Want fresh eggs, but don't think you have enough space for chickens, then perhaps Japanese Quail are the answer.
• Females lay on average 300 eggs per annum
• Average egg size of 12 grams.
• 5 quail eggs is equivalent to 1 chicken egg in weight though white to yolk ratio is different.
• Quieter than chickens
• Need 45cm square space per bird, so 5 birds can be contained in a meter square, though I like to give them a bit more room.
• Can be bred and processed for meat, for those looking for alternatives
