Quail

Post by lewi111 »

Hi just wondering if anyone knows something about breeding Quail. I have a pair of Quail in my young Ringies aviary an the last 2 days they have laid an egg.If anyone could advise me on their nesting needs---if they are ok where they are----should I move them on their own----anything really would be appreciated.
Didnt get them to breed actually----just to help clean the aviary----but if they wanna have bubbies----well an good. :)

I am not sure about quails either, but one breeder here has them under his suspendeds. He has planted grasses and scattered a few rocks and small logs around and from memory, the quails just lay on the ground and incubate them there. His quails seem to breed fine like that.

Here is a couple of sites that might help.

Quail 1

Quail 2
