I guess I don't really understand your question. They just start laying later in the year than bobwhites and coturnix. As quaillady said, they eat the same thing as other quail.

what i meant by coaxing them, is , can you use artificial lighting to get them to lay year round? and i have a trio locked in i pick them up thursday i am so excited.

I've never heard of anyone using artificial lighting on valleys, they only have a spring breeding season. Good luck on your trio!

Yes you can.....just start giving the 16 hr of light................most birds can...nothing like 300 eggs from corturnix hen.

plus birds need a rest ,but know you can get well over 6 months from most.

Actually incubation for valleys is 21 days. Same temp and humidity as bobwhites.

mine more like bobs 22 to 23 days.....not sure if it the area you are from.
