There are many varieties of quail, but the most commonly produced here are the native Bobwhite Quail. The Coturnix Quail (sometimes called Pharaoh Quail or Japanese Quail) is well known for the quail eggs they produce year round. Both quail eggs and dressed quail sales to individuals and restaurants have increased as Americans learn to enjoy them. Bobwhite Quail are produced for the restocking and preserve markets.
