Do male Quails crow?

Question

Sorry if this sounds a little daft but I've reared plenty of chickens and the cockerels used to start crowing at about 4am in the Summer time....I now just have hens but would like to start rearing quail.

Whilst I've done a fair bit of research into how best to incubate the eggs and rear the quail chicks etc I haven't found anything that mentions whether or not they start roaring their heads off in the early hours! :o) Be grateful for any info and advice I can get. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yes!! Chinese painted (button quail) have an erie call they do this at any time of the day.

Cortinux ,Japanese,Quail have a louder call but not as erie,this is usually at morning and night.

But none of these are as loud and noisy as Poultry.

Answer 2

yes
