Breeding Quails

How old do my Coturnix Quails have to be before there eggs are fertile??

If there are mature males, and the females are laying, they are probably fertile now.

Yeah but like when are the males mature? how old?

Sorry, i don't recall...it has been years since i raised them. Are the males calling, and are they the same age as the females?

8ish weeks. If you see them mounting the ladies or crowing, they are probably fertile. Also, it sounds a little gross, but you will see "foam" in the ladies poop if she is over filled.....if you catch my drift.
