Button Quail Therapy
We've been quietly sitting on a new project and today I got to enjoy a small taste of the fruit. Buttons are so tiny, so fast and so adorable. Check this out: https://youtube.com/shorts/MjcfxOBSPS8?si=SfpchGFBUn7TPgxJ?views

Welcome to Leanstead's Quail Community You’re in the right place if you’re raising (or thinking about raising) coturnix, celadon, button quail, or other small birds and you want practical conversations without the snark. This is a space to: - Ask questions — even the ones that feel basic - Share wins (first hatch, first blue eggs, a setup that finally works) - Talk through challenges or hesitations - Get input from people who are figuring this out at a similar scale No land required. No perfect setup required. Just real talk about small-space birds, hatching, housing, and making it work. To get started, introduce yourself and tell us: Where are you right now with quail — just researching, hatching your first batch, refining a small setup, or somewhere in between? And what’s one thing you’re still unsure about? Drop it below. We’re glad you’re here.

I'll start for us. Michael and I have been homesteading since 2020 and originally started out by diving into laying hens, meat chickens and PIGS. Twenty-five year old me would never have believed that! Over the past few years, though, we started to look for ways to make our homesteading journey a little less physically taxing so that we can continue raising meat as we age. We had been considering quail lightly, but started to dig deeper and discovered we were missing out. Our homestead has now shifted to focus almost exclusively on Coturnix quail. We are now selling quail at a local market and love having the opportunity to help others start and grow in their own quail journey. We wanted to build a community to encourage, educate and to continue learning ourselves. Enter Skool. It's a safe space to talk openly and honestly. No more speaking in code to avoid getting banned, or having to hide some of the hard stuff we deal with when it comes to raising animals. We hope you'll find this community helpful and encouraging!
Do you struggle with the idea of processing your own quail or other farm animals?
I've just posted a video on youtube sharing the mindset that helps me feel less stressed about processing an animal. https://youtu.be/AkogZkASyg8

Happy Saturday!
It is market day for Michael and we have these little beauties joining us along with our jumbo red pansy coturnix. I never knew guineas could be so cute!
