Can a coturnix (or other quail) ever be tame?

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

Do Coturnix quail lay very good?

My nine hens give me nine eggs per day adn so far havnt been put off by the heat.

So yeh, they lay good

Go for it! I waited 30 YEARS to get some which, seeing how fun they are, was a bit silly

I'll probably order some hatching eggs and just hatch'em out. How long to incubate and what should the temp be? I have a home-made incubator and I dunno how to change the temp. It stays at 100 - 101 steady. It works for chicken eggs and button eggs. Dunno about coturnix, though?

I have 6 Jumbo Brown Coturnix hens that are 7 weeks old. I've gotten 27 eggs so far, & they just started laying 9 days ago. Yes, they're GOOD layers. Incubation time is 17 days, 99.5 to 100.5 degrees.
