Preparing To Raise Quail.
If you are going to raise quail you will have to plan your project. You will need to know what breed of quail you want to raise. This will help in determining the type of coops needed.
If you are starting out as a beginner, you will have to have everything you need in place before you make a purchase of eggs or chicks. Purchasing eggs will save you money as opposed to purchasing chicks. But if you are a first timer, you may have a bad hatch rate. Although if you plan on pursuing this venture you will at some point have to use an incubator anyway. Quail are not known to hatch their own eggs to well in captivity.
Here are the things you need to have in place before you purchase your quail. You will need an incubator, I suggest a fan forced air, self turning type incubator. You will need a brooder and brooding area. The area required is determined by the amount of chicks you will have. You will also need your grow out and pairing pens constructed. I would also suggest you check your incubator and brooder to make sure they are functioning properly before you order your quail.
