We have been butchering them at the same time we do our chicken pullets - we have moved into skinning them instead of dunking and feathering them.<br /><br />You cannot mix them with chicken, and they cannot free range. The cage is on wire, with trays underneath to pull out the manure. They have installed dust bath's in each cage and they eat the organic laying pellets - the same as the chickens.<br /><br />It is fun. Now, to figure out the egg situation :) A fun thing. The house is beyond cute. They are really, really good at using scrap or thrift store items and making something practical - and they usually give it a coat of paint to make it look uber-cute.<br /><br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899369361471730544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855830304354279442.post-11901127066643632292010-09-24T08:03:50.686-07:002010-09-24T08:03:50.686-07:00I've never tried quail.
