Hello,
Been thinking hard about getting some Coturnix quail soon for egg production. Just wanted know if any of you could provide a ballpark of
on how many hens I should purchase. I have a local source that sells Jumbo Coturnix quail juveniles and wanted to start with young birds instead of incubating eggs. I have a wife and two small kids. I will probably be the only one at first that will be eating the eggs but hopefully that will change. I will most likely be building a 2x3 pen(unless you guys suggest otherwise) that will sit on a work bench in my heated garage over the winter and then probably move them outside in spring. Just wanted to hear others opinions on how many to get so I don’t buy too few to not make it worth it. In the spring I would most likely construct a larger pen for outdoors. Thanks for the help!
