Read MoreI 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!
Read LessJust getting into quail this course has been unbelievably helpful. I've learned so much and will continue to reference these classes. All the classes were well organized and good structure to help learning.

Read LessRecently 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.
