I am in my 2nd year of quail. I find myself questioning whether to harvest the first generation or the 2nd.
I made two breeder pens last fall. A rare breed mix and Jumbo browns. They are a year+ old.
Should I harvest them? I worry that they will become less productive and I will miss my window.
Or rotate in the new young ones and let them be next years breeders.
I dont want to harvest the older ones and they be too tough or fatty if others have kept them as breeders for several years
