Female english white not laying

[Quails4lif3]

Hello! My quail are about 6 months old. I have 7 females. We have been getting 6 eggs a day. My English white however is the moodiest and in the last 3 weeks has become more agressive. I havent seen her lay... Is it possible that she is a he? She never tries to mate with the other birds and has never crowed.

Has anyone ever had a female that didnt lay? I am not for the drama.. ha, the covey was doing so well before the bird became weirdly agressive.

They are on 28% protein and always have clean water with vitamins. They have proper treats and i clean the cage well. They are well cared for birds.

Thank you!

I've tired. No foam tho..

Does it have the lump below the vent? The only other way to know is wait and see or not wait and look at the insides.

Good luck, and let us know when you find out.

Yes, I had one female that never laid a single egg. She was always wild and skittish and annoyed everyone else so I finally culled her after a year and a half. If yours is female she could be too stressed to lay for whatever reason, despite your best efforts.

Female. I dispatched due to behavior. Upon butchering i discovered yoke sacks. Very interesting. I wonder why she never laid an egg? But oh well.
Thanks everyone!
