Button or Coturnix quail?

[Crumpet2020]

I’m thinking about getting quail and I’m stuck between these two breeds, which is better?

That would depend on what you’re looking for in a quail.

What are you looking for? Eggs and meat? Coturnx. Pretty pets that you don't handle much? Buttons. Hardy in cold? Coturnix.

These two are actually species and not breeds. What do you want them for?

Depends if u want them indoors or outdoors

I want them to be pets, I plan on handling them occasionally, I will keep them indoors, and I would like eggs.

Button eggs aren't really big enough to eat. Coturnix egg on the left, button egg on the right.
