If you are limited on space, or just over your chickens, but you love the thought of raising your own meat and eggs, you might want to consider raising quail. Due to their small size, they are ideal for those who want something relatively easy to care for.
Quail Meat
Quail meat is considered to be quite the delicacy. It is tender, juicy, and a tad more flavorful than chicken. Purchasing quail meat from a grocery store will not only set you back a couple of big bucks, but it is also hard to find. If you want to try quail before you buy quail, consider a date night at the fanciest restaurant you know.
Raising quail for meat can be quite lucrative, so if you are looking to start a new meat operation, quail will probably make you some decent dough.
My ancestor was Captain Michael Koonce of Jones Co NC. He and his wife served the American Revolution, and thus my pathway into the Sons of the American Revolution.
