infertile quail?

when do quails go infertile ( hens stop laying )?



modified to remove excessive question and exclamation marks.

Most quail won't lay in bad weather (Japanese quail at least, I don't know anything about any other type) , as soon as ours see rain and it gets cold they give up and don't lay again until it's warm.
Last year ours stopped in september and didn't start again until around March. This is because they need a lot of light for their egg production (much more than chickens) Some people keep them under lamps to keep them laying, but we just let them get on with it and have a break over winter.

As for when they stop laying altogether i'm not entirely sure, my oldest quail are only 18 months now so haven't reached that stage. But I presume they're like chickens and are born with all the eggs they're going to lay, so will stop when they have all been laid. (I'm sure someone else will correct me  if i'm wrong =) )

you so googled that! x

I was distracted by the donkeys.
