    We have 2 3yo (maybe 4) hens left from a flock of 25 bought from McMurty's. These are the only 2 left, both black astrolorps.

    Quail for eggs only?

    I'd like to raise quail for eggs but not necessarily for meat. We will probably harvest some but not all. How long do quail lay? How long do they live? Is this a crazy idea? We raise layers currently and have raised and processed meat birds several times. Thank you!
