Instructions

1

If you want to get a quail just to get useful eggs, you do not need to take males at all. It is quite enough to purchase the laying hens at the age of one and a half to two months.

2

Quail begin to lay eggs very early -at the age of 40 days. If the weight of the bird reaches 90-100 grams, it can already be carried. On the onset of maturity of the female can be guessed by the fact that she begins to make a quiet whistling. In the first month the female can demolish a small number of eggs - from eight to fifteen, in the following months the masonry will be about twenty-five pieces. The productivity of quails depends on age. When the female only started to sweep, the mass of one egg will not be more than seven grams. Gradually the egg mass increases, in a two-month quail it reaches 10-12 grams.

3

On the day the birds bring one egg each. When the quail took 5-10 pieces, for a couple of days she takes a break for a rest. For a year from one bird receive up to three hundred eggs, each of which is about 18 grams by weight. Small quail sizes do not prevent them from carrying large enough eggs - their ratio to the body weight is about 7.6%.

The sawed eggs have the following dimensions: length 27.2 mm, width - 22.5 mm. The thickness of the shell is 0.22 mm. The color of the eggs can vary from dark brown, white and blue to light yellow, with specks of brown, blue and black. The coloring of eggs can affect many factors.

5

Some females carry eggs with pigmentation,which is characteristic of this particular individual. But if some inaccuracies or irregularities are committed in the feeding or keeping of quails, the quail will carry eggs with a different color. For example, if the egg was in the oviduct for a very short time, the shell does not have time to form properly and turns out to be thin, with a bluish tinge. In cases of disease of the oviduct, the eggs turn dark green.
