Make sure they have 14 hours a day of light. After about a week they should start laying. If not check for something that may be frightening or harming them. Could be anything from a dog to a possum. Good luck. I also leave a radio playing low where they are and they lay even during...
Sorry I have not been active. Been working a lot but I had to share. My hatch yesterday and today was a huge success. This is only about half of what has hatched so far...
Picked quail eggs or quail processed meat. However if you are not selling for them to be resold. Example, to a restaurant or store. You can sell them in Louisiana. So you can sell at the farmers market, your home, roadside stand, or out your truck.
Today I checked with four agencies before I found out about shipping eggs, fertile eggs, and live birds. Wanted to make sure if I needed to be NPIP certified. I will try to post later the exact text I finally received but short answer is no NPIP for quail needed. Unless shipping internationally.
