I know they WERE laying eggs....

My Hubbs and I recently bought 4 Texas A&M. 1 male 3 female. They were laying eggs galore for the woman we bought them from. We gradually switched over to our feed which is practically the same as what she was giving.... Only addition is the crushed corn..... I figured the stress of moving would set them off a little. How long do they need to adjust before they begin laying again?

When I got my ducks that were laying at their previous home it was 6 weeks before they started laying at my house. So it can be awhile.

My chickens were like that too. Didn't know if quail were the same or different

I'm not sure.

Mine took a couple days shy of 4 weeks before the first one started laying. 7 weeks until all were laying. It takes time....

When i got my trio of A&M quail, one roo two hens, I got an egg while prepping their hutch the first day, and an egg the second day. I was giving them gamebird feed, and i dint see another egg for about a week, so this past saturday when we went to the feedstore, i bought layer feed, and that afternoon gave them a 1:1 ratio of gamebird and layer. Sunday evening i had another egg. And last night i got 2! i was so excited. I also offer them free choice oystershell, but since i mixed the layer, they haven't really been eating it.
