Hi everyone, I posted a couple weeks ago about some eggs I had bought at a farmer's market. Well, the eggs have hatched. Does anyone know for sure what these babies are?
Quail hatched...what are they?

They look like they are probably Coturnix.
Kherome is 100% correct

Thank you! I hatched 11. Do people eat these quail?
Nope they aren't edible at all which is why when they reach 8 weeks of age you should bring them to my house.....

Very funny dc. 
Yes, you certainly can eat them, and they are also kept for egg production.

Thanks. I decided to just try to sell them for $1. each....put them on Craigslist...still no takers. Do they taste good?
If properly cooked the taste lands somewhere between great and fantastic.
Dc is spot on haha! Just look up information on Pharaoh Coturnix and include facts in your post.....Might help them sell faster.....But they are very fun to raise, and pay their keep for sure. in eggs and meat

Keep em! We just started a couple months ago and they are a lot of fun. Eggs are awesome and they themselves taste great. They grow amazingly fast too. As said earlier about 8 weeks to eating or eggs.
