I have a 40 egg incubator and I am building a stacked cage setup so I can start raising Coturnix Jumbo Quail for eggs and meat. They mature at 6 to 8 weeks on a little over $1 worth of feed and lay close to 300 eggs a year and dress out for meat at 5 to 7 ounces. They thrive on 3 birds per sq. ft. so my 2’ x 4’ stacked cage could house 72 quail.
