I have noticed that. They will go up it but not often. I enclosed the bottom of the coop and gave them a barrel with bedding on ground level. They still won't go in at night. I have come to the realization that quail are not as bright as chickens by a long shot.

I have 12 Jumbo coturnix quails. All born around July 4. I have not vent sexed them but from watching back of neck feathers I would say I have 4 males. So why have I not seen any eggs? Is it the male/female ratio? Is it their enclosure? Could it be their feed? I have my old small chicken...
