So I hatched quail last May and June and am wondering about when they will start laying this year? I am in Oregon Willamette Valley.
Excited to hatch some more eggs!
Also how much added light do I need to start them laying early? I put in a string of 70 Christmas lights that are clear. Will this work? Trying to encourage egg laying sooner rather then later (LOL). I know the hours per day needed but wondering how much extra light is needed.
I also have 2 males and 5 females in one coop would it be a bad idea at this point to introduce another male from the other coop I have?
Last do the Ten. Reds breed only red or can they have regular bobs also. I have one coop of all reds.
Thanks for the info as usual.
