➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

It is torture I get home from work and I move everything around looking for eggs but never find any
i didn’t even get mine collected last night.....we had to process the turkeys way past dark and the quail were very flighty with us walking through.....luckily low was near 50 so they didn’t freeze.
 
I have lights on them they have plenty of space they hit 8 weeks yesterday I mean come on what’s the hold up you have everything you need let’s get this show on the road
how many females do you have?? are all the extra males processed already? you could sacrifice a female if planning to process soon to get an idea of how close they are
 
Everything I read said quail typically start laying “around” six weeks but I also get short days could be affecting that outcome as well I will know come spring if short days are the culprit cause as soon as mine start laying I’ll start collecting for a spring hatch when spring is almost here not holding eggs till then I mean

Well I’m going to process 12 on Wednesday and they are all the smaller ones I’m sure there are some females in that mix and I’m hoping I find some yolks inside or something that indicates close to point of lay
 
i told DH that i much prefer quail processing but he reminded me that even though it seems easier, we would have do do 100 to equal the turkeys :lau still have to finish processing 3 deer this week:th
I processed two deer Sunday and have lots in the freezer now going to go hunting the next couple of days and hope to get a couple then too
