Can someone tell me what age these different variations start to lay? Also are they all seasonal layers or if you put lights on them will they lay all the time like chickens? Snowflake bob California valley Brown pharaoh coturnix Gambel Chestnut bellied scaled Texas blue scale
All of these birds are mature at 6+ months of age however they generally won't lay until the following spring after their hatch. Yes, you can force lay them but it is not recommended until they are over 1 year old. Unlike chickens, you can burn quail out very fast with forced laying. They are not meant to lay daily like chickens.
