I love this course, it taught me so many things. I started raising quail before taking this course and I kept killing my quail. I didn't really understand lockdown. I would open my incubator trying to help the quail. I didn't realize that quail get cold fast when they get too far away from the heater in the brooder. Since taking this course, I have a better hatch rate, my quail are thriving ,and I am much better quail mom. And I am very happy!

Informative!

Hadley White

Recently started getting into self sufficiency and now learning about quail! Even just the first chapter has been so informative so far and so easy being a one-stop-shop instead of trying to think of all the questions to independently look up.

This course is well done and fun to watch even after having raised quail for several years. The kids watch with me usually and ask for more each time lol.
