A quail which is breed to lay eggs should receive 14 hours of light per day. This may mean that artificial lightning may be needed. If the quail receives the right amount of light, they will approx. lay 1 egg per day. On average they will lay 200-300 eggs per year.

In the wild and in captivity it depends on species. Many species will breed in the wild when conditions are suitable - good weather and plenty of food that's easy to find - for instance coturnix spp.. otherwise they will breed once or sometimes twice each year, again, often associated with suitable conditions. In captivity, CPQ (USA - buttons) and Japanese quail (coturnix japonica and its very many domestic forms which masquerade under very many names), are fully domesticated and will produce eggs from the age of about 6 weeks and stop only to moult, if they are fed appropriately. Other species will usually lay eggs from late spring through to late summer or early autumn/fall, but some species are more reluctant to breed in an aviary than others.
