when should i see eggs

[pigeons in ak]

I have a pair of bobwhite quail that just started mating and i would like to know when will i see some eggs?

I'm not to familiar with them, but I believe it is 16 weeks before they start laying.

So they mate and 16 weeks later she will lay eggs?

I just had a friend who has some tell me that they reach maturity at 16weeks old, but do not start laying until 22-25weeks of age. Hope this helps.

I don't know what age they are the person who i got them from said they where full grown.
Since they started mating when will she start to lay?

 

[ChickenDude101]

That means they are probably just starting to hit maturity so I would give them a couple more weeks

Do you know how many eggs she will lay in a cluch?

1 egg a day and about 100 every year. There is a period in time where she will stop due to the amount of sunlight you will get.
