Discover how a homesteading family raises quail using Hatching Time brooding and breeding equipment. In this video, they walk us through the full setup—sharing how efficient, clean, and rewarding it can be to raise quail at home using a well-designed system.
Starting with a quail brooder, the chicks grow in a warm, clean environment before transitioning to stackable quail breeding cages. Once they are fully feathered, the quail are moved into durable quail cages with manure trays, automatic nipple drinkers, and feeding troughs. The family upgraded to 5-gallon water tanks connected by flexible hoses and T-adapters, making watering efficient and hands-off.
The Hatching Time quail cage system offers:
- Slanted floors for clean egg roll-out
- Feed grills to reduce waste
- Removable walls and stackable layers for easy expansion
- Rust-proof construction that’s easy to clean
- Jumbo quail flooring upgrades
This quail cage setup supports egg production, clean living, and easy maintenance. Waste drops into a plastic manure tray below, which is rinsed and reused as garden fertilizer making it eco-friendly and efficient.
The family also shares their breeding setup, separating quail by breed and sex into breeding groups. This ensures optimal fertility and easy flock management.
