I'm getting 3 eggs per day from a pen of 8 white/tuxedo/italian quail, mostly unable to sex other than watching their breeding. In a separate pen I have 7 wild type with at least a few females, however none of the birds in this pen have begun to lay.
My first egg was about a month ago and I expected all females to be laying by now.
They are getting around 12-14 hours of light per day. I'm feeding 23% protein and have crushed oyster shell on the side. No treats. Are they ever going to lay?
