Honestly I'm not sure how many females I have. I have yet to do a head count since we finally got rid of the rodent problem
I know I've got at least 12, there are about 30 birds in the pen. I know I have 2 golden, 1 cinnamon, 1 tuxedo, and at least 1 (probably 2) white males. I don't know if the rosetta that got eaten was the male or the female. I'm also not sure if there is a brown male, though I believe there is. So theoretically there should be at least 20 females in the pen, and I'm lucky to get a dozen eggs a day. Lately it's been more like 8 or 9.
Our weather has been crazy this year, it's early October and the high for today barely got in the 60's. This is very unusual for this time of year. This summer was unusually hot as well.
Just curious if anyone else is having laying problems with their coturnix already.
