Coturnix quail, also known as Japanese quail, are small game birds native to East Asia. They’re popular for their small size, easy care, and fast growth. They’re often raised for meat and eggs, and they come in various colors, including white, brown, and speckled. They reach maturity quickly, usually around 6-8 weeks, and can start laying eggs at around 6-10 weeks of age. They’re adaptable to various environments and are relatively easy to raise, making them a popular choice for backyard poultry enthusiasts.
