Egg laying question

[tmart82692]

22% is actually fine for laying/grown cot quail. Make sure you offer calcium (crushed oyster shell or egg shells) when you switch.

You may want to keep a close eye on the male. The male may be overmating the one female and that's why she isn't as active/happy.

I have noticed that he mates with the one who is laying. She's lost a lot of her feathers from it but the one that is not laying has most of hers.

If she starts going bald, separate them or get more females. You don't want her getting too stressed.

Its not to the point that its concerning but it is a noticeable difference.
