Hi, I’m Dale
Meet our brown Japanese Quail.
Japanese Quails feed mainly on grass seeds, but also eat small insects. Quail live on the ground: foraging, nesting and sleeping in the grass. They dust-bathe regularly to clean their feathers.
Basic facts about Quail -
- They are hardy and generally disease free.
- They are small - approximately five quail can be raised in the same space required for one chicken.
- Comparatively lower feed costs are associated with quail than with chickens or other poultry birds.
- They are fast growers, gaining maturity quicker than any other poultry birds.
- They will begin laying eggs by their sixth or seventh week of age and can lay over 300 eggs in their first year of life.
Adoption Price: $20
