Quail project.
For a while, I have been researching into keeping quail. while the chicken has proven to be fantastic in the garden there are downsides and for many of my listener's chickens are not an option.
This is where the quail may be a viable option, however, I have never kept these birds before so, in this episode, I have shared what I know about these creatures and how I have started to keep these fantastic birds. The veg grower podcast is all about growing food in a garden and quail are just another option that can be taken. So join me on this journey as we learn how to look after these birds and use them to produce food.
