Thanks for the infoHard question----some hens still lay older than that, some sex-links lay out a lot sooner than 4 or 5?
Different breeds of quail live longer than others so they probably a difference in how old they are when they stop. Maybe some serious quail raisers will respond.
YEP THEN YOU'LL GET PLENTY OF EGGS I'M GOING TO DO THISYes, at the 2 year mark, start hatching a new batch of future layers. Then slaughter the existing layers when the new batch reaches 8 weeks.
That's the way. An old layer eats as much as a young layer but gives you with 30% - 50% fewer eggs? No freeloaders on my watch. If you want to eat, you work!YEP THEN YOU'LL GET HEAPS OF EGGS I'M GOING TO DO THIS![]()
