I enjoy passing along knowledge that I've gained. I'm glad to be useful.

Oh, no. The quail don't care what kind of shell it is.

I use a stainless steel mortar. The oyster shell I buy is pretty thin and soft, so it crushes into smaller pieces easily. I don't see any reason to separate your egg and oyster shells. The birds will pick out what they like.

You could add the oyster or egg shell to their feed, but if you just offer it on the side they'll eat as much as they need.

I would remove a male or two to get closer to a 1:5 ratio. Other than that, especially with winter hatches, sometimes it can take up to 12 weeks before they lay.
