I am new to quail and just have a few qucik questions, and would really appreciate it for any info! I was just given 30 Coturnix quail (brown and A&M)! I am really excited but need to know a few things! I live in Florida if the climate has anything to do with their breeding! but answer whatever questions you have the answer for!! Thank you, Justin!
- People are telling me quail are hard to raise from babies to adult and hard to keep adults alive, is there any truth in that?
- I have 200 chicks also just given to me and I have had them before and keep the pen clean and fresh food and water and they are not hard, are quail the same way?
- Do they lay eggs year round with extended light in the pens?
- Are the eggs fertile all year?
- How do hatcheries get quail all year if the eggs are not fertile all year?
- ALSO a BIG ONE HERE!! Is there any way to sex the A&M quail by just looking at the bird 5 weeks old? I can sex the brown ones!
