Title: How old till quail get full size?
Post by: nec500 on April 27, 2004, 07:38:42 PM

I am talking about bobwhite quail!
How old do quail have to be considered adults? How old do they have to be about so you can actually start eating them? Can I eat them when they are three or four months old? What is the best way to clean (i know it sounds stupid.)and cook a quail(deep fry, pan fry, grill, etc.)? Can I have the recipe? If so you can email them to me at timbojarski84@hotmail.com and please put as the subject: Recipe. Thank you alot. Thanks.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't if your wanting some to eat I would eat them they will just be a littler smaller and younger.
Younger means tender !!
Good Luck
