tuxedo and a&M quail

[darkgizmo1211]

hi i was wondering if A&M quails and tuxedo quails lay seasonal or do the lay all year long like the cotunix quail ty for and any help

A&M are coturnix quail. Tuxedo is a color that is found in both coturnix quail and button quail, but I'll just assume it's the coturnix version you are talking about here as well. So, as they are all coturnix, they all lay like coturnix. Whether that means they lay seasonal or not, is another discussion - but a coturnix quail that doesn't have any additional light usually won't lay during the winter, so I'd call them seasonal.

ok ty would u happen to know how to give them the additional light they accure to lay during winter

You can just place a lightbulb in or near the cage and set it on a timer so they get 14 hours of light a day.
