Hi everyone! I’ve been stalking this forum for a while during my research about Coturnix quail and found so much good information. Thanks again for sharing!

Hi! Welcome to Back Yard Chickens, and quails too! Have you actually started your flock?

 

[ARB1007]

Hi ValerieJ! I did! They’re only about 4 weeks old at the moment. It’s been pretty interesting to say the least but FUN! I’m thinking I have mostly roosters since those are mostly crowing. I have 3 feather sexable hens for now. In total, I have 31.

Are you keeping them for eggs, or for meat or both?

Thanks everyone! I figured since most of what I read was typically a 1:1 ratio of M:F, it couldn’t hurt to hatch a large clutch at one time, pick out the colors/M/F I want and eat the rest lol. The plan was for both. Hopefully, I am successful lol!

I'm sure you will be. Like the rest of us, you'll learn quickly as you go along, and you'll come to BYC with questions when you can't figure something out.

I am definitely learning a lot in a short amount of time! I will most certainly do some more thread stalking for sure! Thank you!
