Bob white quail: No eggs yet, any ideas?

[Jdunba]

Hi, I have four bobs, three females/1 male. I hatched them last July. I am in NJ and we are at the end of April and I have no eggs yet. Last year I had a pair that gave me eggs starting early April. My current bobs seem happy, they are now grooming each other. I try to keep the environment as calm and natural as possible-they have dust baths and natural logs that I put food on to encourage foraging. They enjoy and get greens, meal worms, nuts, seed and fruit. Perhaps I just need to wait it out? Wild quail that are being radio tracked haven't started nesting yet so maybe it is still early?

That's the same thing that happened to me
