My quails are early. I don't have the brooder ready yet.

Depends on how many boys, how much space they have and how rowdy they get. I've had boys start crowing at 4.5 weeks. It get worse the more there are, too much testosterone I think.

Crow! What?

My cage is only about 15 square feet. How many would you keep in that space?

15 birds total. You could try up to 3 males, but make sure that they have lots of enrichment and hiding spots.

15 tops personally. But having say 3 males to 12 females might get a bit rowdy in that space. Having enrichment and hiding places will help thin out any aggression.

Lol! It is pretty quiet, but it will help identify the
Males.

Took some pics while canceling tonight. Depending on where you put the light they can look like different eggs. Totally dark on one side and almost clear on the other. This is Day 19.
