2. Quails begin to lay eggs very much early – at the age of 40 days. If the weight of a bird reaches 90-100 grams, she is already capable to rush. It is possible to guess approach of a polovozrelost of a female on the fact that she begins to publish silent whistling. In the first month the female can bear a small amount of eggs – from eight to fifteen, in the next months the laying will make about twenty five pieces. The efficiency of quails depends on age. When the female only began to rush, the mass of one egg will be no more than seven grams. Gradually the mass of egg increases, at a two-month quail it reaches 10-12 grams.
