Quail Class

Heres on mine male xx

For any prospective quail owner, something that surprised me about them when I first started keeping them is how bloody violent Coturnix get! Cull quickly and decisively, it’ll be easier than you think. Otherwise they’re really rather simple birds to keep, especially if you get them hand tame as chicks you might end up with some super friendly cute gems. Bugs do help speed up socializing them, there are few Coturnix that will pass up a mealworm or a cricket even if it means they have to eat it out of your big scary hands!

They don’t really bond with you like more familiar pet birds do, but you can’t beat them in terms of productivity and if you do luck out with a friendly Cot they are the perfect size to hold in a hand (and are very soft and fluffy)!

Definately agree courtaix quail can be fine one min then turn the next.... can end up being a blood bath very fast xxx

Oh ?! Well that's nice !

Yup! Mine is about 4 feet tall, and they only either fly out when they are grump, or spooked. or... when they want to hide in the grass.

Well, you dont have to order off amazon. Just sayin’
It’s helpful to have your general lcation in your profile. Do you have a local feed store or equivalent? I see online shopping as almost a last resort.
Having said, everybody around me was completely sold out as were the smaller places that sell online, within my budget anyway.
So I bought my Janoel off Amazon

Edit
I do like it but dont have anything to compare it to. I do wish i couldve been able to have a top view. It would have been easier to watch the hatching.
