Coturnix Quail are great backyard birds! Since they are considered domestic quail, they do not require any permits to own. With their small body size, they can easily be set up in a pen on your deck, in your garage, or the backyard.

Females are fantastic egg layers that lay as many eggs as a productive chicken as early as 6-8 weeks of age. Males are great for meat production or breeding. They are ready to process at 8 weeks of age.

Quail eggs are known for being healthy and packed with flavor. All you need is a serrated knife or quail scissors to open them.
