Moon shot! Did NOT need that for breakfast. This is a family friendly place.
I'm getting 1 quail egg a day from set #2. One (?) of those girls never stopped. May be saying thank you for taking a male out. On the other hand, the male that stayed wore the back feathers off all 3 of the girls very quickly with no extra lights. Something is going on there.
During warm weather, after one week, the chicks go outside. 7 to 9 weeks later to butcher. Worked well when I wasn't separating eggs by set for replacements. Thinking I'll need to start replacements in early spring. February? This conflicts with meat chickens. I have some mulling to do.
