I have been searching everywhere, but I can't find an answer which everyone agrees on. Some say 2 years others say 7. I'm talking about Coturnix in captivity by the way, lol. Thank you for any answers

Extra roos are culled and cooked as soon as they are of size

if you are letting them get light naturally and let them cool off between laying season I've heard 3-7 years.
 
I too have heard 3-5 years, but as Boyd said, if you keep a light on them (essentially forcing them to lay during the winter) this decreases their life expectancy a lot.
 
Always Heard Upwards Of 7. I Have An Old Maid Here--- Just Turned 6 Last Month Shes Doing Just Fine, And Our Are Kept Under Lights.... Which Btw, Doesnt Cut There Life Span Any, Just Burns Them Out On Laying---- You're Only Born With So Many Eggs.....

I Dont Think She's Laid More Than 3-5 Eggs This Year= Total... But She's A Sweet Old Gal So We Leave Her Be. And Every Once In A While She Surprises Us With An Occaisional Egg. -- They're Still Fertile Too!
