I used wood...……..I had some old used pine lumber that I ripped into 1 X 2 and used that with 1/2 inch hardware cloth. I will get a picture and send it.

I'm just starting with quail myself. I recently built cages, as I couldn't find anything available that I wanted. There are some good videos on Youtube about building quail cages. Good Luck!

It was likely the freshest egg, maybe just a few hours prior. I have had the same experience more than once.

Wow, thanks for the information!

I have had chickens for many years and had an incubator some time ago. I recently acquired a few jumbo Coturnix Quail and will need to purchase an incubator. Does anyone have suggestions or can you tell me what works best? I'm not needing a large incubator I'm keeping things small!

I think they are both pullets

Welcome to BYC! You might find information on the net and surely someone here can help. There is much good information on this site.

Maybe a black sex link and Barred Plymouth Rock Cross...…..just a thought.

Above is some very sound advice. I couldn't agree more!

I agree; it's a cockerel

My opinion is they are just fine; I'm guessing they are eating a lot more than just beans.

Welcome! This site is loaded with great information.

Yes the rooster will be aggressive with your cockerel. I know we all have our own reasons but you don't really need two roosters with 9 hens, maybe consider re-homing one of them.

Likely some stress with the move and acclimating to the new surroundings.

It's unlikely a four year old Leghorn laid three eggs in one afternoon; some good comments above.
