So my quail laid 2 beautiful eggs their first day here. It's been 2 days since, and.... nothing.
They have a sand pan, oyster shell, 28% game bird feed, water, and a darker space if they need shelter.
Why aren't they laying?
I also have a timer on them to increase daylight to 14 hours.
 
You say their first day here....meaning they are new arrivals. The stress of the move may have prevented them laying....the eggs they laid on the first couple of days would already have been inside them, developed and 'ready to go' as such, so they have merely 'expelled' them but the stress may have prevented their body from making more at the moment. I'm sure, once they've settled in, they'll come back into lay.

Alright. Thank you. I wasn't sure as I've never recieved birds at POL before.
 
Well, you are providing everything they need so now it's just a case of patience...something that's never in abundance when we have new cheepers! Lol! xx
