Thank you. They were laying before me an the owner sexed them and put a band on them. I think you are right and I have to be patient. To top everything off I just check on them at noon and something killed 10 of them. I will be re-fabricating a safer pen tonight
I am having a similar problem. Got quail a week ago, have about 25. Eating and drinking heathy but no eggs. 14 hours of light everyday. What am I doing wrong
the two bigger ones are almost 4 months. Small ones close to three. One large one will give a yelp and will get the younger one crowing. I think out of the five two younger ones are Roos but that is a guess
Please help. I live in a development and these birds are giving a half hearted crow in the morning . I need to know if these are hens or roosters. Here is another pic
