Hoping for some advice about a sudden change in egg quality for the last week/week and a half (hoping I can blame the weather?)
Have a 7 month old Belgian d'Uccle who started laying just before Christmas and was laying a consistently perfect little egg every 2-3 days. She didn't seem to get the...
Pic for reference, not my pic. I have those kind of quails. They were sold to me as jumbo quails. We got them Aug. 17 and the person said they were 1-2 weeks old. It's beginning December now and no eggs. Why aren't they laying yet?
