rufusrooster Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Ive read that quail tend to just lay there eggs anywhere in the run ? is it possible to train them to lay in a nest or box of somesort ? im worried they will just get buried in the aubiose / easibed, will i have to search through every day to find them ?

TheGirlsMum Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 They do tend to laying roughly in the same areas but you do have to hunt for them....sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I searched everyday, normally they used the same kind of areas I think if one lays somewhere the others do too. If I found a stray buried egg I wasn't sure about I would just do the freshness test on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ours were always laid in odd places but usually each quail uses the same place each time so we know where to look. I just have to make sure I don't step on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 All but one of our quail lay in a small wicker cat basket that I picked up in a charity shop. I think that's more luck than anything else though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
