My coturnix quails aren't laying eggs

[Johnchickens2]

Hello! Such a wonderful place for informatoin about raising birds.
Last month I bought three quails, 1 male and two hens. The male has already started mating with them but they are not laying yet. They have light for 14 hours a day and I give them crushed eggshells every day in addition to their own food. I dont know what the problem is.

Hi and welcome to BYC. Sadly, I know zip about quail, but these peeps do - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/48/quail

I'm sure if you post on the quail forum you will get some advice / suggestions.

Best wishes
