RE: CCC contest Looking back Look forward 5.29- my news
My birds are not laying eggs all of them. They have a maturation time to start laying eggs. At 8 weeks of age, they are ready to lay eggs.
They lay one egg every 20 to 22 hours.
I have 5 females and I hope that soon they will all be activated to lay eggs.
There is one male for 3 females but I bought only one male.
I give them prepared food to stimulate egg laying. They sell it at the farm store.
My garden is beautiful, it has eggplant plants, tomatoes, and peppers but in the envelope seeds I bought and sowed there is only one radish growing, out of 20 seeds only one was good to develop.
When I get out of this harvest I will try again by putting all the seeds I have left in the remaining envelopes, adding them to another fertilized soil, and waiting.
I think the bought seeds are K3 or perhaps old. It's disappointing. With me the seeds did sprout but no fruits. It grows very slow took months and still nothing. It's better to use the seeds from own plants. You are lucky with what you have.
I wonder why one male is not enough. They do not lay eggs without a male like chickens?
They lay eggs without the presence of a male, prepared food is enough for them to lay better. But I also want to have fertile eggs that can only be obtained when the male is present.
I want to have more quails born in my house.
