    Yolk Color

    When I first started raising quail, the yolks were a rich dark yellow. It's been a while since I've done anything other than hard cook eggs, but yesterday, I decided to scramble a batch.

    Quail Egg laying time

    I'm a newcomer to quail, or poultry of any kind, and have a silly question. I've always been under the impression that chicken, at least, typically lay their eggs in the morning. My Coturnix jumbos seem to lay mostly between 3 PM and 9 PM. They're in my garage along with an aquaponics system...
