8 week old quails not laying

Hi everyone, our quail are 8, nearly 9, weeks old and still not laying. We constructed an aviary set up for them, and we have 14 total quail, 11 female and 3 males. One male is particularly annoying to the hens but I’m not sure if he could be causing issues or not. They’re fed a mix of 30% protein starter feed and 20% protein game bird feed. They have two water dispensers and two food dishes that are filled daily, they also forage, are free fed calcium, and occasionally get mealworms or soldier fly larva.

We bought three hens from another local farmer and they laid the first day we had them but have since stopped. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
