Alight, so my first batch of quail. I had them inside for the first 7 weeks. They started laying around 6 weeks, I moved them outside at 7 weeks about 2 weeks ago (give or take). Egg laying continued to increase until a few days ago. Then suddenly stopped. No predators or anything else around that could have stressed them into stopping laying. Just suddenly no eggs....
Could the light change from inside to outside taken that long to mess them up and stop them laying? Could it be the feed doesn't have enough protein to keep them laying (19% Game bird chow). Do I need to add oyster shell to get them laying again? (They didn't have soft or brittle eggs before though...). Just kinda stumped.
