I was wondering how loud these quail are as stated in the title. My friend lives in the city, and in her area is not allowed to keep chickens. She is a big gardener, but recently, wants to keep quail for eggs as an alternative to chickens. I wanted to surprise her with some Tenn Red Quail. (I am currently checking into city restrictions against quail, I have not found any so far). I found a site that ships juvenile quails. I wanted to get her six, one male and five females if the males are pretty quiet with their crowing. I figured she could use the male for fertile eggs in-case some of the females die. The reason I wanted to get Tenn Reds is because of their large size for a quail, so maybe she could get a little bit bigger egg. The coop is plenty big for six, especially when she adds on the nest box area. If the males are loud, but females are pretty quiet, I will just get her six females. I am aware of the Tenn Reds aggressiveness towards other quail, but I don't think she would be getting others because of the city.

Thanks!
 
I also think the coturnix lay more eggs than bobwhites? And as far as I know bobwhites are usually kept one male to 1-2 females - not sure why, but possibly because they are aggressive if more are kept together. So I agree with Shango - coturnix are more likely to work out and more newbiefriendly than bobwhites.
 
BTW how loud are Courtnix Quail male? I have heard that they are very loud, but I have also heard they are quiet. Sorry I keep asking stuff, I raise Chickens, not Quail. I know pretty much nothing about quail
