I’m curious how the diet is going! 28 days is something to be proud of!

 

Coot are petty hard on other ducks to! Will kill the eggs. They got ugly feed, sure is fun to water swat em though!

Ugliest feet this side of the mississippi!​

 

Great article. Grew up hunting wild quail with my dad in MO. Very challenging sport, and very fun. Good to learn of your experience with farming them. Believe we were shooting Korean quail.

 

Ducks get as close as they can to where you are. Then they shit on everything and drink water. Then they shit on everything again to keep it nasty until you eat them. It doesn't seem as attractive at that point as in the beginning

5x I tried free range ducks. Never again.

I am a huge fan of both quail meat and the pickled eggs!

 

Dad and I never hunted quail, though it was very popular here in North Florida. Back in the late 90s when I worked airport security, we would see a lot of styrofoam boxes filled with frozen quail come through the baggage x-ray. Hunters came down, shot the birds on plantations, had them cleaned, frozen and boxed, then took them back home on their flight.
We did do some occasional dove hunting here, but they were pretty scarce.

 

We used to hunt wild quails but now the raccoon population has exploded that these bandits eat quail and turkey eggs.
We could use a good raccoon flogging in the parish.

 

Fire ants and feral cats are also hell on quail. To nest is to die.

 

Yep, feral cats are a huge danger to birds. They kill huge numbers every year.

 

I saw so much produce go through our airport! The quails, local pork sausage, local honey, local berry jelly, and others. Made my mouth water.
