Quail - hobby, income, remedy...

Because of my constant lack of calcium and inability f my organism to absorb calcium from pills I had to consult a "green" health doctor, which did prescribe me some healthy shop product, precisely pills with quail egg shell. The results where slow and expensive, so I did decide to raise few of them, just for an experience. Now I ate the eggs and the shells I do incorporate in the vinegar used in salads.(click the photo)
The results did show up, and since I am a quail fan, even if I never did grow more than 40-50 birds.
Later forgetting about the health issues, I just did enjoy the culinary experiences, with the meat and eggs, they where working anyway.
I would persuade everybody to consume 2-3 fresh quail eggs per day, especially at my age.
Never mind, about this much more here, quail recipe, what I want to tell, raising this lovely birds is a joy itself. They sing beautifully, they amuse you with their behaviour, (quite alike humans) and the chicks... they are just wonderful, unforgettable.
My neighbour did put 4 eggs under a hen, and the resulting 3 chicks did grow up with the other chickens, never leaving their "mother"...isn't it amazing? These birds are very good to flight, what feeling kept them with the chickens and the hen?
I love them, the only problem is what I could not solve is what to do with the oldish birds, when you have to change them... because to eat them, is not an option.
Later my egg production did grow, so i did sell them to the 2 small hotels. So what is quail for me? joy, remedy and income.

As i told, i am keeping quails for my healthy diet. But because i really love them, and i would like other people having them too, i just make some pretty small cages, look here: quail cage gave me the DIY hobby too,and i sell them with a small quail family, mostly for parents who desperately are looking for a pet who is not hairy, or dirty, or tie the family to the house. The quails are perfect pets.
It is small money, but pleasant way to do it.

I am so shocked as my quails are , no doubt, about this very severe winter in Scotland. Every day i was worried about them, how they will survive the cold, especially at night. The sites about quails are telling nothing or giving the +16 C degrees as min temperature to keep the quails.
And guess what? My quails not only look better than ever, healthy feathers and even weight gained, but they are laying eggs, continously, obviously with the light on at least 15 hours per day. I found frozen eggs, once, what is a waste, but otherwise everything turned out all right.
I am so anxious to share such an information about the quails, so bye, and hurry to get some of this wonderful birds, for the whole family's benefice. Quails are surviving at -7 C degrees, at least. I did not got the possibility to bring further this experience - thank God!.

These are my birds, i love the japonica quails, which are not difficult to raise, resisting to the temperature changes of novadays,very good egg production (about 240-270 per year) and you may release them, to save the specie or the opposite, to hunt them yiaaak.
