🐣 Quail Fact of the Day: Tiny Eggs, BIG Power
Did you know quail eggs pack more nutrients by weight than chicken eggs? 👀

✨ Higher in iron & vitamin B12
✨ Rich in antioxidants
✨ Naturally smaller portions = easier digestion for some

And here’s something the real quail lovers know…
Quail eggs have a higher yolk-to-white ratio, which means richer flavor and a creamier texture

That’s why they’re a favorite in gourmet dishes AND among people looking for nutrient-dense foods.

Whether you’re raising quail, eating them, or just fascinated by these little birds—there’s always something new to learn in the quail world 🐥

Drop a 🥚 if you’ve ever tried quail eggs!

Sooo close, they can almost taste it.

Cracked shells at their feet, and the essentials for growth on the other side.

Eager for that first bite… eager for growth… eager for the next stage of life.

What we eat—what we consume—matters.
For them, and for us.
Let’s ensure everything we’re taking in is fueling our growth.

Composting doesn’t always have to be slow.

This is 22 days of composting progress with turning once a week.

A simple mix of:
• quail manure
• fine pine sawdust
• grass clippings

This isn’t finished compost or ready to be used in agriculture yet.

But it is proof that waste can be turned into a resource faster than most people think.

Compost doesn’t have to solve all your waste challenges to be useful — it’s just another tool you can leverage based on your needs and setup.

No life without it.

Testing.

We’re always testing—new ideas, new methods, and new ways to improve. Whether it’s dialing in fertility and hatch rates, trying out products and equipment, or refining our overall process, constant improvement is the goal.

Today, we’re testing mesh bags for hatching. This method is incredibly useful when you need to separate different hatches but don’t have much space to work with. So far, we’re loving how simple and effective it is.

At the end of the day, everything has its pros and cons. Results can vary depending on your setup, goals, and environment. Don’t discredit methods that are different or unfamiliar—just add them to your toolkit. Every new technique is another resource on your journey to becoming a well-rounded, well-informed quail enthusiast.

Whatever your why.... chase that happy feeling quail brings. Well said Southern Biophilliac Urban Farm

How could you not "Fawn" in love with these birds? 😉

This machurian (fawn) bird is post molt and just showing off the new feathers.

Does the EB gene mean Extended Brown or Eye Brows? 😂

While it's not uncommon for Tibetan birds to display a few white markings on their faces, this roosters' perfectly symmetrical brow lines caught our eye. 👀

Even though we usually prefer our EB birds without white markings, We love them all .
