    Ooohhh, sorry to hear that! Doesn't it make sense that "once broody," the odds are much better...

    Ooohhh, sorry to hear that! Doesn't it make sense that "once broody," the odds are much better that she'd go broody again? I kind of need to get out of the chicken and quail business for a couple of years but i really hate to get rid of such a special bird, and her mates, and her offspring...

    How Many Eggs do California Quail Lay a Year

    Hello Sherri, Are you talking about California Quail 'hatching their own eggs?' I have had Bobwhite Quail for 3-4 years and have never had any success getting them to set on their own eggs (although i have hatched some under a game hen).
