As many of you now know, we raise Coturnix (Japanese) Quail.
They are great for eggs or for eating. The eggs are highly nutritious and just pretty to look at.
Another great thing is that they mature at 6 WEEKS of age and start laying fertile eggs then. Amazing, huh?
Finally, the way to tell the male from the female is really easy.
If you have never heard a quail make sounds before, be sure to click on the above video. Very unique and interesting!

I am not familiar with quail or their eggs. You are correct that their eggs are beautiful. Does one bird feed one adult when dressed?
ReplyDeleteIt takes two adult birds to fill up an adult person. If you had a salad and some side items, you could get by with just one. I appreciate your comments.
