RE: New Baby Quails At Brimwood
I do find quail fertility is quite a bit lower than chickens. In chickens I'd be disappointed with anything below 60% hatch rate. Quails I'm happy with 50%.

Agreed. It would be interesting to have a quail breeding program to focused on fertility. I wonder if it's even possible for cortunix at this point.
What kind of male to female ratio do you have? I am surprised at the low fertility!
