Button quails..?

Question

i bought button quails about 5 weeks ago and there doing just fine..i hope. i recently put them into a huge wooden house.

they use to be in a 10 gallon aquarium but my dad built them a big wooden house so they will have more room

(i have 6 of them)

i just want to make sure there doing fine

they have got bigger and grew more feathers,

there color has changed a little bit

but they have not laid eggs..is that normal..? how long will it be until they lay eggs

i got them when they were just babies

okay and the food do i have to change their diet since they got bigger? or do i feed them the same thing? there currently eating starter feed..i think which is like powdery mesh thingy.

i keep there light on at night but not in the morning..is that okay?

i just want to make sure im doing everything right... :)

thanks for your help

Answer 1

Assuming you have females they generally start laying at 6-8 weeks old.   Generally they are fed game bird starter through out their lives you just don't have to grind it as small as they grow larger.
