No eggs in a week

[Tikkajazz94]

I haven't gotten any eggs in a week. So I was going down the list, They do have water, Its sorta warm outside, and than I realized. I decressed how many times a day I feed them. I use to feed them twice to three times a day. andI got busy and it went to one time a day. So I will be moving them into a cat cage in the hay shed, See about getting a extanction cord and put a brooder light in there. And hopefully Have some eggs again.

Water lasts 2 days, Food lasts 3-5 hours (Depends on the day and how much they eat to stay warm).

Could It be food that is truly an issue? Oh and Can I take chicken egg shells and feed that to the quail for a source of calcium?

Could it be their season is coming to an end? I thought I read somewhere they slow down when it turns cold?

Yah, But I would rather think of it being food. Um. I would rather get more eggs from them and put a dozen in the bator. I only have two

and putting two in a BrowersTop Hatch (TH120) would feel foolish.

The days are getting shorter this time of the year and a decrease in natural light. When the light they receive increases they lay. When the light decreases they don't.

bobs are just like any wild bird, they only lay during their season...and it IS coming to an end. So you might not get anymore till next year

Their season is coming to an end but I would say it's probably the food. Get a feeder that holds at least 1 day's worth of food; when they run out of food they get stressed and

stressed = no eggs
