1) Ok he said it. It's on the other site.

Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are used in medical research due to their rapid reproduction, short lifespan, and physiological similarities to humans.

It's a study on human systems by proxy.

Timeline cleanse: here's a 2-day old quail chick for you.

Scale is hard to judge, in this kind of picture, but the little guy's slightly smaller than a hen's egg. They grow so fast! At hatching they're about the size of a medium grape.

Fun Fact Friday! Coturnix quail eggs have a higher yolk-to-white ratio and are more nutrient dense than chicken eggs. They mature extremely fast and can start laying eggs in as little as 6-8 weeks laying up to 300 eggs per year, with some hens laying once or even twice daily.

My Coturnix quail started laying at 6 weeks and haven’t stopped since! 🥚 They’ll produce for about a year before slowing down. With good feed and light, you’ll enjoy a steady supply of tiny, golden eggs. 🐥

Coturnix quail have my heart—they grow fast, lay plenty, and take little space. 🥚🪶 For meat or eggs, they’re the perfect starter bird for small homesteads or backyard farms!

I would also like to crossbreed Standard-size White Guineacocks with Jumbo Pearl Gray Guineahens as well as Standard-size White Texas A&M Coturnix Quail cocks with Jumbo Coturnix Quail hens! Of course, I'm gonna need a bigger coop as well as a separate waterfowl 🦆 coop! (10/07/19)

Hawk: *stands in the doorway with the baby monitor clipped to his belt and watches her stick her hand in to pet them as she tries to work out what they are* Nooooot ducks... Not even chickens... *waits till she looks at him* They're Coturnix quail babies. Happy belated birthday, little sun. *smiles*

Hawk: Sure. Is this thing blowup? *chuckles as they pull into the driveway and he cuts the engine*

*in the garage is the metal stock tank they used to keep the baby chicks in till they were old enough for the barn. There's 6 tiny Coturnix quail chicks with the heat lamp on them

I had button quail some years ago. Ridiculous creatures. I do miss their calls. Coturnix quail are pretty annoying, in comparison.
