This is how the Seal’s coax their birds into those jumbo sizes 🤣

📸 Caught in the Quail Pen Chronicles 🐦💥

Shane Seal said he was just going in to “check on them real quick”…
45 minutes later he’s giving life advice to a group of Italian and pansy like he's Dr. Doolittle. 🤣

At this point I'm not sure who he loves more....Me or the Quail!!!

They chirp, he moves. 🫡

💫 Education post!✨

Coturnix Quail cannot perch, for them it is physically impossible. They are a ground dwelling bird and they lack the tendon, muscle structure, & foot strength that allows them to grip. Therefore they will not use perches.

Some other quail species can perch well. Like bobwhites and they do enjoy that option. They do have the tendons, muscle strength in the foot that allows a grip. They are built differently.

So perches for Coturnix is a No. bobwhites and chickens Yes.

Hey Utah People (PLEASE READ)

For those who keep asking me to take in the “wild California quail babies you found without parents or rescued from your cats, dogs or whatever” I JUST got off the phone with the Utah Division of Wildlife and guess what? THIS IS EXTREMELY ILLEGAL and NO I cannot take them in and you should not be doing so either.

If you contact any Utah wildlife division they will tell you to put them back or in rare cases tell you to contact a rescue in Salt Lake City.

Buuuuuut when I inquired about taking the birds to SLC bird rehabs they said that even then the bird rescues usually don’t take in babies because they often die and the wildlife rescues use their resources on other bird types.

Also if you are caught with these native species without a permit you WILL be fined. Like I said, I spoke with the Utah Division of Wildlife this morning and I’m relaying the information they gave me. Don’t believe me? Call them yourself . But relaying the information is the best I can do for you. I’m trying to be matter of fact and not rude but you also have to understand I get multiple calls a week, every year for about 6 months for the last 5yrs and I’m growing tired of people not knowing this information.

Hi! My name is Kelli and my family and I focus on teaching City Limit Self-Sufficiency! Our business is called Feathered Knechtions (pronounced connections). During 2020, we decided not to wait until we got our dream property to get more serious about where our food comes from and learning homestead...

For those of you asking here’s a brief tour of our quail shed. We will not be doing physical tours this year for anyone and if you ask you’ll be sent to our YouTube channel and sent this post for picture reference.

Due to our family circumstances this year and serious health diagnosis for my husband that we don’t share openly we just can’t accommodate anything other than the farmers market and sharing info on our social media .

Hope the info we do shares shows you all that anything is possible in the city to help you be more city limit self sufficient. Please go follow our YouTube channel so we can continue to grow and support our family’s mission to educate others.
