Why it's worth keeping quail:
In recent years, quail has become one of the most popular birds in hobby keeping and professional breeding. The reasons for this are obvious: Quails - in contrast to chickens, for example - have relatively manageable requirements in terms of space, feed and their general housing conditions. In addition, they have an extremely friendly, rather reserved nature, which makes dealing with them particularly uncomplicated and pleasant. Due to their fine character and the quite fulfilling demands on owner and keeper, the little ones are excellently suited for beginners and newcomers in the field of breeding and keeping.
This guide provides all the information you need to get started with quail keeping or breeding. Here you will learn everything you need to know to make sure that keeping, caring and living together works out in the long run.
The following topics are covered:
the different quail breeds and their typical characteristics,
the nature and character of quails,
size, age and laying performance,
the correct and species-appropriate housing: different forms of enclosures and their advantages and disadvantages,
what equipment you need for the enclosure,
how and when to clean and muck out,
which food is the best and which foods are not suitable,
how to get your quails through the winter,
what diseases there are, and what to do if your quails get sick,
the right way to deal with vacations and longer absences,
quail breeding: how natural brood and artificial brood work,
how chicks are fed and raised,
legal framework for keeping and slaughtering,
and much more!

1. Overview of quail breeds
Before you can start with the right keeping and care, some general things about the quail should first be clarified. The scientific name of the quail is Coturnix coturnix, it belongs to the pheasant family and the Galliformes order. In general, it can be said about size and weight that adult animals weigh about 100 grams and are about 20 centimeters tall.
However, this is only a guideline: Since there are over 100 different species of quail, quail keepers should be prepared for the sometimes serious differences between the individual species. For example, it can happen that a quail weighs a proud 300 or even 500 grams instead of the stated 100 grams.
A sensible first classification of the quail species can be made into the groups ornamental quail, laying quail, dwarf quail and wild quail. The ornamental quails are originally wild quails that were domesticated over long periods of time and eventually kept as ornamental birds. Ornamental quail form the largest group among the four mentioned above.
The most popular and common ornamental quail is the California Crested
