1) Why did you get quail? Is it for the eggs, meat, pets or other?

I love to hear the Bob's call! And I love to eat them

2) What do you feed quail? Make your own feed or can I buy feed suitable for quail?

Purina 30% Game bird starter

3) How many square feet per bird in their cages? - I know some are "jumbo" does this change requirements?

.75 SQ for me

4) And lastly, do you recommend doing jumbo quail or regular sized? I think I'm going to be doing coturnix quail.

Jumbo Bobs if I'm going to eat them. had a few of each last night and the Coturnix doesn't compare to the bobs. I guess sometimes you have to wait longer for the best things in life
