to maximise egg production, corurnix need 14 hours of light per day.That's some pretty money! A local Mexican restaurant has a glass counter at the register that they have taped a lot of money from other countries to the underside of the glass, I love looking at it and seeing the different designs and pictures on it.
Oh, I'm currently researching raising coturnix quail for eggs, for some reason we have a large Asian population but no one raises quail for eggs... strange... anything odd about them I should know? I know you have some out there.
they mature very fast. 1 male - 2 females. they are easy to sex once they reach sexual maturity - they guys have foam on their vent.
for egg production just keep a few males and females together for breeding replacements, otherwise maximize feed conversion by stocking just males.
you cant buy "quail layer mash" so seek out an 18-20% protein feed and supply free choice calcium
