Button Quail Question

[tina2407]

I bought some button quail eggs that will be hatching soon. Once they hatch, how many weeks does it take for them to mature and start laying fertile eggs? I did a search but didn't see anything on this.

my buttons started laying at 7 weeks on 16 percent protien gbs

They can start laying anywhere from 7-12 weeks. I've read on here of people having them start at 5-6 weeks but that is very early and usually does not happen. With mine it is usually 9-10 weeks.
