Soooooo it is actually possible to train quail I already know that but I was just wondering at age do you start training them to not poop everywhere and only poop in certain spots around the house in containers or in there box just wondering

From having a parrot and previously speaking with other owners and on forums, the general consensus was that parrots could be potty trained to favor going in certain places, and on command, however if startled for any reason they will evacuate their bowels wherever they are. I know from having quail that anything at all startles them, and I never see it coming, dog jumps near pen no response, 3 secs later a leaf moves in the breeze and 8 quail are panicking lol. Yesterday I sneezed and one laid an egg and pooped.

if you want to try, I would say start right away, as early as possible, just reward when they potty and say the command you want.
