the cost of there freedom.
can you tell me where you got the equipment
I use to raise these same kind of Quail, the males use to crow much & I got so many eggs all the time.. These quail are raised much where I live.. Hardy birds.
The most impressive set up I've ever seen!!!
do chickens or quail need sunlight
the birds don't necessarily need sunlight if they are raised in buildings, there are many lights that mimic the light waves for daylight that have the correct spectrums etc etc. Think of a grow bulb for plants that don't get enough sun, its the same thing for the birds. To lay eggs the lights must be provided with 14 to 16 hours of daylight otherwise the birds wont lay.
Wow. Nice operation.
very cool thx so I'm wondering how you now eggs are fertilized?
very nice job and farm really here in morocco is rarelly to have a smail farm for production meal and eggs quails good luck
where can i find a quall farm in MD or close by, i'm looking to buy in quantity and on a regular basis
Your work is great, if I start in Iran, it earns money
who supplied the machinery?
Can quail be put on coccidiostats? I know some birds can't so I was curious. I noticed some blood spots in the manure is why I asked
Can u pls say about how often do you check Health conditions of quail ?
0:39 you don't need as much room. No you small brain you do. It's called compassion
Why do you keep chickens in cages do you hate chickens
No, but we do need food.
Hmmm I love quail eggs! My grandma raised quail and I remember as a little kid we would run around in the farm all day, and then she would ring a bell and all the grandkids would run inside to eat grandma's hard boiled quail eggs. We loved sitting around the table and peeling the eggs one by one.
Those were the days!
Can you help me where to buy the same cages as in this video for quail.Thanks
anyone have info on this cage setup?
Cool operation but I wish the adult birds could get a break off the wire... Don't look like they have a ton of space either. I mean it works, and it's economical, but a little sad.
How will they know if a quail died in the bottom of the cage
Hello, where to buy a tact of the site site of the manufacturer's website can be provided???
Are Coturnex the same as Button Quail?
We really enjoyed your video so fun and interesting
its an old video i know but Im down in the east coast Canada ive had coturnix for a year and they are sort of rare I mean the brown coturnix is a common color but I have to drive 2 hours to get my starter chicks and since im close to a city im surprised how many people want quail and eggs and bird. you can keep some in your apartment in a rabbit cage because they are "game birds" they have different regulations then say chickens or other poultry.
Amazing operation .... Good on you ..... But :
What a bullshitter ... I was 9 yrs old in Calgary, raising Coturnix .
They have always been common.
F*cK t-RumP so the coyotes have something to eat
@Fuck tRuMp idiot
@Fuck tRuMp like i said stupid, shaaat up!
why are they locked up in spaces that are so small?! this is not good.
It's Coturnix, not Cortnix and this this a very decent farm compared to many. Get ready to see quail eggs take over y'all! Don't they know about egg cutters yet though?
why does the feed need to move constantly
wooww this is so great i like quails so much im actually producing some right now
WOW AMAZING VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL
That was a wholesome and inspirational video. Thank you
This reminds me of one of those automated Minecraft item making machines.
Brutal
Awesome!! Would like to contact the owners
Keren, where is that, the country?
When it reach his best weight with special food? 2 month ?
What do you do with the boy quails who dont lay eggs?
hi i will like to get more info :1. how big is this setup need 2. the cost of it can u pls be able to share the info tq
I don't know if Shirley is easy to get along with, but she is beautiful in the video.
Offside
5:00 .why did he say (fifteen hundreds chicks)? Not a thousand and fifteen hundreds?
First it was battery chickens, now battery quail. What next?????
Battery humans
mr vlogs of course. We technically have invisible bars right now.
I would love to know what the cost to set up a operation like this?
Wash the eggs?
wow nice farming sir clean area good room temperature assure good quality quil egg.
I just got 18 button quails and coturnix and they grow fast.i made a big house for them in my greenhouse with lots toys and clean dirt for them to dust bath.i see all those birds in a small cages just eat,poop and lay eggs,nothing more
Can you do the quail farming on the terrace... Will it stink very badly...
Very informative and impressive 👌
Curious where i can buy the rollout egg cages
Should be on a. Ag show great video thumbs 👍up America 🇺🇸
How much if I want to start small business? Can I grow them in a big space instead of these small cages? Thanks, your help is appreciated.
Majid Lotfi yes you can grow them in large spaces
Can the eggs be hatch after such turns?
Many places sell them now. I just started raising some for myself this year. So far I have only eaten one egg. Given some away and pickled 4 dozen that will be ready to eat in a couple weeks. Lots off eggs for sale on eBay and form other places. I wouldn't call them rare.
where can we buy quails and the cage here in the Philippines
how much the price of 1 kg quail eggs. I am indonesia
They fight a lot, how do you control them?
Do you sell quail hatching eggs to outsiders?
