I realize I have basically not really promo’d this end-of-year project at all outside of Twitter, but I’m Kickstarting a manual to help others achieve what I did this year, which is: raising a quail army.
I really love keeping quails and harvesting eggs daily, and it’s a LOT more cost-efficient and easy to do than you’d think. Quail can be kept in places where chickens might not be allowed, and are just really cute :’}
The book is 80 illustrated pages of information about raising the domesticated Japanese Coturnix Quail (Coturnix japonica) for pleasure and as a low-maintenance food source. It’s silly and easy to read and IDK. I had a major death in my life last November and was in a really bad place until spring of this year, when I began my quail journey. Relearning to build, hatch, grow, and care for something really got me back on track after all the pain. Keeping quail really helped me relearn how to appreciate life, and I wanted to share that feeling!
The project is fully funded, but I’m trying to push for a stretch goal to add a bonus sticker sheet to all the physical book orders, so I figure I’d sneak back here to help achieve that.
The book SHOULD also be shipping out several weeks before the 2021 holidays, so that’s another nice thing. There might be some delays just due to USPS being hamstrung by its own leadership but, doing my best to get these into hands in December. Feels good to be making stuff again finally.
Sorry for RTing this huge post again, but wanted to say thanks for looking and supporting QUAIL PARTY! Due to interest, I was able to justify an minimum order of stickers, so every physical book order regardless of tier now gets a complimentary quail sticker sheet to go with it~
one more photo for the road (a pic of one of my quails, about 1 day after hatching) (if you like hatching quails btw, take a look in the backer-only updates on the project for some fun stuff)
