Are quail roosters/hens loud?

[Ruby Rogue]

It's not loud at all. If I had never heard one in my life I wouldn't think anything of it.

I am debating on keeping a lot of male quails because I heard that they are loud. Is the true?

What do you mean specifically about keeping a lot of males?
How many cages are you planning on having?

I find that as long as the males cannot see each other in separate cages they don't complain as much as they would if they could see each other.

My male quail do not crow.
They cannot see each other either.

6 males is not really a lot.

If the quail boys aren't competing for girls they don't usually make noise. Once they start crowing, they're usually dispatched. I'm not sure why you're considering keeping a lot of males, but overall, I'd say that's a bad idea not just because of the noise, but because they won't be living satisfied lives together. They're pretty primitive animals and breeding is part of their innate drive.

I'm in a residential neighborhood, but parts of Hawaii are overrun with feral chickens so it's all part of the "living in paradise" deal. We're used to it, but quail aren't a noise problem. The quail crow is *maybe* a third the volume of a full-sized chicken.

What are you main purposes of having quail. For meat (fertilized eggs) you only need around 1 per 5 hens. If just for eggs, you don't need roosters. Or just one to fertilize the hens every once and awhile to get a new batch of layers. Or for pets, females are usually sweeter pets.
My point, being, you won't need many anyways.

Hmm, I would like to have them as pets, and for eggs, and sometimes have a new batch of quail.

Cool! Then really I think you only need like 1-2 every once and awhile to fertilize the hens when needed.
