Coturnix quail are a fully domesticated quail species bred specifically for egg and meat production. Unlike wild quail species, they thrive in captivity and are well-suited to structured enclosures or cages.
They typically lay 250–300 speckled eggs per year, often one per day under good conditions. Their calm nature and resilience make them ideal for first-time poultry keepers as well as experienced breeders looking for reliable productivity.
Coturnix quail come in a variety of colour patterns, including pharaoh, Italian, and tuxedo, adding visual interest alongside their excellent laying ability.
