Friends of mine have 7 quail hens. They have a lot of room to run around and 3 different stalls with a wide open space to enjoy warm weather. Now they rest and do not lay eggs. They are not forced to do it by lights that suggest that it is summer. They are happy Ladies.
The better the life of the hens is, the better are the eggs.
