Happy New Year and welcome to Year 3 of the Poultry Nerds Podcast! 🎉
We just crossed 50,000 downloads, and in this episode we’re celebrating by looking back at 2025, looking ahead to 2026, and breaking down why quail are becoming one of the smartest poultry choices today.

We officially announce Quail Mania 2, a free, two-day online quail education event packed with expert speakers, real-world knowledge, giveaways, and incubation insight — from first egg to freezer or business.

In this episode, we cover:

• What we learned from launching the first Quail Mania
• Why quail are easier, faster, and more efficient than chickens
• Real timelines: incubation, growth, laying, and harvest
• Feed-to-meat cost comparisons (real numbers)
• Why quail are perfect for small spaces and urban setups
• How quail fit modern homesteading and food planning
• What to expect from Quail Mania 2 in February

Whether you’re a chicken keeper curious about quail, a homesteader looking for efficient protein, or someone ready to scale quail production up or down — this episode gives you clarity and a plan.
