Spotting a Quail in the Bushes - Critter 111

We saw a quail in the bushes while we are walking or jogging around recently. The quail looks like a domestic one.

There are two domestic quails in our area that are:

- Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

- Common quail (Coturnix coturnix), few is domesticated.

We found quail's eggs sold in the farmer markets and bought some of them. The price is quite reasonable.

The farmers sell both fresh and pickled eggs:

- about US$ 8 per dozen for fresh egss.

- around US$ 12 per jar for pickled (processed) eggs.

We do have native quail, wild species in our state, Louisiana. The name for native species is Northern Bobwhite, Colinus virginianus.

Have you seen domestic or wild quails.
