I have 5 coturnix that were given to me. They are about 15 old weeks now. I cannot tell the sex. One started laying about 7 days ago. I have been getting an egg a day since then. I have a few questions...
1. Should I assume there is only one hen, or is it possible more could be lagging behind in getting started laying?
2. Can I assume that since the hen is laying, the eggs will be fertile? Do the roos know what do do right away or does it take time to get going?
3. Is there a way to check fertility other then putting them in the incubator?
Thanks.
