Hello everyone! i have been reading on this site as a Guest for the past few weeks and now i think its time i become a member. well i dont know how you will feel about WHY i got some Quail eggs...But...Here we go..
Its for my snakes
Whoa, glad i got that out of the way. Anyway. After doing some long hard Research....that took all of 10 minutes i ordered some eggs, Button quail eggs, since i read some place they Hatched faster then many others. thinking...."COTURNIX" Was the very same bird. just another Name for it. since the Easy Info i could get on here was about them..so i thought "Oh same thing" well its about 4 days now till they hatch and i have been reading more and more about them. thinking "Hey i could raise some and see what they Taste like since many people say they are awesome" then i realized tonight...button and Coturnix are to Different quails...Much smaller..And seem to be a bit harder to sex? since i cant find any good info on it like the Coturnix.
Anyway. so here are a few Questions
1) What Breed or kind of Quail is more Quiet...or are they all the same..Have you guys had any Neighbors complain of the noise? i live in a aparment. and i dont want to get anyone mad at 3am because my Birds will not shut up. lol
2) i Understand buttons are much smaller.....are they worth it to even raise for Meat. or should i try again with Coturnix
3)am trying to read as much as i can about the birds. and i think am hooked. so one way or another am going to get this right!
Any helpful tips?
