Urban Quail-Keeping Paperback – May 26, 2014

Of the 4 or 5 quail raising books we've purchased from amazon or borrowed from library or friends this has presented the best balance of information. Basically everything a hobbiest needs to know from producung eggs from chicks, to how to humanely house and harvest full grown birds, to tips on bird selection for breeding and recipes for cooking. The quality of the content and writing is excellent with a liberal use of photographs to help demonstrate the insights and recommendations the author is imparting.Refreshingly the author provides numerous examples of low cost solutions to everyday challenges you face when raising these fabulous birds. Her knowledge and experience as a quail homesteader comes through loud and clear throughout the book. If you are considering raising quail in an urban environment as pets or for meat and eggs this book would be a great option.

Checked thoroughly for a good quail book as I watch videos also. This is great! So much helpful information as I've been pretty new with raising quail. And the new babies are 6 days old. :)

This book does have useful information concerning quails. How to hatch them, Raise them, and Cull them for poultry.

This is a very helpful guide for beginners and definitely one for the homestead reference library. I feel very confident about beginning with a covey now that I've read this through a few times. I will remove one star for American readers because this is written by a British author. A lot of the information about local regulations etc will not be relevant to readers across the pond. That's less a judgement on the book and more wishful thinking that such a guide existed from an American writer.

This book was so easy to read and full to the brim of practical advice. The author covers every aspect of quail keeping and goes into great detail while doing it. I'd definitely recommend for anyone who is considering quail.I will be using this book as a reference for a long time to come.

This book is about a 4 hour read, it is a plethora of information, especially if you are a beginner like me. My husband and I are considering getting quail this spring and just weren't quite sure where to start. After reading this book, I am confident we can set up an enclosure for them, feed, grow, cull, and brood more quail when we are ready to do so. It gives you everything you need from start to finish, and even troubleshooting in between. This will stay on the bookshelf as a reference when we get our quail. Great book!

It's simply written, decent information. Maybe not the most scientific tome, but it will help you raise quail.

Very nice book! Well written with nice colored photos. Everything I needed to know to set up my quail housing, food, care, health and problem solving, how to set up my incubator and brooder & chick care. Chapters for keeping quail for meat, culling & an 18 page cook book chapter.Read it cover to cover.
