How Do you encourage quail Hens to lay more?

[chickencrazy999]

Hello, I have 2 quail enclosers 1 with 4 hens and 1 cock and the other with 3 hens and a cock and was wondering how to encourage them to lay more as i am only getting about 3 eggs a day i do not know if its to do with the weather as it is quite hot ! so please could you give some advice thank you

3 eggs a day is pretty spot on for you from each pen

but if you mean 3 eggs from 7 hens then heat is one factor

the other is 14 hours of light is needed for optimal laying
