Quail and Rabbits

[Fox]

I've been watching a homestead family - Living Traditions Homestead - and I'll tell you they really teach you a lot of good information on growing your own food - they have a 9 part series on raising rabbits and also have a series on raising quail - they go into the details so that even if you don't have any experience you could start raising these food sources - the one on quail shows how to process and cook quail - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUbRPphQuWY - kinda wondering if I should start raising quail after watching their videos -

Quail are jerks, they will attack each other and try to get into their brains.

The best thing about quail though, they are hardy, I have not lost one to sickness in the years I have had them.

One good thing about having these small animals is that you can kill one whenever you want to have something to eat and not need to preserve any - when you butcher a large animal you end up needing to preserve the portion that you don't eat in a few days - so you need to can, freeze dry or freeze the left over meat - not so with a rabbit or chicken or other small animal - something to consider if things go south
