Usual reason is the shortening day length, as the year progresses - poultry and game birds do not naturally lay during the winter. Also things such as a change of surroundings or being frightened by a predator can bring laying to a stop.

How many eggs does a gambrel quail lay?

A Gambel's quail typically lays between 10 to 14 eggs in a clutch. However, the number can vary, with some clutches containing as few as 6 or as many as 20 eggs. The eggs are usually laid in a ground nest, which the female carefully conceals to protect them from predators. After laying, the female incubates the eggs for about 23 to 24 days.
