Lol really that's a breed thought it was just the name of the chick lol

 

[JRNash]

Its a quail that is native across much of the US

Being from the USA I did not know that.. what are the pros of raising quails

 

[JRNash]

Well,if your raising Coturnix (production Japanese quai)
They have a smaller footprint,they require less room. They go from hatch to laying eggs in 8weeks. They have excellent feed to weight ratio. They lay nearly every day. The eggs are healthier than chicken eggs. And they are CUTE!!
BOBWHITES take 6 months to hit breeding age,and they are seasonal layers.
