Pharaoh quail, also known as coturnix quail, typically begin to lay eggs at around 6 to 8 weeks of age. However, optimal egg production usually starts around 8 to 10 weeks when they reach sexual maturity. Proper nutrition and environmental conditions can also influence the timing of egg-laying.
Mine are. all 5 of my females and no male insight for 5 months
Yes, they will, but not often. I have raised both Bobwhite and Coturnix Quail for years and never have the Coturnix sat and hatched their own eggs. However, I have had bobwhite hatch their own. This year I had a hen sit on 17 eggs and hatched 14. I found it very interested to see the morning after that the male helped her sit and keep the young warm, just siting side by side in the same nest.
Coturnix japonica is more commonly known as the Japanese Quail. This is the most common type of quail found in domestication. It has been domesticated since the 12th century. The Japanese Quail is a small brown bird with white speckles.
The euro quail, also known as the European quail (Coturnix coturnix), is a small migratory bird belonging to the pheasant family, Phasianidae. It is primarily found across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Known for its distinctive, melodious call, the euro quail is often hunted for sport and is also raised for its eggs and meat. The species is characterized by its speckled brown plumage, which provides effective camouflage in its grassland habitats.

I want to buy some Coturnix Quails so I can sell their eggs so how many kilograms of food would I need for 10 quails each month?
Quail are ground birds that are often hunted as "game" birds, or frequently raised for eggs and meat nowadays. They are related to pheasants. Quail build nests in the tall grasses of the plains and farmlands. With their camouflage coloration, they are more often heard than seen, and are one of the commonly heard singers around sunset in the Midwest US. The classification system lists the common quail in this order: * Kingdom: Animalia * Phylum: Chordata * Class: Aves * Order: Galliformes * Family: Phasianidae * Species: Coturnix coturnix (Common Quail)

It is possible, but coturnix do not tend to go broody. If you are giving the hen the chicks, after they hatched, she will most likely not raise them. She may even attack them and kill then, as they can look like a threat. If a coturnix hen is broody, the eggs she is sitting on can be removed, and the chickens placed under her. She will then raise the babies as her own.
The people of Japan have raised quail for centuries. The are not like chickens in the breeding and care. Keeping them in solitary pairs produces the best results. Separate cages are needed. Males are aggressive and very territorial. Please refer to the links below for more information.
