Hello all! New-ish to the quail thing. I hatched out 13 quail, and they are 11 weeks old. Here’s the thing.....I’m around them all the time and haven’t heard a single rooster crow. I know what it sounds like. No crowing. Is this unusual? Also, I got my first egg yesterday. At first I was thinking oh I must have a bunch of males because they’re not laying (I’m in Florida, so plenty of daylight). But then I was thinking about how they never make any noise aside from the cheep cheep of regular quail. Do roosters have to crow? I think I may just be confused. If they’re all females I’m just not sure why it took so long to lay.
Thanks all for the advice!!
