I'm in PA, zone 5. My coturnix quail are housed in a rabbit hutch outdoors, natural light only. All born last summer and laying in the fall. I feed gamebird crumble.
Is anyone else still waiting for eggs? This is the first group i've overwintered. All the chickens, ducks and geese have been laying for a couple of weeks. Any ideas?
 
My quail are probably slightly younger than yours, also housed outdoors, and I have not gotten any quail eggs. We are at about 11 hours of sun a day right now. My chickens just started laying about 3 weeks ago, not all of them are laying yet though. And I haven't gotten any duck eggs either. I think the oddly warm winter has me anxious and thinking they should be laying now but it's still pretty early in the year.
 
Thanks everyone. I was thinking it was just me :) The warm weather is making me impatient plus the fact that I have a lady willing to trade me fertile Welsh Harlequin eggs for quail eggs. I really want those duck eggs. Lol.
