   Hi,everyone,
   Im new to this! I need some help! I have some female Japanese and Italian quail, along with a load of chicks!
   My Italian were laying when I bought them about 4 weeks ago and laid for about a week and them stopped. I thought they may be cold so brought them into the shed where i have the chicks which is very warm and cosy, with the light on for a good 12 hours a day. They are still refusing to lay! I also have 3, 9 weeks old ladies in there who havent even started yet!
   What am I doing wrong?
