Chickens, ducks and geese aren’t the only birds well suited for acreages. Other species of poultry do very well under similar conditions and like the mentioned birds, can provide you with meat and eggs. Coturnix quail, pronounced “kuh-tur-niks”, are an excellent bird for acreage owners who might be limited on space and desire a small bird that provides both eggs and meat in a fraction of the time a chicken takes to provide you with eggs.
