Question abput Quail

[Morgaine]

There is an add on CL for Quail eggs and it says that they start laying at 6-8 weeks old. Is that true? It says they are Jumbo Cortnix quail.

Yep its true. But there also like chickens some begin laying sooner than others.
We've had some start laying at 6 weeks and other that still aren't laying at 10 weeks.

They start crowing/calling at 8 weeks. My guy here is a big mouth but SO CUTE.
He's not laying eggs yet but we are hoping he starts any day.
