quail aggression help please!!
Posted: Sat May 14, 2011 7:28 pm
I have had 5 female quails for 6 days and one of them is getting picked on by only one other I think.
Her head had lost som e feathers and there is some blood on top of head.
I do not think they are overcrowded as my run is bigger than the one they were kept in before.
I beleive them to be about a year old.
The one being picked on is white and is now v sorry for herself,the others are the usual Japanese quail colours, although one is more tan coloured.
Should I separate them or will it stop do you think? Could this be due to the stress of moving to a new home?
Egg production has stopped, they only laid the day I picked them up but I believe this is normal until they settle in.
Any help gratefully received as I dont like to think of her in pain or suffering.
