Quails laying?

[protodon]

This is the first time i have had coturnix over the winter. I don't give them extra light. Does anyone know when they start laying again? My chickens seem to be going full steam since their late fall/early winter break.

I believe they need about 14 hours of light in order to lay, so I guess you need to wait until daylight is up to 14 hours.

Try stringing some fair lights around the inclosures. It helps all my birds start laying and the light is soft.

They will begin laying a few weeks after daylight reaches 14hours. I don't know the date that will happen, because I give mine extra light.
