One of my hens is already laying!
I live in south central Mississippi. We have pretty mild winters. I have 5 hens and 2 toms. I live in the country on about 30 acres. My turkeys free range until early spring and then go to breeding pens. I found one of my hens today sitting on a clutch of 13 eggs!! I noticed she had been going... -

Quail not laying.
I’m new to quail, bought 10 coturnix a week ago that had supposedly just started laying. Got them home, had three eggs that day. They have not laid another egg. I am feeding them a game bird feed that is 30% protein and 1.50% calcium and I add some chick grit. Anything else I can do. Any advice... -
How long in the brooder?
Thanks. It’s still in the low 70s high 60s here so I’ll give them another week or so. -
How long in the brooder?
Im new to raising quail and have 22 I hatched 2 weeks ago in the brooder. How long before I can put them in a pen?
