Raising Quail Articles

Overcrowding can result in death, when you raise quail. Remember that quail are wild by nature, even if you incubated and hatched the eggs yourself, this fact cannot be changed.

You will never be able to give your quail the amount of space they would have in the wild but you need to provide enough room to make them comfortable. This can create higher costs for you up front, but will help create better results in your quail raising venture in the end.

What amount of space is required for raising quail? This is what I consider a good starting point. Allow 1 square foot for 3 chicks until they reach 1 week of age. After your quail are one week of age, then give each quail 1 square foot.

Overcrowding can cause many different problems when raising quail. Your management of this situation will help in avoiding many of these problems and help keep your quail alive.
