puddleduck Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm new to keeping quail and have 5 girls collected a week ago, I had 2 eggs within a couple of hours but nothing since I'm feeding layers pellets (crushed) and the odd meal worm/veggie treats Are they still in the settling in period or should I be getting eggs again now? Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If they behave like chickens it will be eggs 'in transit' that are laid initially. Then they won't start laying for about two weeks, until they feel secure in their new environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
