Coturnix Quail

Coturnix quail are a fun alternative to raising poultry in an urban homestead.  These miniature game birds produce gourmet quail eggs and meat while taking up a small space, which makes them a great addition to a small farm or an urban homestead.

We started raising Coturnix quail just a few months ago and are learning a lot as we go. Coturnix Quail are a great alternative to raising chickens in an urban homestead environment and are a great addition for eggs and meat.
 
If you're interested in learning more about Urban Quail-Keeping, this book is a great read!
 
This species of quail are very efficient.  A hen can start laying at less than two months old and will produce about an egg a day.  Not only are these eggs beautiful, but they are almost identical in taste to chicken eggs.  They make great hors de oeuvres and are great boiled and sliced in half for salads.

Quail eggs make the cutest mini Deviled Eggs!
 
There is a big difference in size between quail eggs and standard chicken eggs. It takes about 3 Coturnix quail eggs to equal 1 chicken egg. We are raising them for their meat and eggs.
