My quails are 1yr old now,can they produce fertile eggs?

My curtunix quail are one year old this august,and they are still laying eggs,can they produce fertile eggs for hatching

 

[Whitehouse Quail]

Contrary to popular belief, yes they can. I have hens older than a year that still lay fertile eggs, and all sources say that they can.

Hope this helps!

Yes, as long if there's a roo with them you should be good to go.

i know someone who has a roo that's 8 years old.
hens don't live as long due to all the stress to their bodies from egg laying

Platypus is 3 in a few more weeks, his hens have passed around 2 years (prolapse, heat stroke and egg bound), we keep giving him new harems.

I have a 3year old roo and 2 3 year old hens. Other than Romeo's favorite (keiko) having a few bald spots everyone is fine.
