quails are very easy to look after,they are not fussy eaters as you can have them in a bottem of an avairy and they will eat the seed droped by the other birds,as they are ground birds.Quails like dust or sand baths and spend alot of time playing.There diet is very simple they need water seed and fresh fruit daily.They bond with families well. If you are thinking of getting a smaller quails keep the water dish shallow.Female Quials do lay eggs ramdomly(like chickens but any where)if thinking of breeding you will need to take out the eggs and put them in a incubator.(for more info visit a breeder).
for more information ask the person/petshop who you are buying them from.
hope this helped

no because it is a different type of quail
When you are trying to hatch Tennessee red quail eggs, it will take approximately 23 days. You should perform lock down on the egg at 20 days. This is a period of time when there should be no disturbances because hatching is likely to begin.
Chicken eggs take about 21-22 days, various species of quail take from around 18 days to 26 days. Isn't evolution wonderful, and unpredictable?
