Hi there, I was wondering how long a Bobwhite quail lives for, I have one male and one female, 15 months old, and she just laid her very first egg, yes I know! she should have started laying over a year ago, LOL but what can I say. She just didn't. Anyway now that she has started laying how long will she live for , and do you think she can hatch out her own eggs? One more ? if ya don't mind, Do Bobwhites go broody like chickens or do they just naturally sit on the eggs and hatch them out after they get a big enough clutch to be worth her while? Thanks in Advance for the answers. Sandy
