Need advice

[FarmerGilland]

I'm hoping to get some quail this weekend, but I don't know what kind would be best for meat and egg laying? Can someone help? How much trouble are they? I just need some general info. Can someone help?

The most common and reliable quail for meat AND eggs are jumbo coturnix quail. They mature around 8-10 weeks and lay eggs year-round with artificial lighting. They are larger and provide more meat. Currently I have a smaller coturnix called tibetan and they are not any trouble you just have to make sure they can't fly away or escape. Overall, coturnix quails are just perfect for eggs, and if you want meat then jumbo coturnix quail will do great!
