Hello, fellow quail lover! Welcome to s/Quail.
I hatched out hundreds in 2020. I wish I had kept better track of numbers. We have wild bob whites here, and a large female might be 6-8oz. Some of my coturnix push a pound. I posted a pic yesterday with breasts on the left and leg/thighs on the right. You'll immediately notice the difference in leg meat between the wild and domestic.
I hope you subscribe, so I can twist your arm into raising some of your own. I have a lot more pics and stories and info to come!

You forgot to tell them why quail are so popular for raising at home.
Chickens take 16 weeks before they start laying but quail are half that time.

You are correct! Jumbo quail are ready to butcher at least by the 8th week and begin laying at ~6 weeks. Also, a quail will have layed 100 eggs before a chicken lays its first. I have a ton more info to build up on here! Stick around or sub and keep pointing out cool stuff or asking questions.

Guy I used to work with would go quail hunting couple times a year. Would bring in a whole bunch for everyone to try from time to time.
Overall not bad.

Ive always just popped the breast meat out with my fingers and thrown away the rest. Cooked it up like a little chicken breast. That's california quail tho.

I like the legs more than the breast of the coturnix. Mrs. Ruck will fry up about 50 of them to dip into various sauces for parties. The whole bird is delicious, but there's something awesome about holding the little drumstick.

Cool. I inherited a bunch of pigeons from my father in law. I want to get rid of them first. I hate pigeons.

There's a fellow bird nigger about 1000 yards from me with pigeons. He raises them for dog training and laughs at me when I say I'd eat them.

I good sized california quail will give you something like 2 ounces of breast meat. 3 of those, you got a meal.

I think it depends on the pigeon? I'm going to break down eventually and buy some of those too. There's something to be said about birds that'll hatch their own eggs.
