Lights are white, I will check into a change over to red.
Thanks!

it might help; I found it made a world of difference to my birds and they also stopped brutally pecking each other.

yes, I'm curious too as this is the board where I recieved that advice when I was first starting, and I have heard this advice over and over by other aviculturists. Also, I found it worked well and in all the years i kept quail I never noticed any ill side effects from it.

Red lights are good for brooding chicks but are not good for breeders especially Corturnix. Corturnix males go infertile with low light .

Quick update for anyone who is interested or for someone looking for similar answer.
I believe I had "something" terrorizing my birds all along. I lost a couple birds a week or so back to something attacking through the cage so I added a layer of smaller wire (1/2 X 1/2) around the whole cage, but still allowing the birds to reach out in safety to the food and water. So with their new found security in place for over a week the eggs have started to roll - no other real changes! Thanks to the stress comment from komer, this might have been the issue all along.
For whats it worth!

Wow. I just came over here to post about this. I'm having the sam problem right now (with QUAIL lol). After reading the thread, I'm thinking it may be stress. Something (probably my cat) was harassing them all night. .22 rat shot and/or my pellet gun are in order tonight.
