Yes they are all very cute especially the one you like. Thanks for your comment and visit. Sara @ farmingfriends
Hi Paula, Yes they do have nice markings and the females make a lovely sound. They stay in the brooder for at least 3 weeks. Thanks for your question and comment.

Hi Jesie,
Thanks for visiting and commenting. Quail eggs taste nice and we like them with beetroot!

Hi Trish,
Thanks for this nice comment and your regular visits. At the moment they don’t take too much looking after but when they start laying it will be hunt the eggs.
