Im not expert here but I would bet the up in production was related to the Lysin. But as was stated above the calcium would likely be a problem long term

I bet the up in production is due to the increasing amount of daylight.

Doubt it was the light. My quail are housed in an outdoor shop with an electric light. There's a some light from the windows on the opposite side of the shop from their cages, but not much.
Far as I know Lysine is for muscle growth in growing birds, have no clue how it affects eggs. The DoMor quail feed I use has 1.35% Lysine so your Payback concentrate is nothing out of the ordinary. Other than overdosing them with ca I see no difference between the Payback concentrate and the Purina chicken layer feed you've been using. You didn't list the vitamin & mineral contant so that makes it impossible to make an accurate comparsion. Bottom line is I don't see how changing from one low quality feed to another low quailty feed increases egg production.

One low quality feed to another? How is purina gamebird layena a low quality feed for laying quail hens?
You confused us in your OP where you said you were using Purina Layena which is chicken feed. Since you clarified purina gamebird layena disregard the low quality comment.
Add some greens to their diet and this will help as well.
