AS FOR YOUR SEXING... DO A SEARCH HERE FOR BEER SEXING, GRAB 1 OUTTA THE FRIDGE AND HEAD ON OUT TO THE QUAIL PEN

ALTHOUGH THE GOLDENS MAY BE SEXED JUST AS THE BROWNS WERE... BY BREAST FEATHERS, BUT WHITE AND ANY RANGE PATERN? NOPE...

Thanks-but I don't drink! I guess I'll have to try watching and waiting WITHOUT the beer!

NO WONDER YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SEX THEY ARE

I have 5 hens and only two were laying with 18% feed, I added Emergency vitamin drink mix to their water and now I'm getting 5 eggs a day

I have 2 bobwhite quails one a hen and other a rooster . Their about 2 month+ old and no eggs. I have then in a large outdoor aviary. I also live in south florida so the coldest it has been is mid 40s °f. Idk what am doing wrong

My younger ones stopped laying about 2 weeks ago and not an egg since. I have them in an old large rubbermade tub in our garage and I don't have any light on them and it's pretty cold outside, but my older ones are laying 2 - 3 eggs a day without any light. Not like they are any use to me because they freeze and crack. Also my older quail are in a plastic dog crate it would sort of be impossible to install a light in the dog crate. I am sort of worried any ideas?

I'm sorry I don't have experience with bobwhites but I *think* they take longer to lay and are seasonal layers?

I wouldn't be worried, it's normal for them and actually healthy to take a break over the winter. I had two laying groups of quail in Canada in the garage with no extra light and one group stopped laying about 5 weeks ago and the other about 3 weeks ago - they have nearly identical setups - several foot long rabbit hutch on top of each other so same light as well.
