CBF SuperQuail Coturnix Quail
Our own variety that we've been developing is our personal favorite!

S  T  A  T  I  S  T  I  C  S

Scientific classification: Coturnix coturnix

Incubation period: 18 days

Humidity for incubator: 50 - 60%

Move to hatcher/stop turning: 14 days

Matures at: 6 weeks.

Benefits of raising: Egg production, meat production. More classic looking quail than Texas A&M Coturnix.

We think they have the BEST qualities all in one package! They have the light skin coloring and make a prettier dressed bird, they are among the largest Quail varieties out there and mature at only 6 weeks! They are very hardy birds, and seem highly resistant to infection or disease.

Size/Weight: 14 + ounces - and we're constantly breeding for bigger size!

Sexing: Backwards from a Bobwhite, at maturity the male will have a darker eye mask and the female has a lighter one. (The bird above is a 6-week old female.)

Space/pen requirements: We prefer wire pens for quail; 25 birds can be housed comfortably in a 24”x30” wire cage with external feeding trough and automatic waterer or pop bottle waterer(s) - I would recommend 2-4 pop bottle waterers for that many quail. Dropping trays need to be cleaned at least every other day, especially when the weather is warm. There should be 4-6” between the bottom of the cage and the dropping trays. Disinfecting of all equipment in between use such as incubator, brooders, feeder/waterers, etc. is highly recommended as is daily disinfecting the feeder/waterers. Use a good product like TekTrol. Cedar shavings are poisonous to birds and should never be used. Newspapers, especially on young chicks, can cause leg and foot problems. For secure footing for young chicks, I recommend rubbery shelf-liner.

Breeding Ratio: Our breeding stacks have 5 males in a cage with 20 females. If egg production for eating eggs or hatching eggs is your goal, this is a great ratio. If you are raising the birds strictly for meat, it really doesn’t matter.

Special Needs: Very few, these are fairly easy, laid-back to birds to raise who are hardy and seem to have very little problems. Sometimes as chicks you might see a curled-toe chick (we call it a club foot). See my Foot Problems page for more info about this. Many factors, including incubation problems with heat or humidity may be the cause for such foot problems in any chick.
