males crowing

Hi

I was just wondering if male quail crow like cockerals :?:

Thanks

Sam.

Hi Sam,

Male japanese quail do crow, but it's nothing like a cockeral.

Its much quieter, shorter and you tend to only get a couple of crows, not hours like a cockerel!

It sounds like someone's holding their head under water to me! Very shrill warbling,

Mine sound like they have sore throats, but i kinda like it. Its not too loud at all. My neighbour complained about mine to the council and i got a letter, but they listened and said there was nothing to worry about, but my neighbour hates us and call us Gypsies. Its a bit ruddy cheeky though as my Husband comes from a Gypsy family and is proud of his heritage.

But back to the topic no the crowing isn't too bad and i only get a couple of crows a day now they are all sorted into groups.

My chickens make more noise than the quail - and I don't have a cockerel. And I actually rather like the sound the male makes - a sort of cut short buurrrupp
noise (not burp!) its burrruuupp

I've got an ark full of the males and they're all doing it now!! I like it and it's not very annoying at all - much quieter than a cockerel. My neighbours didn't even know we had quail til I took some eggs around this morning.

Thanks for all of your replies. What time do they start. Is it in the early hours of the morning like cockerals.

I've heard my out side cocks crowing at 2am in the summer, and the shed boys crow when ever the like, but its not a loud annoying crow, so shouldnt bug any neighbours.

i did not mind it when i had japs my partner did tho moaned all the time altho my male sebrights noisey he does not start till 7 sometimes 8 in the morning the japs crowed all night even when it was dark
