One of my quails, the one that started laying second on May 30. So 3 weeks of laying and she just stopped. She hasn’t been laying for 3-4 days. We started putting play sand in the coop instead of aspen shavings, it’s way easier to clean this way and other people have used it in the past with...

Hello!
New to BYC and am getting 3 female and 1 male Coturnix Quails soon. I will love any advice about raising quails! I would also like to know what your animals are named! BYC is a great option to keep me occupied in this quarantine.
