Quail eggs are quail eggs. Quail eggs are also known as quail eggs and quail eggs. Rich in nutrients, good in taste and of high medicinal value, although quail eggs are small in size, their nutritional value is as high as eggs and they are natural supplements.
Quail (scientific name: Coturnix coturnix), also known as red-bellied quail, is a bird of the genus Quail in the order Galliformes and the family Pheasantidae. Quail are timid birds by nature and do not like to interact in groups. Instead, they like to move in pairs in open and vegetation-covered plains, pastures, farmland and other environments.
This species is naturally timid, small in size and well camouflaged. It often lurks at the base of plants in farmland and pastures and is extremely difficult to find. When frightened, it will scream and fly away from its hiding place. Quail are mainly found in western Eurasia and Africa.

Extended information:
Quails generally lay one egg a day. Under normal circumstances, they can lay about 300 eggs a year, but the egg production rates of different species vary greatly, such as The annual egg production of Chinese white-feathered quail is about 265-300 eggs, the annual egg production of Korean quail is about 260-280 eggs, the annual egg production of Japanese quail is about 250-300 eggs, and the annual egg production of Estonian quail is about 315 eggs.
The lifespan of quails is generally about two years. The hatched female quails start laying eggs at about 42 to 45 days old. The egg production begins to decrease after 8 to 10 months after they start laying. If they are raised for more than one year, Quails with low production should be eliminated as early as possible, and they can be fattened and sold. The laying time of quail is usually around 2 pm to 8 pm. At this time, a quiet environment is needed, so don’t disturb it.
Methods to increase quail egg production
First of all, sufficient high-quality feed must be provided. After female quails start laying eggs, they have a strong appetite, and crude protein should generally account for about 28% of the feed. Quails lay more than 300 eggs in a year and consume a large amount of calcium and phosphorus, so attention should be paid to the supplementary supply of calcium and phosphorus in the diet.
Therefore, compound feed should be fed, and grains should be fed as little or as little as possible. The general compound feed is: 48% corn, 33% cake, 6% light fish meal, 5% hay meal, 5% shell meal, 3% bone meal and Multivitamin additives 0.3 percent.
Secondly, we must take care of the quail of that year. Pay attention to choosing individuals who are strong, disease-free, and have a strong appetite. The life span of quail is generally 2 years. The hatched female quail starts laying eggs in 35 to 45 days. After laying eggs for 8 to 10 months, her egg production decreases. Therefore, the egg production of quails raised for more than one year will decrease, and female quails that have laid eggs for more than one year should be eliminated as soon as possible and sold for consumption after fattening.
Thirdly, laying hens have certain requirements for temperature and humidity. If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, egg production will drop significantly or even stop. The appropriate house temperature should be maintained at 18 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. If it is too high or too low, it should be adjusted in time. The appropriate temperature inside the house should be controlled between 50% and 60%, and sufficient clean drinking water and chopped green and juicy feed should be maintained.
