Do I need to age the quail meat before eating?

Hi, I know that chicken is best aged for a few days in the fridge before eating. Do I need to age quail too? Thank you!

You don't ahve to, just let them get past the rigormortis stage, then they are good to go.

They are better letting them age overnight in the frig.. after that i like to put them into a smoker for about two hours then bake them..holly smokes is it good..

Icomes about shortly after the kill, depending on the temperature, and lasts a while, then it is gone and you can eat. Of course the meat willl be better if aged a bit, but really, quail are delicious any way.

We were a lot happier with our quail that sat overnight.
Last batch had cranberries, spinach and feta cheese with some fresh spices stuffed into them...... I can hardly wit to have more!!!!!
