quail laying shut down

[mwm715]

I moved my pen to a spot with more blockage from the wind on Saturday, and also changed my Christmas light timer to just stay on from 4am-4pm since we’ve had gloomy, rainy weather lately. I was just subsidizing from 4am-7am. Woke up to 2 eggs today!

I'm getting ready to process all of the extra males this or next weekend and moving the hens back to the garage for the winter. I'll be able to control climate and lighting easier there. I'm hoping that takes care of the problem.

Those extra males are probably causing the issue

Those extra males are probably causing the issue

The extra males are in a separate cages. I have 16 hens and 3 males in the 1 cage. The others, I've got 12 males in 1 cage and another 10 or so in another cage. Just, no room in the garage hutch, just yet. Once I rid myself of the males in that hutch, I'll move my hens in.
