In-Depth Information
Quail, like most birds, love and need to take regular dust baths.

Coturnix quail need a high-protein feed to develop and maintain their natural rapid
growth rate. You'll be amazed at how they almost double in size on a daily basis after
hatching.
Life Cycle
These birds are very quick to mature. My eighth-grade science students study a complete
quail life cycle in one nine-week term. The eggs take between 16 and 17 days to hatch
and the hatchlings reach maturity about 35 to 38 days later, when the young females
begin laying eggs. Rapid reproduction and the ability to exist in a variety of conditions
make them easily adaptable to many situations.
