I have 4 adult females right now, and was getting 4 eggs a day. 1 light egg, 1 medium egg, 1 dark egg, and 1 light/blue inside. I removed 3 of the 4 males (they matured and started "overbreeding", so I kept the heaviest). The birds seem healthy, I don't see any issues with them. They are all active and eating/drinking. In the last couple weeks, the blue egg layer has not layed any eggs.

I feed purina game bird layer with meal worms every once in a while. They have unlimited access to food and water. They are on wire, and the bedding is changed once a week.

TL;DR one of my quail stopped laying, I can't figure out why.

How long ago did you remove the extra boys? If it was recent, that might do it.

Quail don't like change, and it can take them a while to get used to it. It's possible that you removed her favourite boy. Give her a couple weeks.
