Thoughts of insecurity may transpire, with simple things like, what will they think? Will they leave negative reviews? Or worse, “Will someone grab my content and use it as their own?”
These are things I once felt whenever I clicked publish. It didn’t matter if I was writing a blog post, freelance article for a magazine or writing a book.
How did I overcome it? I had to grow up and simply trust myself to do good.
To do the best job possible because the reality is you can’t change the minds of people. Their actions are quite often a reflection of who they choose to be.
There is a chapter in this new book, Ground Raised Quail, “Quail Opportunities.” This section encourages the reader how they could expand their journey and make additional income if desired.
One of these examples included doing workshops, where I encourage folks to use the projects in my book to help them teach the class.
When I wrote those words, my first thoughts were, “wow, I have grown.” That felt good, but believe me when I say, “I have a lot more growing up to do.”
Ground Raised Quail Dive In
When you grow there is this is also this desire to share what you have gained. So let’s dive into what this book is really about, it’s my
entire journey raising quail on the ground.
How I got started, what I uncovered along the way and how you can do the
same.
I cover many topics; I could list them all, but you can go to Amazon and read over the table contents.
Simply click “look inside” the information is grand; it’s probably why it took me so long to publish because I didn’t want to miss anything.
Why Raise Quail at all?
So why would anyone want to raise quail and why in the world on the ground? Heck, what does that even mean, raising quail on the ground?First and foremost, this book was written specifically for people seeking self-reliance where they live. That could be on a small homestead, a farm and in your backyard.
These birds might be small, but they are amazing. They also have a very short life span of 4 years. I always raised quail for the purpose of eggs and meat. I cover how to process for meat and what egg production looks like for coturnix and native quail breeds.
I didn’t skip a beat because there’s more to it than just buying some quail, sticking them into a brooder and hoping you will just figure it out.
Why I Chose the Ground
Raising quail on the ground was a natural progression and truly a no brainer when we lived on our family farm. I researched a lot in the beginning and found breeders were housing quail in wire cages.I couldn’t believe it and my first thought was, “I wouldn’t want to live on wire.”
God created these amazing birds specifically to live on the ground and the idea of placing them in cages where their feet couldn’t touch the soil wasn’t going to work on our land.
We did everything on our small farm as natural as possible, and I took that same approach while raising quail. I studied these birds for hours, which led to days, months and years of personal research.
So "Ground Raised Quail" isn’t just a book to help you learn how to raise quail for eggs and meat. I share my story because sometimes it’s the simplest things we do that bring us the greatest joy.
Encouraging goodness,
