I just got my first quail a few weeks ago (brown and Texas A&M Cotournix). I built a cage with a 1/2" hardware cloth bottom so I could minimize cleaning (see below). Quick questions:
1. Will they just lay their eggs anywhere? If I don't grab the eggs right away will they peck them? I didn't want to put any bedding (because I'd have to clean it)
2. When are they old enough to put on the mesh 24 / 7?
3. I think I read they will start laying by 6 weeks, is that right?
4. Should I put a bulb on a timer for the winter, I saw somewhere 14 hours a day
