Breed Details:
The birds as chicks need a 26% or higher non-medicated Game Bird Starter(GBS). They need a drown proof waterer and feed. As adults they weight between 8 and 14 ounces. There are Jumbo varieties and regular which weighs less. They will lay all year round if given 14 hours of light a day. LED Christmas lights work great for this. They mature in 6-10 weeks, and will lay very often unlike the clutches laid by bobwhites. While they are not good for dog training they are much more efficient for meat and egg purposes. They hatch in 16-18 days and need 45% humidity for the first 14-15 days and then 60%+ for lockdown. These are great for a beginner wanting to raise game birds as they are less aggressive. All colors of coturnix are the same. They may look different, but they lay the same and taste the same. They are great for cleaning up the bottom of an aviary and they make great pets.
