I have 4 Bobwhites in a 8x16 ft enclosure. One rooster and three hens. They are arounds nine months old.I thought they should be laying by now, but nothing. They are feed a game bird food and are given plenty of fresh water. They also have a 3x6ft coop to go in and out freely. Anyone with ideas why no eggs yet?
